Dave and I took huge joy in creating Kingdom Books, first as a specialty bookshop (mysteries, poetry, Vermontiana) and then as a review blog. Dave's been gone four years, and I miss him all the time, but ... things must move forward, not back.
Effective today, since I'm reviewing at the New York Journal of Books and Historical Novels Review, I won't be posting more on this blog. But I'll leave it in place so you can search past reviews.
As of 5:30 pm (Eastern), this blog racked up incredible numbers of page views (see below), and that's because of YOU. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteJeff, thanks for getting in touch -- I am very pleased to keep the blog as an archive and truly honored to know you've kept an eye on it. Readers who haven't seen your work yet can look here: http://therapsheet.blogspot.com Watch also for some new ways I'll be commenting on books, especially on my writing blog https://bethkanell.blogspot.com -- what I anticipate is a lot of short comments and some longer thoughtful pieces that may include multiple titles. Change can be good!
