I'm basically the same with reviewing - I read in my spare time, so I'm not going to force myself to read a book I'm hating just so I can write a negative review about. That said, I do really try to be balanced and I occasionally worry that the lack of negative reviews on my blog makes it look like I'm just not that discerning.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070810013429188776.post-62494967084736633532010-03-26T14:27:01.619-05:002010-03-26T14:27:01.619-05:00I agree.
