I read alot. It is a wonderful aspect of my job. However, am not able to write reviews almost 75% of the books I read. Enter Trevin “the reviewinator” Wax. Here is an impressive piece he posted at the end of 2008.
Frequent readers of Kingdom People know that I read and review a lot of books (I average 2 a week). In 2008, I reached my goal of reading 100 books, 74 of which I also reviewed on this blog.
