1st day here, Thank you! :)

Post by RicReviews »

I love to read and have been reading books and comics since the age of five.

It would be unfair for me to pick a particular book that I like, unfair to the authors at least.
But I can say that the best books that I have liked (And still do!) are that of Enid Blyton and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Over the years, I have read a great number of books, how many? I could not say for I do not remember and cannot even remember, the number is way too big.

I also love Hollywood films, not the ones with endless car chases and endless karate fights – really a big bore!

I would like to do book reviews, but am a bit worried as I read the rules for this and they seem pretty complex – or maybe that's the problem with me alone. I don't know, I just found everything in the rules very complex.

So now, I am afraid to leave reviews.

The reason I am afraid is because I want to do paid reviews and I read in the rules that if I fail at the very first review, then I cannot do any more. Scary!

So, I find myself in the proverbial Joseph Heller's Catch 22 situation!

Anyway, I have joined the forum, so will keep going over the rules and only do book reviews, till I am comfy with the rules and make sure that I do not do any mistakes.

Also, I do not have profiles to LinkedIn, Bookshelf ( I have had no need for creating such profiles!) and the like, so that makes it tough for me to share and earn brownies here. Which means I have to go and sign up at all of these sites - that will take time for sure!

Anyway, thanks for accepting me to your forum.

Best wishes and regards.
Ric :)

Welcome! The rules can be kind of scary, but you'll get used to it very quickly. Maybe you could print out the rules to help yourself when you go to write your first review. Also, glancing at a lot of the current official reviews to see what's been done before can be helpful! Good luck!
