Reviews
Okay, I'm going to HAVE to sit down...well, I am already...sit down more comfortably and write reviews for two books I've read. Here pretty soon.
Orphan #8 by Kim van Alkemade. Which I kind of liked. That isn't a review, just a comment. We'll get into my perspective of the writing, the characters, and the plot soon (I hope). Right here.
The other is Pierce Brown's "Red Rising", which, pre-review, I had to grit my teeth to finish. I'll tell you why later.
I've been visiting a blog for several weeks now. The blogger, Evelina (http://avalinahsbooks.space/), reads and reviews, my God, literally dozens of books each month! I mean, when does the girl find time to sleep? But, her reviews are so enjoyable; often times laugh-out-loud funny. She gets a lot of comments. I know why. I'm often tempted to reply, but inasmuch as she SO kindly accepted my request for a review of "The Redemption Of Marvin Fuster", I hesitate.
Actually, I'm sitting on pins and needles...not particularly more comfortably...waiting for the day her review hits the newsstands. As Marvin would say, "Hail Mary, fulla' grace..."
Other than that, I'm working in fits and starts on the second book of my planned trilogy, "Dreams of Shadows." Trish says ALWAYS put the punctuation mark INSIDE the ending quotation mark. That's so hard for me.
But Dreams of Shadows-2. I get stuck. Same thing happened in Book 2 of "Rising". "Rising." "Yeah? What happens next?" Must get back to "Dreams" and figure it out. Jim Warren instructed the class way back when to PLOT THE BOOK beforehand. I did that with Marvin, and I did it with "One Year On Meade Street". Finished the first drafts in only a few months!
I've gotten lazy.
