Welcome to the thirty-eighth book review of fifty-three. As you know, I used to provide freelance book reviews to several review companies. It was a great experience that introduced me to new authors and their wonderful books. Each week this year, I’m opening my Weekend Coffee shares with a link to a review I’ve provided. Reviews are three stars or higher. The genres range from picture books to fiction and nonfiction titles.

If we were having coffee, I would share that I have determined my A-to-Z 2027 topic, and I’m making a list of what each letter post will be for April. I need to figure out the letters I, J, K, Q, R, V, X. So, I feel like that’s a good starting organization for the challenge, and it should make writing the posts easier.
If we were having coffee, I would ask you a question. I had an experience this week that made me wonder: Is there a difference between providing feedback and providing a review? For me, feedback is personal and private; it’s my reaction to whatever I’m providing feedback on. I consider a review to be more of a formal public assessment. What are your thoughts on this?
If we were having coffee, I would share my excitement about booking author events for 2027. I will post them on my homepage, which is the Shari Marshall—Fantasy Author page. Currently, I’m waiting for confirmation on a Book Bazaar event. I’m making themed bookmarks for my events table because they are one of my favourite book things. That leads me to another question for you: What are your favourite book items?
Here is the coffee bean grinder, virtual friend. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the difference between providing feedback and providing a review, and what your favourite book items are. Please leave your response in the comment section below.
