I Take it Back ...

... I really haven't read anything worse than this new review book. Well, maybe once; there was one book I had to review for VOYA that I really couldn't enjoy (although I seem to be the only reviewer who disliked it), but this new book is terrible. Though of course I have to read it. Sigh.

And I've got a long way to go ...

I really should be reading the book, not blogging. Off I go.

...

Okay, now I really will.


...

No, I mean it.

...

Rrrrrrrrgh.

Some Book Reviews

Yesterday my copy of Voice of Youth Advocates arrived in the mail. This month's issue included two of my reviews; one is for The Mystery of the Third Lucretia (which I loved), and the other is for The Game of My Life (also a wonderful read). Unfortunately I was highly displeased with the latter review, but I knew when I finished writing it that it was probably the worst I had ever written (except, perhaps, for the very first, which was for The Grail Quest: The Shadow Companion, when I was so rushed I hardly stopped to think of the fact that the last two sentences should have been joined). Maybe I had trouble because it was the first nonfiction book I'd had to review.

And the review for Lucretia has a misprint, but oh well ...

The book I'm currently reading for the magazine is quite disturbing. It's about hunting and the descriptions are freaky. But I've read worse ...
