After a lot of soul searching, on what is, I'm very aware, a small point of friction in the general clusterfuck that is the world these days, there are some countries whose books I am not comfortable in blanket acknowledging. Which is grotesquely unfair for authors who are actively part of the resistance. So I'm leaving a lot of books from failed, failing or warmongering countries unpublished on this site for the time being, until I see clear signs that the author's are as pissed off with the situation as I am. Anything that has already been reviewed will probably stay online, but other authors may find their books only appearing in the event that I am comfortable in providing acknowledgement.
