Attack. Of.... the book review!!!

So... what's up with the sudden focus on book reviews?

Well, first of all, a writer - especially a developing one - should read frequently to help develop voice, style, structure, etc. Practice through example and all that.

Secondly, It's time for the Debut a Debut contest!!! I'm going to be reading and writing reviews! Not that I get any of the prizes... but Susan and I started this contest because we love to read and we especially love debut authors.

Check back later for a new book review!

Also, I'll be a guest blogger over on the Writer's Block today.
