           Writing is an art form, that many of have used in various forms for the viewing public. Not just in books that we can read and enjoy. I have loved reading my whole life, as a young girl I was introduced to Nancy Drew books. Then as I grew, so did the types of books in which I took refuge in from the world. Now as a grown woman, I enjoy a wide variety of genre. And it is here that I will share with those who chose to read this blog, my thoughts and feelings about the books that I read.


Many time what reviewers write in their posts, is just a condensed version of the authors story. That does not help readers to find new authors to read. Some that they may even enjoy reading. Not everyone wants to buy a book, only to find out that it is not what they had been looking for. I have done that many times, the blurb sounded good; but once I started to read the story... 


That is where book reviewers come in to play, we help readers find new authors by sharing what we think about the book and the authors writing skills. Just as it should be. The authors spend so much of their time creating their works of art (books), that they deserve more than to have someone come along and repeat their own words.  It is frustrating for me, and I am sure that it is equally frustrating for authors to find this happening. I have had several authors email me, thanking me for taking the time to write the types of reviewers that I do. And it makes me feel very good that I have touched the authors lives in that way. And I will continue to do what I feel is the right thing to do for the authors out there.

Reading has been a great part of my life, through reading I am able to escape the ever craziness and find some peace. Yes, I said it. It is true for so many people out there, we must have a way of breaking away for reality; to finding some sanity in this crazy world.
I feel that reading could help a great many people in the world, to escape what causes them they have bad thoughts. Reading has been said to be a therapeutic aid for doctors for years. I personally do believe that it can help. I know that when I feel blah, getting involved in a book helps me to take my mind off the things that are bothering me and helps me to gain a new perspective and approach to dealing with the matter. 
 As a book reviewer, we should be telling others about our personal thoughts and feeling about any book that we read. The authors have already written the book, and we as reviews should not be rewriting their work. that is WRONG in so many ways. 
If a person wants to write a story, then they should write one of their own. It is my option that when reviews re-write what an author has written; it is giving spoilers to a potential reader. Often times when I have read others reviews, I get the feel of the book and what the book is about; so why read it. It takes away from the glore for the authors that take their time to write the stories in the first place.  
It is amazing that the worlds of the world, can be used in so many different ways and yet can mean many different things.
