I, too, am an introvert living in a houseful of extroverts. I guess it's good for me, and possibly for them, too. ;) I don't mind writing a quick book review, although it would drive me nuts to be nagged to do it. That said. I need to recommend a book to you (hehee) "Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can't talking" by Susan Cain. It's excellent and will make you understand yourself (and others) better, from an introverts' point of view. Have you read it yet? Now get thee off the 'pooter and get back to your book!AmyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016393315360502122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-56336543096582242182014-06-27T21:30:53.894-04:002014-06-27T21:30:53.894-04:00Ugh, I'm with you, Alana.

Stop writing reviews and they will stop asking you to write them. Keep smilin'.

If I like it I will tell others but a book has to be exceptional for me to write a review.Linked Local Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265419930444341815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-3560354083814915872014-06-27T18:45:32.292-04:002014-06-27T18:45:32.292-04:00I am not big on book reviews either.

I always post my reviews on Goodreads, but they never nag me. How would they know what I'm reading? I don't tell them until I'm finished. Sometimes, it's hard to write a review. As a positive person, I try to point out the best in books and ignore the glaring errors. But, fair is fair, and my reviews are usually part of a read-swap. I'm like you--love dystopian--the possibilities are endless.Francene Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298485336064691700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-69965528742224975722014-06-27T06:43:40.317-04:002014-06-27T06:43:40.317-04:00Alana- don't worry.

I've been abandoned by better people and ideas, too.)Cerebrations.bizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273098928740152430noreply@blogger.com
