#skystorians : tips for how to approach peer review of a book MS? For articles, I'll typically do a first read through, write some impressions, then go back over and get more in the weeds, but not sure how to handle a much longer and more complex piece. Advice appreciated!

Naw I’d say you’re fine-happy reading!

Great way to end and start the year!

Yes, definitely a myth I find myself needing to challenge at the college level, too! But more & more scholarship on this now, thankfully

First book of 2025 (started in 2024; I promise I did some things other than read today) ☑️
