My goal is to find a connection to the words I read, a reaction, and perhaps even add a touch of humor to reviewing. I'm finally at the point where I only read what holds my attention, so expect largely positive reviews... and I do round up.

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit, by We Are Bookish
I wish I'd had this guide about six months ago when I decided to dive into seriously reviewing books. It would have saved a few headaches. Having skimmed and then read it through several times now, I am glad to have this guideline. I don't know that I'll ever venture into all the currently suggested platforms but it's nice to have a basic guide should I ever do so. The publisher notes that this is a living document, one that will evolve and change with the times, so I expect to delve into it periodically. That is a major plus. I see the same questions asked repeatedly on media pages on some of the programs actually suggested, so hopefully the next edition will tackle some of them. The fact it's easy to read is another. My hunch is even those who simply review the occasional book for fun and have never heard of NetGalley might find it useful. Now, if it could just teach me to be less long-winded.
