Rainforest Pickings / Book Reviews - 2012 and prior - oldest to newest
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, occasional literary titles, writing instructions, and happenstance books - found at the library, an e-book offered free, or from the sale racks at the bookstore. The list starts with the oldest.
Hope you enjoy reading the reviews. The links below will take you to the original posts. If you have any comments, please leave them on the book review posts. Thanks for stopping by.
