2005 INDEX

Hi guys!

Let me begin by wishing you all a Happy New Year!:-) 2005 was a particularly crazy year for this blog. What was only supposed to be a temporary experiment turned out to be something quite special to me. Thanks to you all!

Here is the year in numbers: The blog has attracted 18, 819 visitors from 75 different countries, who have perused a total of 34, 447 pages! This is unreal!

There has been book reviews, articles, bestseller lists, contests, etc. And hopefully we can still maintain this cadence in 2006!

Since more and more people seem to be discovering this blog of mine, I've decided to write a list of last year's book reviews. That seems to be the main reason why people lurk around here. . .;-)
