Lora's Rants and Reviews

My own unapologetic opinions on books and writing. I DO NOT accept review requests but only review books I choose to read and I don't post reviews on Amazon. I'm also persnickity about genre and plot.

— feeling shocked

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had gone a little Taz on Netgalley. I'm slowly working my way through the books, reading them mainly in order of archive date. There's some pretty interesting stuff actually. I didn't just choose them all at random, but carefully considered each one.

 

After today's posted review, I have 13 more to go to clear the list. That is unless I find something and add to it, though I'm trying not to look. I've done the cookbooks first because they don't take as long.

 

I'm looking forward to reading all of these, I just don't like the pressure of feeling I have to get to them soon and review them. This is supposed to be fun!
