A blog of book reviews, by 'Til

'Til I write my own novel, I'll read the work of others and write my thoughts here. . . for research.

not quite the New York Times

since the permanent hiatus of the friolitas i've decided the continue with my own book reviews. i am starting with what i've read since february. let's call it a book club of one aka the friolita solita. i am doing this for a number of reasons. #1. for my own entertainment and love of reading #2. so that i can better remember what i've read. many times i will buy a new book forgetting that i've already read it. until i read page one and i have a cripes moment. #3. against all recommendations, i DO judge a book by its cover. most of the time i'm right on, but. . . i've been wrong. i'll admit it. i'd like to save others from this mistake by imposing my recommendations on whomever will let me.


so, i'm not technically qualified to review books, but for entertainment purposes; go with me on this one.


Reviews Soon to Come:
