All About Review Revue (Part II)

I'm starting with three categories: books, movies, and music. I hope to expand once I get these pages in good shape.

In each category, I provide links to the main pages for free reviews of new offerings (recently published books, movies currently in theaters, recently released albums), as well as to other lists of links. "Free" includes free after registration. Perhaps I'll include links to subscription sites at some point.

I'm from the United States, and have focused on American sites. However, I've included some Canadian and British sites, and would like to expand coverage to other primarily English-speaking countries. If I'm ambitious, I'll create pages for German and French sites. (I'd probably need to find someone who can translate other languages, if this turns into a major project.)

I won't get into the details of my research techniques or selection criteria. Suffice it to say that I have more work to do.

I've left out Amazon and Barnes & Noble for the moment, since they don't contain hubs for reviews. Perhaps I'll include these sites in a future version, since they're good resources. And while I'm at it, I'll consider Epinions and the like. (Linking from the blog is a start, I suppose.)

I haven't included annotations yet, except for short bracketed notes on some entries.

I've arranged the sites alphabetically. Perhaps I'll decide upon another organizing principle, but alphabetical order strikes me as a good default choice.

No color, no images, no JavaScript, for now. I think the site looks nice in its unadorned state. Plus, it loads quickly.
