Just to Clarify
I do read more than one book a month. I’ll sometimes read five a week. Right now, when I’m bogged down in revisions on my own manuscript, I’m limiting myself to junky-fix reads (The Dream Thief **squee**), but my consumption is never less than one book a week.
You’ve seen only three “reviews” from me in the past couple of months because if the best I can say about a book is “it didn’t suck,” it’s not worth taking the time to write about it. I read more than a few that do suck. (Occasional disappointment is a fact of life—despite the encompassing magnificence of Peanut M&Ms, you still sometimes get one that tastes like a dirty sock.) Most books I read qualify as satisfying entertainment but aren’t stellar enough to recommend without reservation.
If a book shows up here, rest assured it’s because I love it, wish I’d written it, and am panting for more.
Sometimes I’ll skip “reviewing” even a great book because you probably found your way here through a romance-related site, and while I have faith that the majority of romance readers read far more widely than “their own” genre, those who would appreciate a fabulously written gory serial killer thriller, for example, seem to be a minority. Everything good, regardless of subject matter, makes it to the sidebar under “The magnificent seven,” but unless there’s something I think can appeal to a fairly wide range of readers or I’m SUPER EXCITED about it and just can’t contain myself, I’m not doing in-depth plugging.
I will be plugging the hell out of The Dream Thief sometime in the next week.
