I'm a book lover of course, If I wasn't why would I have a blog with book reviews?
I first deiced I should start doing reviews years ago, I just didn't know how or what platform I should use. I'm the summer reading program champion, well, that's not a real thing, but if it was, I would be.
it started on a Saturday and the next Tuesday I finished it.
I AM that cool.
The Librarians know me well. and the Library book sale, I am so there. and any book sale too.
For a long time I reviewed books for my family or friends.
I have an editorial mind with books, and I was quick to say what bothered me about books, what I liked too. (But what I didn't like was funnier).
I would act out the scenes, for whoever was near by when I was reading.
I remember reading a novella by a pretty famous author, She's a good writer, but she should have stayed in her genre, because outside of that, it was horribly terrible.
It was a modern fairy tale, and for the ones who don't know
I LOVE fairy tales, not just Cinderella or the popular ones, I have a thick book of fairy tales.
the obscure one too. so when the book trend moved to fairy tales, I was delighted.
This book how ever, was bad. It was a take on snow white. But there was no evil step mother or... anything else really. There was an apple though.
So the guy is an EMT. I have mostly forgotten the plot (YAY!) and only remember the key details for the garish scene. So he's an EMT and she does something for work, Her dad tries to match make, blah blah blah. So the end scene is where things get going.
Of course because this is a romantic story there has to be a rift in their love (eye roll) so for some stupid reason they decide they can't be together. many a tear is shed, blah blah blah.
So it's winter and she's eating an apple as she checks her mailbox she realizes that they really could be together but then she slips on the ice and chokes on the apple.
Of course at that very moment Mr. EMT is thinking that they could be together too, he's all happy and then he see's her fall. "Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
But because he's a professional EMT who has dealt with these things hundreds of times and that while this is different and personal he should be competent enough to get the stupid apple out so she doesn't die, right?
Wrong.
Apparently the big, strong and competent man who was taught at a EMT School to respond in emotional, hard and tragic situation can't do a thing but cry on her.
I tell no lie, it said in real words in the book that "His Tears fell on her cheek".
What??? WHAT???
So what's the first thing I do after I read this atrocious scene?
I lay on the ground in the living room and act the scene out for the enjoyment of my family.
It wasn't long after that I realized I should start writing reviews, though not all are as dramatic as others.
And that was how I began my journey
