In reply to Mary.

Thanks, Mary! I’m glad this was helpful for you.
When we share something we’ve just learned with others, it’s a great way to root the learning in our own minds.
Watch for tomorrow’s guest post where I share specific ways to write good reviews.
Have fun writing your reviews!

Great article Cynthia! Wonderful suggestion for my new blog. I can’t tell you how many artist books I’ve read during the past year to learn about oil pastels and painting in general. Most were well written with helpful hints and tips – all have played a part in where I am today.
In particular is Alyson’s book, I’d Rather Be In The Studio. As a new artist, this was exactly the resource I was looking for.
Great idea Cynthia, I will definitely start a book review on my blog. Thanks, Mary

Thanks Cynthia…I have reinvented myself so many times, I’m pretty sure coming up to 20 years in 2013 as a “pro” that I have escaped the crowd by now…
“The higher the fewer” was repeated in that great Star Trek episode to the young boy Clingon, Alexander, Worf’s son… “it’s lonely at the top” is sung by Randy Newman…
To be fair, that girl from India & another in Southern California, were the only ones I found who were painting with their hands back then…I’ll take the bronze happily…

In reply to Sapphire.

Sapphire,
I couldn’t agree more. I do not like summarizing reviews. I can get that from the book’s cover or the sales page online.
I stopped reading movie reviews years ago. I found that the reviewers point of view got in the way of me seeing the film through my own perspective. I like going back afterward and reading the review as a conversation starter instead of a judgement of the film’s worth. Same is true for books.
Thanks for commenting!

In reply to Molly.

Thanks, Molly! I know the feeling. This is one of the things Alyson and I help with in our Blog Triage class. I have found it very helpful to share things I love – like books – to make it relevant and useful. And not always about me!
Glad this resonated with you!
