Thanks for this - I have my own book blog with a friend, but ours lacks a professional white background!

In the week it has been active. I like what is there so far and hope it continues.

Some really sharp site design, though I'll admit, I'm a sucker for anything that uses Gotham.

Looks good. My eye was drawn to the Henry James letter first (he and James must have had some great conversations), but the reviews look interesting.

So far. After three days.

With my own boeklog, that is in its fifth year, and has almost 1250 reviews, I've discovered its not the daily activity that counts, really. It's the ease of use for new visitors, and the problem that the richness of the archives has to presented in several ways.

Hardly any website is good at that.
