Book Review Update

It took some time, because I couldn’t find a plugin that could help, but I am pleased to say that I’ve gone through every book review on this website (all 143 of them). All links have been updated where possible, or otherwise removed. All affiliate links have been deleted. All book cover images have been updated, and all reviews without a book cover now has one. I have also added ratings to the reviews where I had a rating on Goodreads but not here, leaving a handful with no rating (sorry, I didn’t want to give a guess based on what I had written).

My early reviews were a bit of a mess, and I have updated them as best I can so that they fall into line with the later ones.

As previously stated, the posted reviews are from 2005 to 23 February 2019. My next task is to try and find a later backup with the rest. Failing that, the other option is to copy and paste them from Goodreads and/or LibraryThing. Honestly, I don’t fancy that option at all. I’ll keep you posted (excuse the pun).

And on another note, I discovered something interesting (or at least it was interesting to me). During this long, tedious update process, I discovered the first audiobook I listened too was Shadows by John Saul in September 2009 and the first ever ebook I read was Realmshift by Alan Baxter in November 2009. 2009 was a big year of discovery it seems. Sadly, I cannot tell you the title of the first book I read or what year it was read. It was far too long ago, and I have no idea.

Edited on 30 January 2023: Lucky me, I found another backup and have uploaded another 55 reviews today, so the reviews now go up to November 2020. All are up-to-date as far as I can tell. Please let me know if you find anything amiss.
