Yesterday I was looking at the Pen/Hemingway foundation winners from previous years. This got either an honorable mention or was a finalist for the year it was written, which made me add it back to my TBR (library only.) I'm getting old, so the idea of romance in elder years sounds like a hopeful message I could use.
It was good - my review of it wasn't. I was cooking dinner last night and burned my thumb, first and second finger reaching for a pan, so I was trying to type this out while holding an aloe vera leaf pinched between the burned digits. :D
(If I don't review right after I finish, I forget too much, else I would have waited.)
It is a good enough review for me. I'm going to run through a bunch of books from this year and write "liked it" or 'didn't like it" soon just so I can remember at least that much a year from now. Problem is I'd always rather be reading than reviewing. (Also, I have a harder time reviewing books I really liked than those I really disliked.) Oh well - feel better thumb!
I find writing the review serves as a palate cleanser for me; help me clear my head of the 'old' book before picking up the 'new' one. Have you ever read two books back to back and find settings and/or voices conflate?
All three fingers are feeling tons better, thanks. I think the Aloe Vera and then bandaging them up with some bee propolis did the trick most admirably. :)
