I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Why aren't I doing the blogger blackout?
I enjoy reading and reviewing too much. Plus, I'm too flaky to remember when I finished books otherwise.
But more importantly, it seemed a bit counter productive to me. Kathleen Hale and the guy who attacked the reviewer? They're trying to get us to shut up. Instead, I'm going to make my voice heard. I do, however, support the blogger blackout. I want to support them in the way that makes me feel most comfortable however, so I decided to do this quick post.
Because consider all of my reviews in the future dedicated to all the bloggers who've ever felt threatened, and I'll try to be more thoughtful and critical as a tribute to them.
