About

Reading without incorporating the words is empty consumption. Writing book reviews is a way to recall what I have learned and share the books that stand out. Like my Hershele, I hope you’ll sink your teeth into a book.

How can you say no?

I used to say that writing book reviews was my discipline, but a better word for an activity that structures your life is devotion. It’s my pleasure to share that devotion with you.

I previously put my book reviews on Goodreads, but have been looking for a non-Amazon alternative for a while. There are many social book review site, but none of them have the full set of features I wanted.

Which is why I made my own. Site Repo CLI tool for building reviews. And as an AI professional who knows nothing about web dev, I used Claude for the code, but every bit of content is 100% human generated.

I’m interested in your thoughts. I’m available on Bluesky and as mburnamfink and mburnamfink at gmail dot com.
