DG's Book Reviews 2013
Books reviewed on this blog come from my TBR stack or my personal library. Science Fiction and Mystery/Suspense are the usual fare, with a mix of books about Paris, some literary titles, writing instructions, and 'happenstance' books - found at the library, e-books offered as review copies, or discounts gleaned from the sale racks at the bookstore. I also include fantasy and some paranormal.
This year the reviews are in Most Recent to Oldest (descending order). Links go to my review posts. Thanks for stopping by.
Note: Book Covers released in different countries may vary from those shown in this post.
