It came in handy when I was working a data entry job and going through an audiobook a day!<br /><br />I'm trying to improve my reviewing skills, too, but not necessarily to make them more scholarly. As you can tell from the name of my blog (Average Girl Reads), I'm not trying to provide formal reviews. However, I do want to do a better job of providing enough information about the book without giving spoilers.Dani in NCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253463208983835237.post-62300433673831677212009-07-06T07:55:13.000-04:002009-07-06T07:55:13.000-04:00Funny, that's exactly what I'm trying to d...Funny, that's exactly what I'm trying to do now (making reviews more "formal" by using less "I"). LOL.

It's wonderful hearing all of Nabokov's plays with language aloud though. :)Evanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253463208983835237.post-84015349300143607912009-07-05T09:59:35.000-04:002009-07-05T09:59:35.000-04:00Libraries just keep getting better and better.

But now I can just borrow on digitally from my library from the comfort of my home.
