Whoda thunk it, aye? One whole year ago I decided to start reviewing books on a regular basis.
So let us go back to the beginning, where it all began.
As some of you may know StoryWings started out life as a writing blog which fell over within a couple of weeks of going up. And then on the 7th of December 2009 StoryWings was reborn as a book blog so as I go through my time line I will put in a little pre-book blog part:
