I like the idea of taking a look at what I’ve been blogging about all year. And because I ended up settling into a thematically-organized schedule, it makes sense to do the review in similar chunks. So this week (in addition to other stuff) I’ll be doing a look-back for each particular day’s theme.

In 2015, it looks like I have 111 posts tagged “LHMP”, covering 36 individual publications (books or articles) as well as a number of meta-posts. I took a break from posting new material in the middle of the year in order to focus on the new novel, but returned to a once-a-week schedule after spending a while updating link-groupings and collecting keywords for future indexing.

Here are the publications I covered in 2015, in order of coverage, rather than bibliography order. To locate specific write-ups, see the cumulative index:
