Birthday greetings to bloggers Rich Horton, and Kevin Tipple's son, and blogger emeritus Sergio Angelini!
**After two weeks' worth of mass spamming in comments, I've had to turn on comment moderation. Sorry for the potential delays, but we'll see how this goes.
This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles. Founder Patti Abbott is taking a break this week...so if I've missed yours or someone else's, please let me know in comments...

Thanks for putting things together this week.
ReplyDeleteIt was this or putting some spine and good sense into at least one Democratic and one Republican US Senator...but surely that won't be necessary...oh, wait.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gerard.
In re: spammers, I've received a sympathetic joke in response...but it sure would be nice if they'd knock off spamming blogs...or if Blogspot would actually take action against accounts (all the spam comments come from blogless Blogger members), rather than solely blogs.
ReplyDeleteUmm....actually, it is my son's birthday. First one without his Momn here. Mine is November 20th.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing something about your spammer infestation. :)
Thanks for the correction! It's been a busy day. And as good a birthday for your son as possible under the circumstances. Spammers are charming, if by charming we mean...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Todd!
ReplyDeleteTodd – Thanks for doing the FFB this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your reviews, and benisons!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the list growing, Todd, though that might mean more work for you!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have some folks I like to add atop Patti's regulars, and sometimes a few more yet, when I'm assembling the lists.
