Wherein I look at the responsibilities of book reviewers from 3 different angles: 1) The casual/ non-reviewer 2) The Book Blogger/ Influencer 3) The Advance Review Copy reader So what do y'all think? Did I get it mostly right? Am I mostly a moron? Somewhere in between? :D

Reading is what you choose to make it. If you choose to make it political, it is political *for you*. If you choose - as I do - to use it as an *escape* from politics, it will be that *for you* as well.
