You can call me "an old book blogger;" not because I'm old, or because I've been blogging for a long time, but because I mostly blog about old books and their authors. I do, however, post my reviews of new books I receive via Library Thing's Early Reviewers Program. You can read them on my Contemplations of MoiBibliomaniac blog, the fifth blog listed below. The old books that I blog about are catalogued here on Library Thing.
