Reviewing Now: Pat Simmons Still Guilty

As busy as I am, guess what?  I still review books. Today I am completing my review of Pat Simmons Still Guilty(Urban Christian, 14.95.) You can pick up a copy of the May issue of Romantic Times Magazine to read my review of this book.

I have a question for you. Do you use book reviews to determine if a book is worthy for purchase or reading?
