Gushing
I’m currently making a concerted effort to catch up on my reading, which means I’m trying to get one or two books read a week. I’ll probably burn out soon but until I do I’m quite enjoying it.
I’ve stuck up a list of books on the right so you can see at a glance what I’m reading, what I’ve read, what I’m going to read and what I just couldn’t finish.
I’m also offering a few words of review too and why not. Reviewing is quite challenging. It’s hard not to spoil the plot and without revealing some of story you can’t always explore the book in full. But I quite like sharing my thoughts on what I’ve read and I hope you enjoy reading them. And practice makes perfect.
A good review should take into account what the writer was trying to achieve and how well they achieve it and luckily the ones that I’ve read recently are good examples of their genres hence all the gushing. I genuinely have enjoyed what I’ve read.
The only one that I didn’t was The Wanderer’s Tale, and that was because the style of the writing didn’t allow me in and as I didn’t finish it I haven’t said much about it.
Look for more reviews of the good, the bad and the ugly soon (as long as I’ve managed to finish them – life is too short to force yourself to finish a bad book when there are so many good ones out there.)
[...] I’m a bit a of a cheerleader I admit. I do tend to gush, and I’ve written about that before. But then I think that I’m giving readers of this blog a better idea of what a book is about [...]
