This year I have ordered eleven books in the Discworld series simply because I enjoyed reading three from the Terry Pratchett oeuvre in December. I just know I will like them. It is still refreshing for me to discover new authors, whether well known…
Thanks for reading. I noticed you are a Pratchett fan. I should have a review of A. Lee Martinez's Monster up tomorrow which will probably be up your alley.
That's a good approach and it has a lot of integrity about it! I do question the hype myself. Often the community will lazily pick up the praise and just repeat or regurgitate it and that reinforces it but adds nothing to the body of criticism about the work. So it is good to get that fresh and upfront opinion, Yetikeeper!
Do like those reviews. Nothing if not forthright! But you are even-handed. I've seen you slate the same author in one breath then praise to the skies another of their books at the next. Refreshingly honest, there! (I had originally typed 'honset'!)
