Hi Ingrid: I read both, discussed Blue Nights on my blog - I much preferred Magical Thinking. Interesting that you were the reverse! Ruby

Hi: Great question - I started my book blog to focus my reading on my own library and to help myself move through the authors and classics that I wanted to read. I don't know if I think of my posts as reviews per se - maybe more like discussions? I write them for myself - trying to identify key themes that interested me and I write them for my readers - trying to give them enough of a sense of the book so that they can better choose whether to read it, trying to entertain and provoke. That's probably the definition of a review, I know - but I'm still a bit uncomfortable with the word as a label for what I write and I avoid using the word on my blog. Thanks, Ruby

Oooo, sounds good, here's mine: http://yearofreadingmybooks.wordpress.com/ Happy Reading, Ruby
