Sorry for the short post, but it's late.
Someone on Ravelry suggested that I should write book reviews, an idea that I thought to give pause to. It seems to me that this would be an excellent forum in which to try it out. I can't promise to do one every week, but I'll post again tomorrow with the first... and we'll see how it goes from there.
