Reviewing the Mail: Week of 9/12
—
In case you've missed this before: every Monday morning, I post a list (with comments) of the books I saw for review the previous week. Since even a minor blogger like me can get a dozen or more books a week, and I can't read a dozen books a week, simple math shows that I'm not going to be ...

Three Weeks to Mermaid!
Jim C. Hines — ... • Balancing this out, Andrew Wheeler glanced at a copy of Mermaid and warns readers to “Expect a lot of singing Motown into shampoo bottles, or whatever the fantasy-novel equivalent of the ‘girls bonding montage’ is, when The Mermaid’s Madness hits stores.”  Hmph.  I’ll have you know my book contains absolutely no shampoo, minimal singing, and only a few bondage scenes. ...

antickmusings.blogspot.com 10/16/2009 — See the earlier post this morning for all of the weekly introductory fluff; this post contains thoughts and notes on the review books I received last week that aren't being published by Yen Press. And so I'll dive right in: There's a new edition of ...
Reviewing the Mail: Week of 9/27
antickmusings.blogspot.com 9/30/2008 — Since I review books -- whatever I feel like here and various graphic novels and manga for ComicMix -- I get books to review in the mail. (It's what they call a virtuous circle.) But I do feel a bit guilty, since there's no way I could review ...
Reviewing the Mail: Week of 8/23
antickmusings.blogspot.com 8/26/2008 — This is a weekly post: it goes up early every Monday morning and lists the books that I received the week before for review or notice (and, sometimes, books that I got in other ways, if I want to call attention to them). I haven't reviewed any of ...
Reviewing the Mail: Week of 1/3
antickmusings.blogspot.com 1/5/2009 — As expected, the mail was light this week -- actually, I was surprised to get anything , with most of publishing taking off for Christmas week and the mails being slow. But I did get a small handful of things, and this is what they were: Shambling ...
Reviewing The Mail: Week of 3/21
antickmusings.blogspot.com 3/24/2009 — Last week I was rambling about the ebb and flow of review copies, and this week helps to prove my point: it's almost entirely comics/manga, led by the big monthly box from Yen Press. As usual, I post these lists on Monday mornings because I know I ...
On Reviewing
angelaslatter.wordpress.com 4/3/2009 — “Professional reviewers read so many bad books in the course of duty that they get an unhealthy craving for arresting phrases.” (Evelyn Waugh) “Reviewers, with some rare exceptions, are a most stupid and malignant race.” (Percy Bysshe Shelley)  ...
Reviewing the Book Review Blogs: Day 2
rimworlds.com 8/27/2009 — Yesterday I missed including one of the first ten blogs. (Sorry - not intentional). Here’s that one - A Journey of Books: Wide-ranging subjects. Includes a rating program and, interestingly, a ’sensuality’ rating. Blogroll, no link. Now on to Day 2. Andromeda ...
Reviewing The Reviewing, by James Lovegrove
sciencefictionandfantasyenthusiasts.com 6/18/2009 — I’m going to be perfectly honest with you here. Well, OK, not perfectly honest. This may be nonfiction but I reserve the right to invent, embellish, obfuscate and downright lie if I want to, so long as it serves my argument. That’s my prerogative as a ...
Reviewing the Book Review Blogs - Again
rimworlds.com 8/24/2009 — Look! That’s me being dragged. Yes, I am kicking and screaming. Last year when John Ottinger started his Book Reviewer Blog Linkup Meme, I conceived the entirely insane idea of doing a capsule review of each of the blogs. At the time I was looking for something to write about that ...
Reading List for the Coming Week
booktionary.blogspot.com 8/22/2009 — I'll be on vacation next week, which means I won't be tending to the blog as obsessively. But don't worry I have a few posts all set up for next week including a couple reviews and even the start of a contest. In a recent article I mentioned I was picking out books for this trip so I thought I'd ...
