So after insisting over and over that I don’t really write reviews, I’m… writing reviews. :)
Just recently, senior manga editor Katherine Dacey invited me to join the staff of reviewers over at PopCultureShock’s Manga Recon. I accepted her invitation with much glee, and as a result, you can find my first review (of Claymore volume 13) in today’s Manga Minis !
Perhaps the greatest advantage to the fact that I really don’t write reviews here, is that very little at this blog can be expected to change. I’ll still be rambling on about manga as I have for the past year or so, and in addition, I’ll be linking to reviews of mine that are published over at Manga Recon.
A million thanks to Kate for this wonderful opportunity!
Melinda:
My pleasure! The person you should be thanking, however, is Michelle Smith, who introduced me to your blog via your essay “Why You Should Read NANA.” Michelle’s a big fan of your writing, as am I. Welcome to the crew!
Kate
I have thanked Michelle so many times at this point, I was afraid she’d be embarrassed! :D I hope I can live up to both your expectations!
And I maintain the only one you need thank is yourself, for writing those interesting posts to begin with! Or maybe your Mom, for the whole birth thing.
I think I’ll go with my mom! :D
And where *is* my mom, anyway? I know she’s been refreshing the front page all day, waiting for this news!
Well, then I got caught up on evening TV. I was waiting soooooo impatiently.
Happy to do my part by birthing you.
:D
Hee hee. Melinda, your mom is awesome.
Yes, she really is. :)
Congrats! Not that I had any doubts, it’s a good review.
Oh, thank you Ed! Heh. I was so nervous about my first one, too. I hope they will only improve! I’m actually pretty excited about an opportunity to become a better writer. :)
Congrats! It’s great having more opportunities to read your lovely writing and I look forward to your thoughts on series. I hope you have fun :)
Oh, thanks Lissa! You are so kind. :) I am sure it will be fun! I’m very excited about some of the assignments I have been given so far.
