It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s true…more people have expressed an interest in me reviewing their books. It began back in April when Starcrafts Publishing asked if I would like to review Maria Kay Simms book "Moon Tides, Soul Passages". At the time, we posted it to the Online Extras section of our website because we really had no better home for it. I had never done a review before, and honestly, we figured the odds of anyone asking me to do it again were pretty slim.<\/p>\n
Enter the gigantic publishing juggernaut of Llewellyn. A few weeks back one of the publicists there wrote me a very nice email and to make a long story short…Rebecca is getting some review copies. I know! It’s in the too weird to be true category, except that, well, it’s true!<\/p>\n
Suddenly Jim and I needed to figure out how to deal with the fact that there were going to be more reviews in the future. What you see now, is the end result of that discussion. We both like this blog format because it gives the reader a chance to offer their own opinion on the book as well.<\/p>\n
I can’t say how frequently there will be new stuff here. A lot of it depends on how frequently I get books to review and how long it takes for me to read them. I’m a lazy girl, but I refuse to write a review for a book I haven’t read! Another factor is whether or not I liked the book. The Magical Buffet isn’t about negativity, we follow the advice our mothers gave us, "If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all." There will be no venomous reviews here. Sorry.<\/p>\n
So, welcome to The Magical Buffet’s latest experiment! Just for neatness, I will be posting my review of "Moon Tides, Soul Passages" here, even though it was reviewed months ago. That way all of my reviews will be together.<\/p>\n
Also, if you’re an author of a book and would like me to review you, just send me an email and we’ll talk.<\/p>\n
