Begin review. No image to review. QPQs stated to be done but appear perfunctory. Tweeked the hook.

George Mills: Article is new enough and long enough. Article is neutral and generally well referenced apart from the plot section which is completely unreferenced. Article is well structured but the quality of the English is poor in places and needs improvement. A book cover could probably be justified under fair use provisions and would add to the visual appeal of the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:49, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Mrs. Ted Bliss Article is new enough and long enough. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:37, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: I have uploaded non-free book covers for both novels and provided novel as a source to the plot. Please let me know if anything else needs to be done. - Vivvt (Talk) 05:53, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

I will try to finish the review in the next few days. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:28, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I won't be able to do the second article until next week due to real life commitments. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:45, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

I copyedited both articles. In George Mills, I also replaced the nonsensical New York Times review with a direct quote from the review. Here is a full review of both articles: Both articles nominated on day of creation. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced (no cites are needed in Plot section), no close paraphrasing seen. Hook refs verified and cited inline in both articles. I added the publication dates to the hook. Images that appear in each article are Fair Use. Two QPQs done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
