To those of you who have stumbled upon this blog, thanks for taking a minute to read the words I'm writing.
I am new to the process of book reviews so I ask you to forgive me for any amateur mistakes and writing, especially when I am first starting off.
A little bit about me, I am a junior attending a small liberal arts college on the East Coast. I am still debating about what I am majoring in. It will be either English or Liberal Arts. My favorite class I am taking right now is an in-depth study on the novels of Jane Austen. I am hoping to graduate in two years and well...we'll see where life will go from there.
What qualifies me to do book-reviews and pretend to be an arbiter of taste? Well, I have been reading everything and anything I can get my hands on since I was little. I have read just about every basic plot known to mankind and I have through my readings discovered what works and what doesn't. I also was a manager at an independent bookstore for 3 years. This let me get the inside view on the business side of books - knowing which publishers specialize in which genres. My job also gave me a view on what a majority of the country's book-clubs were reading. I know what is popular and why.
Well thanks for reading my ramblings. If you have any for books to review just leave a comment and I will get to it as soon as I can.
I may not be able to read every good book in the world...but I intend to die trying!

I have a very important question for you: have you read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell?
ReplyDeleteNot yet, though as soon as May term finishes up I will have a lot more time so I will put it on the list.
ReplyDeleteYou should put it on the top of the list. It is that good. Have you read the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik?
