META

In case anybody had noticed that, lately, This Week in LibraryBlogLand is shorter than in used to be: yes, it’s shorter, mainly because of a slight change in philosophy. Instead of striving to cover every single blog on my list (and kicking myself when I don’t), now I just cover the ones I can get to. Some weeks there are more, some weeks there are fewer. On weeks when I don’t do a complete review, I try to vary the ones I do hit. In general, I aim for complete reviews, but sometimes Life (and too many interesting posts!) get in the way. Thanks for your indulgence.
