Reviews ...

I have now written two reviews in Open Worldcat.

On beauty by Zadie Smith
Islandbridge by John Brady

It has spurred me to think of lists of things it would be nice to read again and review. I am currently rereading one of my favorite novels as I am prompted to contribute something about it.

I will have to be careful: what with blogging, working and living, I don't think I should get hooked on adding reviews to OWC. I hope some others do though ;-)

Always keen to try online publishing systems of any kind, I thought I'd submit a review or two to Open Worldcat.

Mine is for Love and Zen in the Outer Hebrides by Kevin MacNeill.

It was a relief to discover that I could go back and edit out the spelling mistakes in my first attempt.

It's an easy system to use, but as with other online review services, I find the title/leading tag of the review harder to write than the review itself. After 20 minutes and a system time-out on the title alone (the review took less than 5), I've still ended up with a pretentious title.
