Reviews
My newsletter is a monthly collection of reviews and other opinions. Please subscribe via email or RSS, or read it online.
The “My Opinion” shorthand I use in Reviews:
- “Worth My Time” means I got something valuable from having read or listened to it, and I think you might, too.
- “I Liked It” means I’m very happy to have read it or listened to it.
- “I Loved It” means I feel good enough about it that I’d like to read it or listen to it again (and there’s a good chance that I did).
- “A Personal Favorite” is reserved for the ones I hold closest to my heart. These are the candidates for my Desert Island list.
