Yay! I finally ordered the second part of the As the World Dies trilogy!
It'll be fun to read that, once it comes up in my TBR list pile. Right now I have to read The Stolen One, but I've been busy with doctors', dentists' and vets' appointments, and so on that I haven't had a chance to devote the time I need to really read through it.
I've printed out a few how-to articles on how to review a book, but they seem mostly angled for kids in college turning a paper in to a professor. But the principles are the same, at least.
In the meantime, I dragged my copy of Sink Reflections off of the bookshelf to review the principles in that book (I am a born messy, and drive the Guy NUTS because I just don't see the same mess he does when he comes home.)
I also reread a Jack McDevitt book that I can't seem to shake, mostly because of its perspective and because the main mover and shaker in the novel is a woman explorer/silversmith. The book is Eternity Road. It's a lot of fun.

Try How to write a music review into Google. Heaven knows I wouldn't know how to write a music review if I tried. I've got NO frame of reference, and it's not "my thing". I suspect some of the principles behind writing a music and a book review are the same, but a lot might be different.
