Trials of Being a Bookwyrm
1. Reviewing Your Favorite books
Is it just me, or is it way easier to write a salty review than a fangirly one? When a book doesn’t meet my expectations, I can talk to you for paragraph upon PARAGRAPH about all the reasons why.
Yet when I deeply LOVE a book? I find it hard to do it justice in a review. I want to explain my affinity for the characters and the way the plot hangs together perfectly and how the themes shine through in precisely the right moments, but it would be easier to just shove the book in your face and demand you go read it for yourself.
