Book Reviews: How Does a Body Go About Writing and Leaving One, Anyway?
I've mentioned how much I appreciate and admire reviewers. It's so easy for me to read a book or use a product, enjoy it but say nothing of my experience to others. Reviewers are in the trenches, sharing their thoughts with the world. Now, I'm not a professional reviewer. I rarely write reviews for Amazon,… Continue reading Book Reviews: How Does a Body Go About Writing and Leaving One, Anyway?
Researching Books: Tough, Honest Work–and I’m Ready for the Challenge!
