My first book review is up at Satan's Bookclub. I've reviewed Frank Portman's YA novel Andromeda Klein, a book I thoroughly enjoyed. But that's not what Satan's Bookclub is about, is it? It's more important to recognize how potentially evil a book is, rather than the quality of story and writing. You becha!

Bit rusty at the reviews. I only published two the first time SBC was up. But I attempted a few more. I'm looking forward to honing my skills.

I love to read and I do it a lot. I also like to go to readings and book signings, something I used to do more often when I lived in the states.I used to read a lot of book blogs as well. And all of these activities led to creating Satan's Bookclub with Louise. I created it, did a couple of reviews, but I let it slide. I don't remember why. Probably met a boy online or something. wink wink.

In the last few months, I've been thinking about bringing it back. Suddenly, it was a week before Banned Book Week (the original inspiration for the site) and I jumped in and redesigned it.
With the exception of reading books, I feel that I have ignored the intellectual pie piece of my umm... life pie. I'm not learning anything, or using my brain overly much. That is evidenced by my lackluster blogging, for one. Satan's Bookclub will, I hope, renew my deeper interest in books and book news, as well as force me to to think and articulate my opinions on the books I read.
In other words, I am going to exercise my brain. If you are unfamiliar with Satan's Bookclub, you can read it's history and manifesto here. Please stop on by.
