New Feature: BOOKENDS – What fiction and non-fiction JC Sulzenko reads
Starting today and from time to time, JC will post her views about some of the books she has been reading. Each post will share her candid assessment of the craft and content of books on her reading list. Reviews will be kept to around the same number of words as the characters Twitter allows per Tweet.
“Rather than simply going on to the next book, it’s important for me as a writer to reflect on how what I read stays with me.
“I admit I generally look at reviews only AFTER I finish a book so as to not have such comments predispose me to think about it in a particular way. So I recognize how my reflections may influence other readers to take up a book. Or to avoid it. It’s for that reason I want my thoughts to strike a good balance between honesty and respect.”
JC emphasizes that the views she expresses will be entirely her own. She’ll rate each book on a scale of 1 to 10. JC welcomes feedback on her comments through this website or on Twitter @jcsulzenko.
