  1. Great list! Yes, this week’s topic is so nostalgic! It’s really fun seeing the differences and similarities between what I read then and what I read now.

  2. So, these titles pique my interest! My list was a trip down memory lane, though I wasn’t too impressed with my reviewing back then!

    • Poinsettia says

      If you get a chance to read some of these, you’ll have to let me know what you think!

      Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  3. It was really interesting rediscovering these books from your past. Looks like you enjoyed Colleen Love and Beth Trissel.

    • Poinsettia says

      Beth Trissel is wonderful! I’ve read several of her books and always enjoyed them.

      Thanks for visiting. 🙂

  4. Wow, 10 years!!! That’s really awesome. I’m not a big romance reader– it’s just not my jam. But it’s so fun to see what people were reading back in the day.

    • Poinsettia says

      I have pretty diverse interests as far as reading is concerned, but as I said, LASR was mainly a romance review site back in the day. I had fun discovering my preferences as far as the romance genre is concerned, and I’ve loved being a part of this site for so long.

      Thank you for visiting. 🙂

  5. I thought that this prompt was a good trip down memory lane too! 🙂 Excellent list!

    • Poinsettia says

      Thank you! I would have posted links to my old reviews, but they aren’t up on the site any more. We’ve been around for a while and our website has gone through several changes.

      Thanks for visiting. 🙂

  6. Things have changed for a lot of us, my blog is new but I’ve been reviewing on other platforms since 2003! I think it’s a nice insight into who you were and how your thinking was when you look back.

    • Poinsettia says

      Definitely! That’s great that you’ve been reviewing for so long. I would have posted links to my old reviews but they aren’t up on the site any more. We’ve been around for a while here at LASR.

      Thank you for stopping by! 🙂

  7. I really am loving all these old reviews. I would’ve probably never read them otherwise. This week’s prompt is great and should be revived every so often!

  8. That bit about 10 whole years of reviewing struck me, but then I did the math and realized I’ve been reviewing for just over 7 years myself–which, okay. It didn’t feel like it was that long?

    • Poinsettia says

      It really doesn’t feel that long, does it?! Time flies when you’re reading good books. 🙂

      Thank you for visiting. 🙂

  9. This was a rather fun prompt…even if it terrified me to my very core looking at these reviews again! Lol.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT post!

    • Poinsettia says

      You’re welcome! Yes, several people have expressed fear concerning their first reviews. My first reviews aren’t up on the site any more or I would have posted links to them.

      Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  10. Some really fun ones. I’m enjoying seeing all the early reviews from people!

    • Poinsettia says

      Me too! Plus, it will be nice if some of these older books get some renewed interest!

      Thank you for stopping by!

  11. This is so fun, to see what everyone was reviewing early on! I guess for me it’s been almost six years? Maybe a smidgen more. Hard to believe!

    • Poinsettia says

      I can’t believe it has been so long either! Time flies when there are so many good books to read. 🙂

      Thank you for visiting. 🙂

  12. I hadn’t thought about a lot of the books on my list for so long either! All yours are new to me!

    • Poinsettia says

      I hope you get a chance to check out any the pique your interest. One of the benefits of this topic is that it might generate some interest for some of these older books.

      Thank you for visiting and commenting.

  13. Can’t say that I’m familiar with any of these, but that’s one of the great things about books – there are so many out there to appeal to diverse interests.

    Visiting from TTT

    • Poinsettia says

      Yep, my tbr grows every week when I visit TTT posts. 🙂 I hope that some of these older books get some love this week.

      Thank you for stopping by! 🙂

  14. I felt the same way about marching down the memory lane with this assignment. I am pretty embarrassed at how poor my first few reviews were. Thanks for dropping by my blog.

    • Poinsettia says

      Yes, several people have expressed embarrassment at reading their first reviews. I think it is all just part of the growing process. 🙂 I would have posted links to my first reviews, but they aren’t up any more. The LASR site has gone through several changes since it first went up.

      Thank you for visiting. 🙂

  15. It was fun to look through my past reviews. Even though some of them were cringeworthy.

    • Poinsettia says

      It was definitely fun to look back at some of these books. Unfortunately, my reviews for them aren’t up any more. I’m hoping this week will generate some love for these older books. Thank you for visiting. 🙂

  16. I agree about enjoying this trip down memory lane. It’s fun to go back and see how some blogs began as something completely different from what they are now.

  17. I have been reviewing for almost two years now! I have never read these books, but a few definitely interest me. I will add them to my list.

    • Poinsettia says

      You’ll have to let me know what you think if you get a chance to read them!

      Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  18. It was a great trip down memory lane 🙂

  19. My first reviews were done for Epinions.com. Which means a long time ago, LOL. I haven’t read any of these.

    • Poinsettia says

      If you get a chance to check any of them out, you’ll have to let me know what you think. Thanks for dropping by! 🙂

  20. If you get to it- I really enjoyed this Mortal Coil.

    • Poinsettia says

      While I don’t remember all the details, I remember Mortal Coil being a good romantic suspense. Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  21. It’s really interesting that the type of books you review has changed over the years. I’m glad you enjoyed looking back on them.

  22. Ten years? Wow! you’re a blogging whiz now! I’ve only started blogging not even a year ago. I’m so amazed at you having enjoyed blogging for such a long time. God knows where I will be in ten years!

    • Poinsettia says

      I can hardly believe it has been ten years. Being part of Long and Short Reviews has been a lot of fun. We have some great reviewers here. Plus, time flies when there are so many good books to read!

      Thanks for visiting. 🙂

  23. I’ve only been reviewing for about seven years (but I didn’t do much reviewing for about a year and a half). I’m impressed by your ten years of reviewing! I haven’t read any of these books, but I hope you enjoyed your trip down memory lane!

  24. I’ve read none of these! Thanks for sharing.

    • Poinsettia says

      You’re welcome! If you decide to give some of these a try, you’ll have to let me know what you think. If you enjoy historical romance, I highly recommend Beth Trissel. I still seek out her books when they come up for review.

      Thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂

  25. It was fun this week to go back and look at old reviews and see how much tastes and review styles have changed over the years.

  26. Interesting to see a Molly Ringle book! I read her The Goblins of Bellwater last year so her name stood out to me right away. It seems like she’s written so many different things.

    • Poinsettia says

      I really enjoyed The Ghost Downstairs, but for some reason I never read anything else by her. I’ll have to change that! Thank you for visiting and commenting. 🙂
