John Hill started blogging about buildings back in 1999, providing a regularly-updated single-author architecture blog for longer than anyone else I'm aware of, and I've been around the block a few times since starting Archinect in 1997. As 2019 kicks off, it looks like John is pivoting from buildings to books, as evidenced in the new format and title of his blog, "A Daily Dose of Architecture Books".
The new blog replaces his two previous blogs, "A Daily Dose of Architecture" (2004-2018) and "A Weekly Dose of Architecture" (1999-2014). The new blog will feature a book review every day, in a rigid structure consisting of title, author, publisher, date, cover image, publication details, publisher description, photos of page spreads, author bio, referral links, and commentary about the book by the author.
To source, read, vet and review a book every day, even if it's rather brief, as it tends to be with his first few reviews, is quite an impressive feat. Hopefully he'll keep this up, as it's bound to bring more well-deserved awareness to the number of excellent print titles that continue to be published.
