Ground Rules....

Okay, I'm not just "technically" finished -- I'm finished! Biographical and bibliographical notes and all! So while I mull over what I think of this book -- a few blog ground rules:


1. Okay, you already know this, but I'm no pro! So my reviews will be as much about how I felt about the book as whether or not I thought the book was well written, or so derivative, or not the author's best work or yada, yada, yada -- you get the idea! If you're craving that kind of thing - I've placed a link to the NY Times book review page under Links to the left. Just remember - you gotta register!


2. When ever possible, I will place a pic of the book I'm reviewing, whether I thought it was good or bad, in the review. Personally, I always like to see what the book looks like -- just in case I decide I would like to read it, I know what I'm looking for!

Full Disclosure: Most of the time it will be an affiliate link image to Amazon -- my favorite online book store! But in the interest of fairness, I will have links to other online booksellers as well under my Links section. If the bookseller has an affiliate program, it will be an affiliate link. If not it will just be an old-fashioned url link. Yeah I know, how retro but what can you do? ; - ) Feel free to let me know via comments, if you have a favorite bookstore (online or not) that has a website. I'll check it out and try to add it to my Links section. I have to say that I do favor sites I have actually had successful dealings with.

3. I won't just be bloggin' 'bout books. If I come across an interesting magazine or newspaper article that I think is worth mentioning, it will appear here!

4. To repeat -- I'm not a pro, this is not a job! So my post will be occasional at best. I'll try to be timely with my reviews -- but hey, as an instructor of mine once stated "Life happens!" ; - )

Well I think that about does it! Let the fun begin! ; - )
