2014 FFB Review Roundup

Fridays mean Friday’s Forgotten Books hosted by Patti Abbott. While it is a new year, I thought today a look back was worth doing. Below, organized by the month, you will find the FFB Reviews that Barry, Patrick, and I did over the course of last year. The list does not include the numerous links to FFB things at the blogs of Randy Johnson, Bill Crider, and others. So, grab a beverage and whatever you use to make a reading list and start working on your reading plan for 2015……

  4. Oops. Found it. I was looking for 'Tipple' instead of 'Corner.'

  5. lol....I probably should have named the blog something slightly different as --after I started--a TV station in Wisconsin used the same name as did a band and a couple of others things. After ten years I am not changing it now.

    And thank you for hunting and voting for it.
