My First Review

Googling again. I know, I know…

Anyway, I found something fun! My first review by someone I’ve never met and who has no vested business relationship with me.

Booktagger is this website that apparently lets one organize their personal book collection and log their thoughts about things in their collections for mass consumption. They were given some free advance read copies of The Painted Man by Harper Collins UK, and they gave them out as a promotion, asking for reviews.

I’ve been scanning the site now and then to see if anyone read it, and my first review just popped up today:

It’s pretty good. Glowing praise and a rating of 8 out of 10. Guess I made it through the triple-flip with a half-turn, but didn’t quite stick the landing.

  1. Nice. I guess booktagger is like librarything (that service I’ve been using to organize things). Anyway, it’s great to see a nice 1st online review.

  2. What do you mean you didn’t stick the landing? There’s nothing negative in that review, Peat.

  3. Well, 8 out of 10 is 80%, right? What’s that, a B- ?

    Don’t worry, though. I’m hard at work on my extra credit project!

  4. glowing praise and a wish for the next book — yeah, i’d be worried about extra credit there, Peat.

    (yes, that would be an eyeroll. i can do that. i’m old enough to be your mother.)
