Oh, interesting. I went off @siggy47's own list in #1206886, so maybe his method for finding book reviews is missing some
I actually hadn't noticed that they weren't on his list.
Too much Den; gotta stop writing, I guess
Terrible idea
Did you just do list 4? There are the first three volumes too, and there is also a high likelihood that I missed a bunch.
Ah - I didn't realize there were 3 other volumes of reviews. Will go back and get those too. We really need editable posts!
Also, I decided early on that I don't include book review links, which to me seems obvious, although I made a few exceptions for posts by the original authors.
what do you mean by not including book review links?
Some people will mark a post book review, but they didn't write it. They include the link to another web site. Some will also make it appear they wrote it and then include the link at the bottom of the post. In other words, it was a link post, not an original work. I also try to ignore ai, but I'm sure some slipped in.
ah, got it
Wow so many things to read.
Great work and excellent categories.
