This new segment has been brooded on for a while and I’m glad to show it the light of day now.

Ever since I started this website, I have been thinking of a way to make not only the reading list, but also the review process interesting for the visitors to read. I was milling it over one night while I was reading the Twilight Guy website (remember him ?) and I had a brainwave.

As opposed to writing a review on every book I read (…believe me you don’t want me to, there are too many), I will keep the mundane thoughts to myself and just keep you updated on what I am reading through the reading lists. Select books however, I will enter into my new segment; the Read-through review.

The Read-through review will be an on-going write-as-I-read reviewing process in which I will read a chapter and immediately post about that one chapter. Hopefully in this way, you as readers will follow me through the process. And credit where credit is due, this is the whole premise of the Twilight Guy website, only unlike him I will not restrict myself to one author and one series by that author.

Perhaps, as readers, you could pick the book up with me and see where I have different impression than you, or if you already have read the book, you might read my failing prognostications as they develop and pick up on the plot in the book that sends me amiss. Which is bound to happen often !

Anyway, I am planning to round-off any Read-through review with an interview with the corresponding author in case he or she is willing. Mostly, I will choose new or unread books by authors that I am already familiar with, so that I will have some context from previous work for the interview. But of course during the read I hope to pick up a lot of questions pertaining to the book under Read-through review to spice up the conversation.

When I start a review, I hope to post a chapter about every week running the length of the book. For longer books, I might post more often. For in the case of, say one of Ms. Meyer’s lengthy works, a chapter per week will result in one book a year. And that’s just a bit too hefty a time.

 

Well, the first up for Read-through…. you guessed it;
Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book !

 

 

 

PS. Have I plugged the Twilight Guy enough ?
