Read my 56:



Book Beginnings leave your links in the comments if you didn't join in the Friday 56.



Q:  Do you post negative reviews? Do you promote those reviews if you post?  
A: I post reviews. Positive. Negative. It depends on what I am reviewing. I am not going to lie or hide bad things from my readers. How authentic would that make me?! I do not believe in biasness, and for that to happen and have transparency, you need to tell both sides. To each their own though.

    Ooof, 'An Honest Lie' sounds pretty intense, although that beginning did grip me straightaway! I'm the same with reviews. While I don't have a whole load of negative ones, since I only tend to read what I think I'll enjoy, I'm not going to only share positive things. Like you said, authenticity matters there as well! Thanks for hosting and have a lovely weekend :)

    Sounds quite intriguing.
    And I do agree, it is important to share both positive and negative reviews.

    I used to never publish negative reviews because I was publicizing my blog for my students and I wanted them to read anything and not be turned off to reading by a negative review. But now that I'm retired I don't worry about that. I find that writing reviews for book I don't care for actually helps me find some good aspects in the writing, actually.

The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
