Review Archive

When going through my entire blog history and library while re-building the site (and manually transferring all its content), I realized that I have hundreds of book reviews compiled over the last 13+ years of writing Words Like Silver from the thousands of books I've read since then—at least two thousand titles, if not more.

With that in mind, it may take some time to restore the review archive to its former glory, but I hope it'll be a helpful resource for you as you poke around and find your next favorite book. If the book you'd like to read isn't linked yet but is referenced, the search bar in the home page will take you straight to it, or you can also comb through the books page by category.

For now, I'll also link when I've referenced a book so you can explore related topics too.

Current number of book reviews live: 105.
