All my reviews will take this format, so I should explain how it will work.
Title: Self-explanatory.
Author: Ditto.
Genre: My genres are usually fairly specific.
Plot: My rating, out of 5 stars.
Writing: Ditto.
Re-Read? Yes or no. An asterisk indicates this is, or will become, one of my favorite books.
Quote: Something wise that sticks with me, or something funny. I'm a great bottom-corner folder, so trust me, this space will be filled.
Summary: This will be brief, no more than 50 words.
Review: My thoughts, likes, dislikes, etc. on this book. This may (and likely will be) biased, but that's why I'm writing these reviews here and not on Amazon or B&N.
And a few miscellaneous thoughts and considerations:
1. (Hopefully) all books I read, no matter what genre, or even if I don't finish them, will be reviewed.
2. I'm particularly judgmental about characters. I want friends to talk to, people to fall in love with, and enemies to hate. And I expect to find them in my favorite books.
3. I read over a wide age range. My wonderful parents don't have rules, and I'll pick my stacks from the Beginning Readers' piles if it looks good, and I have no qualms about venturing into adult fiction.
4. I want to say upfront that I have not read, and I do not intend to, the Hunger Games. I just don't find dystopic fiction any good.
5. I'd be glad to hear any book suggestions.
6. Not all posts will be reviews. This will also serve a traditional blog.
Alright, I think that's it.
