The Emerald City Book Review is just about one year old, and I’ve done 100 posts! To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to look at the archives and see what have been the ten most popular posts in my first year of blogging (giveaways excluded). Perhaps unsurprisingly, they also happen to be some of my personal favorites. If you haven’t yet seen these, I hope you’ll take a look. Here they are, in order of appearance (or click here to see a handy preview all on one page):
Beautiful Books: The Dark Is Rising
