In my opinion, that’s kind of the point of being a book reviewer in any definition: the honesty.But I’ve walked it back in recent years. I don’t read books I hate, at least on purpose, and I don’t shout that hate from the rooftops.Usually.But then I decided to read every Goodreads Choice Award winner for a substack post. And I had to confront...

Yesterday, John was doing a livestream, signing copies of his book. While he was doing it, he was also talking to people in the chat. I asked him if he ever reads the reviews of his books here on Goodreads. He replied that he does, although he knows it's not the best thing for his mental health because the mean reviews stick with him much more than the good ones do.
