    Books to Avoid: Cranky Book Reviews

    I must confess, I have been a somewhat cranky reader recently. Here’s the thing: I hear complaints about the quality of books available in KU all the time. Having my own in that pool makes me wince a little when I see those criticisms. But…   It’s all true. You know what else is true?…
