So, I've Started Reviewing Books...

Yeah, I know.  A lot of you have been doing this for years.  But, while I've been reviewed myself plenty of times, I've never had the confidence to publicly critique another author's work.  As of the past week, that's changed.

I read A LOT, and so I have a whole library of books in my head about which I have strong opinions, either positive or negative.  So, each morning, I've started logging into Goodreads and reviewing one of them, more or less at random.

This morning, I submitted a review of "Hunger," by Jackie Morse Kessler.  This short but wonderful novel isn't new.  Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt back in 2010, it's the first in a series of four YA fantasies that center around teenagers who find each find themselves declared one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  As I point out in the review, Jackie and I are very old friends, and I first read this fine book when it was originally published.  I loved it then and I love it now.  The only thing that's changed is that this time I've written a review.  Here it is, by the way: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2852865891.

I going to be completely honest here, folks.  These reviews are part of a promotional "new leaf" that I'm trying to turn over now that I'm launching into the new and somewhat intimidating world of self-publication.  It's only one leg of a many-legged stool, upon which I'm hoping to eventually launched "Dragons."  I don't know what'll come of it.

But, that said, I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.  Reviewing, I mean.  Old dog, new trick.  Who says you can't teach us?

I, too, just started reviewing books. Well, I am not as good as you are, but I am hoping that I can learn from you. I do not want to make this my career, to me, this is just a hobby. Of course, I am not saying that you should not, I am just saying that I do not see this as a permanent job. I hope that you did not get offended by any of the remarks that I made.
