(Playing catch-up! Now to post a few thoughts while they are relatively fresh! That may take a little while, though.)

I read "A Walk Through Memory Palace" earlier this year (but you know that!) and would love to hear what you think. Also would be good to hear your opinion of Dave Bonta's book. One of the poems from "Ode to Tools" was on Verse Daily a few days ago.

Thanks for the nudge, Sarah. I'm way behind in my reviews, so setting a few priorities is a Good Idea. I'll start with Dave's.

It's not so easy, I know! I have managed to do 10 reviews by now so I'm on track but I admit it was an investment of time and thought and all that. But that was what I wanted to do. Anyway, don't worry, and I wouldn't "nudge!" I just noticed a couple titles on your list that I was interested in, too.
