Only just found this thread! I too am a voracious reader. My Goodread challenge was met last week-161 books. I read mainly crime thrillers , a lot of which I download ( prepublication!) from NetGalley. I then post a review. I’m currently reading Bloodied Waters by Raymond Hugh. My OH met the author , told him of my reading habits and bought two of his novels. Unfortunately, the author self publishes so Bloodied Waters is full of mistakes - incorrect spelling, typos and bad grammar. My OH did say that I would be critical and surprisingly the author welcomed it. I trained people in business writing skills for 25 years and have always wanted to get into proof reading. Raymond remarked that he had proof read this novel nine times before publishing. He had become blind to his mistakes. Who knows , maybe I will have a new career in my retirement! Happy reading folks!
as per my introduction, it's entirely up to the individual to post how they wish but in the spirit of the original thread set up by MN, participants usually keep a running tally of books, so come back to the thread whenever you wish, intermittently or fairly regularly, again up to you, with for example books no. 2, 3, 4, or one at a time, with a brief or more detailed synopsis, whether you would recommend it, or not. I used to do mine by the month, but that was a bit of a mistake because sometimes, if the book hadn't made a great impression, I'd forget pretty quickly. We often get discussions going on what we're reading, interjecting with comments if we have read it, liked it or not, or perhaps to say if it is one on my to read list. What you read is entirely up to you, anything really, nothing is preordained, but as you will see, often posters take inspiration from recommendations.Sometimes it’s just the small things that press the bruise isn’t it? 😢
