I call it efficiency 

9/10/2014

I did a big, long, insightful post on The Art of Procrastination yesterday, and I seriously don’t have another one of those in me yet. So yeah, take what you can get you greedy content-wanting people.

Full disclosure, I borrowed this from G4. Click on the picture to see where.
So I give you 5 reasons I suck at book reviews:
1-- I can be critical of literally anything. Really. It doesn’t mean I don’t like the thing, or I don’t see all the things right with the thing. But when I sit down to talk about it, what spills out is some version of ‘It had so much potential!’
2-- I’ve never met a reading schedule I liked. When I want to read, I read. A lot. Until my eyes are about to roll out of my head and my brain is fuzzy.
3-- I’m very very bad at finishing books I don’t like. Sometimes I’m even bad at finishing books I do like. 
4-- I like exceedingly strange things. It's not a question of 'your mileage may vary,' there's at-least an eighty-percent chance it will.
5-- I worry way too much that I'm over-promising the thing I love, and then you won't love it. And then I'll have to judge you (I'll try not to, but it was so wonderful what is wrong with you).


That sort of fits with Well Written Wednesday, right?

    There's a link to my bio at the top of the page, but for these purposes it's probably best to just say I'm strange.
