Most recent activity

Thanks for the kind words about my reviews. I've given "thumbs" to a few of yours already. Some of my reviews are redacted from papers and abstracts I had written in school, but most of them were written as reviews that I had blogged earlier, or that had gone on my website. These days, LibraryThing is actually where I post reviews first, before other venues.

I added 30 reviews just this month, thanks largely to the new LT collections feature, which let me catalog "Read but unowned" books without hurting the data integrity of "My library."(All my "Read but unowned" books carry reviews, otherwise I don't bother.)

Now that I have a "Favorites" collection, I've also set myself the task of reviewing all those books--but that may take a while, since I'm more inclined to write reviews of books I've read more recently. Some fruitful rereading may be in order.
