Welcome to Animus Libri!

I plan to provide a series of useful book reviews as I mow through my endless queued book stack.

If I have spent the time to consume a book, I may be able to provide a few useful insights to others who may be thinking of buying the book. Alternatively, I may be able to alert people to books which they would otherwise be unaware of and that they may enjoy.

Books reviewed will be of a very diverse variety. I hope to be able to capture the spirit and soul of these books, at least sufficiently enough to help any readers decide if the book would be of interest to them. I'll also try hard not to spoil the storylines of any fiction or non-fiction story.

Below, you will find lists of books currently being actively read, bookmarked (partially read but currently not being actively consumed), and waiting to be read.

How To Destroy Your Credibility As An Author

The book review was tough but fair. The author's replies in the comments to follow went from impolite to downright offensive and passed well off into 'tainted for life'.

The correct response for a review, even one you disagree with, is 'Thank you'. Thank your reviewer, display some class. Don't argue, don't engage in a duel about the review, just thank the reviewer for taking the time to review your work.

Professionalism isn't just a matter of blind convention; Professionalism is noticed by those who publish and by the reading public in general. So is its opposite.
