One of the ways I become a better writer is by reviewing. I used to review a lot more, but I’ve scaled back due to writing and real life demands. One of the sites I used to review for, the terrific RAINBOW REVIEWS, has also closed to new reviews (though you can still view the

just out of curiosity, have you given any consideration to postng these over at Goodreads? I personally like to check out what authors I admire have read and liked, and a lot of those books then go on my TBR list!

That's a good question, Tracy. So far I haven't done much more with GoodReads than synch up my blog and create an author page.

The m/m branch of GLBT fiction is such a small world that the longer I operated in it, the more incestuous reviewing felt (and not in an edgy twincest way, either!). So I'm not comfortable doing ratings or new reviews over there. I might list some books I like, though. That's a thought...

I can kind of understand not wanting to do the whole rating thing; but without hitting stars, you can probably add a review. But, yeah, it'd be good if you have shelves of stuff you enjoy without ratings; I'm pretty sure I haven't bothered to rate half of what I've got on my shelves (but then, they don't have an option for "OMG It was so bad I wanted to throw my computer at the wall!"). I think I prefer the reviews to the ratings, anyway -- "I really liked it" is great, but I'd rather know WHY you liked it. So I can maybe figure out why I do or don't like it...

It´s always good to have a look to books that have been around for a while. Thank you for sharing here too the review ^_^

I agree, Helena. It's fun to revisit some books I really enjoyed, and the Chaos Magic series stands up as one of the best!
