Book Reviews

“Hey, Leon. You often talk about the importance of book reviews. Why don’t you post your reviews?”
“I do.”
“You do?”
“I just said I did, didn’t I?”
“I haven’t seen any here.”
“I don’t post them here.”
“Where are they?”
“On my Goodreads page.”
“Oh. OK. Where’s that then?”
“I just told you.”
“Gotcha.”

I usually write something about the books I have read or at least give it a rating. Here are a sampling of some of my favorites. Reviews that is.

Read the follow up: The Zombie Survival Guide. No action, but lots of handy tips!

I’m pretty sure I had read this as a child.

I saw the movie (well, part of it) on one of the classic movie channels. I was disappointed.

I don’t think that my 2-star review will have a negative affect on Child’s book sales.

I usually read at night. I would be able to read more books if I didn’t keep falling asleep. Zzzzz…

Update: When I do newsletter swaps with other authors, I try to at least read the sample on Amazon or their sample copies, so that I’m not just copying what their book blurb says.

Sometimes, a book may not suit my tastes, but I will mention it in my newsletter because some of my subscribers may enjoy it.
