As promised, the first year of book reviews is posted below! From now on there will be a link in the left-hand column. Thanks so much, Ber, for asking whether sketches would be treated with a similar post – I hadn’t thought of it, but will get onto it soon…
Speaking of sketches, thought I’d give away a very little birthday present – I’ll pop the ‘Book Reviews Made Easy’ sketch in the post to someone, as a souvenir. If you’d like it, just comment in the comments – shall we say a couple of days to enter? It’s only, as Elaine at Random Jottings would say, a Bijou Prizerette.
Have just made a coconut cake, which can be considered a birthday cake…
Coconut cake, Mmmmmmmmm… Enjoy!
Many happy returns on Your Day and congrats on your first year – so glad your site is here (for our enjoyment).
Bijou Prizerette? Oooo… Another drawing? Put my name in, please. Thanks.
Here’s my name for the Bijou Prizerette too … and what an impressive (and neat – in all senses) Year One review list. (Also love the Jane Austen option on the sketch … ).
Many Happy Returns to both you and the blog!
I would love to be in your draw please.
Please pop my name into the hat – I’d love a Stuckinabook Original !
What a great way to display your book reviews! Congratulations on the blog’s first birthday, I have discovered many interesting books here.
Can’t tell you how often I’ve visited and enjoyed your reviews and views!
I’m still looking for a good contemporary novel to teach my British Lit students. It’s a three-year project and will get more serious about it during the summer.
Love the list you made and I’ll be back to peruse it, for sure.
A couple weeks ago I started a reading blog and am having fun designing it and figuring out exactly what I want it to be. So far it’s pretty basic.

Oh, please put my name in your hat! Any chance of sending a piece of that cake as well?

Very many happy returns! Please include my name, too, I love the sketch. Having a book token in hand, I’m about to peruse the Year One list for something to spend it on.
Simon–
I am so impressed by the sheer volume of reviews you’ve done in your first year! and thanks for the list. I am eager to read back posts since I am newish to your blog. I’m glad you will be rounding up all of your sketches as well. They’re wonderful! I would be thrilled to win the Bijou Prizerette. How fun!
