Wow! You beat me. I was really looking forward to reviewing this book before you, for the contest and for my website. I have really been looking forward to the release of this book and ordered it to arrive ASAP. I am still waiting, though it should arrive this afternoon.
Parka, I visit your site daily and I am a huge fan. You have helped me find a new hobby that I can share with my family and that brings me delight every day. I have been amassing a rather large book collection, thanks to you. There are so many books I would have never heard of or discovered if you did not do this. Thank you.
Because of enjoyment, I have started to work on my own blog, which I hope to get up and running soon to share my own reviews. Not to compete, but because I truly love these books. I have a good reads account and a facebook account now too, because I find them good ways to find more books and connect with others and learn about other books. I grew up in an area where a lot of art was not acceptable and there was no outlet to create art or even find it, if it wasn't classical in nature or of a suitable style.
One of the best parts of all of this is that I have found a new hobby in which I have always liked, but never felt like I measured up - art. I drew a lot when I was little and never considered it as a career. I gave up painting in high school, because we were forced to do projects that the teacher made us do. Never being allowed to work on mediums or topics that were not approved of or familiar to the teacher, (sci-fi and fantasy / computer). I gave it up. Now some 20 years later, with the discovery of all these different styles and the huge variety of work, I realize that I could fit in and even enjoy my taste in art. I share a lot of my love of this stuff with my children, who eat it up and are interested in art as well. The best part is, that I can now see possibilities with my art, that really make me happy and make me very happy. It may seem odd, bit I owe a lot of this to you and your reviews. Thank you thank you.
