Nope. Maybe this coming weekend . . . I should just focus on the actual review books and not the non-review books. Then I can worry about the others if I want to.

I've found that posting about books we really didn't like is tough. We already had a bad experience reading the book and now we have to expend more energy explaining why. Also if the author is still living and not well known it seems mean although my author is a writer from many years ago and this particular book is considered a classic. Go figure.Kathy's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967595794483824444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-6518630033793199862021-03-30T12:53:15.196-07:002021-03-30T12:53:15.196-07:00I prefer shorter reviews, too.
