Just recently, the tide of thoughts washed over the reviews that I put here. If you&#8217;ve read them, and there will be more in the future, you may notice that they are done because I got the book for free and promised I&#8217;d review it.<\/p>\n<p>That got me to wondering, are other people going to think I&#8217;m selling out? Do I think I&#8217;m selling out? Am I selling out? Should I be writing this down? I can answer that last one.<\/p>\n<p>I have been reviewing books for around a year now, and I have joined other teams since then. Why? Well, I like to read, and my wallet cannot keep up with my reading speed. I could go to the library, but many of the books I&#8217;m reading aren&#8217;t available there. Plus, I have to return them, so I wouldn&#8217;t have them on hand to reference or loan out. So, am I selling out, or not?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think so, and here is why. I have to earn the books. The companies don&#8217;t just send them to me. I have to read them and then think about them. After that, I have to put my thoughts in a logical order. Hard, no, but is all work hard?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re reading this site, but don&#8217;t want to read the reviews, that is fine. You can see the categories right below the title, so you can skip them when it says &#8220;Reviews.&#8221; If you think I should stop mixing them in, I disagree with you, but you can still tell me what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I ponder, which I tend to do if not engaged in any kind of activity, I drift from one thought to another.
