Last week I was rambling about the ebb and flow of review copies, and this week helps to prove my point: it's almost entirely comics/manga, led by the big monthly box from Yen Press. As usual, I post these lists on Monday mornings because I know I won't manage to review every book I see, but I ...
Reviewing the Mail: Week of 9/27
antickmusings.blogspot.com 9/30/2008 — Since I review books -- whatever I feel like here and various graphic novels and manga for ComicMix -- I get books to review in the mail. (It's what they call a virtuous circle.) But I do feel a bit guilty, since there's no way I could review ...
Reviewing the Mail: Week of 8/23
antickmusings.blogspot.com 8/26/2008 — This is a weekly post: it goes up early every Monday morning and lists the books that I received the week before for review or notice (and, sometimes, books that I got in other ways, if I want to call attention to them). I haven't reviewed any of ...

antickmusings.blogspot.com 10/16/2009 — See the earlier post this morning for all of the weekly introductory fluff; this post contains thoughts and notes on the review books I received last week that aren't being published by Yen Press. And so I'll dive right in: There's a new edition of ...
Reviewing the Mail: Week of 9/12
antickmusings.blogspot.com 9/15/2009 — In case you've missed this before: every Monday morning, I post a list (with comments) of the books I saw for review the previous week. Since even a minor blogger like me can get a dozen or more books a week, and I can't read a dozen books a week, ...
