I just noticed that I haven't posed a review since March 17 though I have read quite a few books. For some, I just wasn't feeling it. For others, I couldn't figure out how to start, what approach to take. For the rest, laziness set in.
Here's what I read between then and now. I've put a * by books I'd like to review.
