btw, I just read a very interesting blog post at MotherReader about full disclosure on book blogs. So I will now tell you that in the above post, the titles are all linked to Amazon affiliate listings for the books. I did this because it gave me one central place to look up this long list of titles, and because not every publisher had a nice listing for its books (some were very plain, without even a book jacket image). However, I have mixed feelings about it, because I don't want you to think I am selling out or anything. Also, maybe I should check into IndieBound as an alternative to Amazon. Your thoughts?
