I can never seem to work in everything I want to say about a book--if I liked it, I'm just like "MUST-read, period" and if I didn't... Ok, if I didn't I can get more verbose, but that's not the point. Plus I'm picky. I'm a totalitarian fascist when it comes to grammar, I get hung up on a misplaced comma for *pages*, I despair over plot holes and missed opportunities. So... yeah, I don't do many book reviews. At least not in any official capacity. I stay away from Amazon, but I do post my thoughts (gladly, even snarkily) on Goodreads.<br /><br />I know. I'm a horrible human being.<br /><br />And all this is just to say THANK YOU for commenting on my A2Z post last week (the one about lasting relationships, tralala).
