RE: Book review, with a musical bonus – Alex Bledsoe’s Tufa novels.

That's a very intriguing teaser! I wish that I would have the same sort of following if I ever get published haha! I really envy your ability to read quickly, my friend. I feel a bit hampered by my sluggish reading ability that it often affects my productivity in terms of going through stuff on a deadline.

Sort:  

There are pluses and minuses of reading fast. If I were to be an editor, I might read too quickly to pick up on everything I need to. And each book comes to an end so soon!

But, if you're an editor, you can re-read the story a bunch of times to see if you missed anything. You can re-read a story 5 times at the same rate an average person takes to finish it once.

Oops, I thought I was 3 days behind in answering my comments, but it's 5!! How did that happen? True, re the reading 5 times. Though I realise I actually mean I could be a proof reader. Being a good editor needs quite different skills.
