I have approximately seven months, give or take, before I hope to begin grad school (fingers crossed, everyone). I don't intend to waste this "free time" by reading without thinking and reflecting. A blog has been born.
This won't be just any blog. I have made a deal with myself and now make a deal with anyone happening through this corner of cyberspace that I will be honest here, sometimes brutally so. When I review a book, I intend to concentrate on whatever aspect of what the author had to say has captured my attention. This means that often I will not spend time on "popular" subjects and characters within any given piece and may choose to ignore them altogether. I do also promise that because of these guidelines, each entry holds true potential for being unique, hilarious, intriguing and, from time to time, haunting.
I also reserve the right to avoid reviewing books that did not interest me in slightest. I may even hint at which titles have been left in the dust.
There will be days that my words will be forgettable.
Without further fanfare, I begin "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I haven't read the Wiki... I think it's more interesting to go at a new book blindly!
