Recounting my book reviews: 54 in total -- Comment()
Earlier, I invited Finnish readers to review books. I had posted here 51 book reviews (written in Finnish by me). This morning I noticed that one issue of the reviews had escaped my notice. I posted three more reviews, bringing the total to 54 reviews. All the reviews are licensed under a Creative Commons License.
