What a good idea. It was fun to be reminded of all the stories I had totally forgotten about. You have really covered some ground this year!
So, in addition to this being a great look back on the year of bravelittlebooks, this was also an excellent testimony to your video editing skills and how good you’ve become at not only reviewing the books, but filming your reviews of the books. Nicely compiled! I would agree with your word cloud – apocalypse themes jump out to me as a major theme of this year. I think there’s a lot of questions and thoughts about meaning, frequently on a broad scale as your review highlighted. Meanings of language, meanings of humanity and what it means to be a person in the world today. Thanks for sharing all these books over the past year! Looking forward to 2013!
Thanks, Kaija! So am I!!
