Learning to be choosy!
A good friend of my recently bought me a year’s subscription to the Literary Review. For anyone who does not know this magazine, it’s published monthly in English and contains a series of fairly detailed reviews of recently published books. There is a bit more to the magazine than that, but 90%+ is book reviews.
There seem to be no specific genres it focuses on. In my first month’s edition there a Read more of this blog post »
