Additional (Shorter) Book Review Source

As you have probably figured out by reading this blog, I review around 1-2 books per month (when I don't forget). Obviously, as an aspiring librarian, I read a lot more than that. I just don't have time to write full length articles on them all. For that, I apologize.

HOWEVER, I have come up with a GREAT solution to this problem. I have begun reviewing books on my twitter account. For those of you who are not familiar with twitter, you have to post your "status" in 140 characters or less. This isn't a great resource for book reviews but I think it is going to be a very valuable way to document my opinions about books (for those who want to know it) in a brief format that takes me almost no time to spit out.

So if you are interested in all that I read, follow me at twitter.com/ChristaC1. You never know when you might find a great read through twitter. :-)

P.S. - Over the Christmas break, I had put up an opinion about a book on twitter. I will admit that it wasn't a great opinion, because I was confused over many aspects of the plot, but I posted my opinion anyway. The author of this book almost immediately responded to my tweet (because I have a public profile there) and wanted to know why I was confused. He posted links to help me get over it and, overall, we had a great little discussion about his book. It is amazing what technology can do for you sometimes!
