I've been thing about this more and I think that if I responded to the book emotionally I tend to review it that way. If I found the book good, but well-written good and not I'M CRYING WITH THE FEELS AND OH THE PAIN good, then I'd tend to review it critically. That make sense...? :)Rachel Lightwood @ Quite the Novel Ideahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495927330080464034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606375112371322372.post-75273638462124124542015-05-05T17:11:33.785+09:302015-05-05T17:11:33.785+09:30I hadn't heard of this celebration before but ...I hadn't heard of this celebration before but I think it is a very honorable one to have, and I am glad you were able to enjoy the day. As for being an emotional vs. critical reviewer, I think I am also a bit of both!
