My review of Anthony Quinn's fine novel,
Disappeared, set in Northern Ireland, was the 500th review I've published on the blog since July 2009. There's no doubt that the quality of my reading has improved since I started reviewing and I've read some wonderful books in recent years from all over the world. This, to a large degree, has been because of the book blogging community through which I pick up recommendations. My hope is that my own reviews have led to folks discovering some great writers and stories. I've recently spent a bit of time organising the reviews on the site. The tabs above provide links to
all reviews, organised by
country of setting, reviews of
Irish authors, and stories set
between 1930 and 1960 (which is a particular interest).

Your reviews have certainly help me to broaden the scope of my readings Rob. Thank you very much and congratulations.
Congratulations. It's impressive. And yes, your blog has led me to some books I wouldn't have found. I also like to read your take on those I already know.
Congratulations, Rob. I have enjoyed reading your reviews. Here's looking forward to your next 500 reviews.
Congratulations, Rob. I like your new tabs organizing the book reviews and especially the ones that separate by country and 1930's through the 1950's.
Well done Rob
Happy 500th Rob!
