Recently, I met a person, and this conversation happened:
Her: "What did you study in college?"
Me: "My BA is in English literature. My MFA is in children's literature."
Her: "So you like reading?"
Me: "Yep. I read books and talk about them on the internet."
Her: "I like books, but I sound stupid when I talk about them."
Me: "Me too, but that's never stopped me."
The conversation made me wonder what goes on inside my head while I'm writing a book review. What do I look for in fiction? What do I say in reviews?
