Reviews
I’m an opinionated person. I’m also pretty talkative. Those two facts combined means that reviews are always going to be a feature on this site.
I review a lot of books. I also review gadgets, clothing, software, apps – you name it, I will probably write a post reviewing it!
In the interest of keeping my site running fast, I am keeping this page streamlined to a few reviews. Please click on “load more” at the bottom for more posts, and/or use the search feature on the top right hand corner to find something you are specifically looking for.
