About
I started book-blog.com a long time ago, in 2003, when blogging was young and the internet was nicer. Over the years, other online projects of mine have run their course, but I've kept this site up—although the hosting venue has changed. After launching on Blogger, I moved to Typepad, and in 2025 came to Ghost. (As I write, I'm in the middle of this last transition. I'm in the process of moving all of my old posts over.)

Blog Stats
In the early days, I wrote longish reviews and rated books on a scale of 1-5 stars. In 2012, with only a handful of exceptions, I instead began posting shorter "book notices," without ratings. Posts are labeled as reviews or notices in the footer and are numbered.
