Feature & Follow #60

Image
Feature & Follow is a weekly post hosted by  Parakunkee  and  Alison Can Read . "The goal is to increase followers and make new friends." The Rules: Follow the 2 hosts. Follow the 2 features (new each week). Hop around and follow others that are participating, leaving a comment to let them know. Answer this week's question in your own blog post. This week's question: How do you write your reviews? I don't have any set complicated method to writing my reviews. I write them pretty much immediately after I've finished reading the book because I am likely to forget details and my initial thoughts, reactions and feelings if I wait more than a day. I go with my gut instinct when it comes to my final rating. I try to be honest about what I did and didn't like. So yeah, that pretty much sums up how I write my reviews. What about you? Do you have a method? I'm curious to see the various ways others interpreted this question....

He’s going to win her heart, or die trying. *** Special note from the author: This short story is narrated solely from Cal Remus’ point of view, and it depicts the events leading up to the introduction of ‘The Calling.’ That is; the events that pr...
