Conlanging Books Reviews

I've elected to include books I use as conlanging resources that are primarily for conworld inspiration as well, given their meaty overlooks of different languages for conlangers to peruse for inspiration.

To Do List:

• Transfer review write ups from personal review journal,
• Browse my personal reading history for other books to review,
• Etc
