November 15: Passed the 25K mark. Whew! I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. 25K to go, but Thanksgiving break is coming up, so I have hope.

I’ve been thinking about ethics for book reviewers because I’m currently working with three new reviewers at The Harrow, and I want my expectations about their behavior with authors and publishers to be clear.
