I've made a plan. For the next several weeks, until I am done, I will write two past-due reviews or mini-reviews and stay current on books as I finish them. I don't review every book I read, but I want to review all book club selections, all Printz-possible YA titles, and any SH/JH nonfiction books I read. I also have a few favorites I will throw in for good measure. As I finish reviewing books I will come back to this page and hyperlink them. Stay tuned and watch my progress.

Past Due Book Reviews
16 / 16 books. 100% done!
COMPLETE!

I like that you have set a challenge for yourself of doing the past due book reviews. That will probably help motivate you. It's a bunch of reviews and probably feels overwhelming. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for setting goals! I sometimes get WAY behind on my reviews, but I have been doing well lately - Big Book Summer helps because it takes me longer to finish each book, so fewer reviews to write! And the books I read for Shelf Awareness HAVE to be reviewed & turned in by a certain date. I'm sure I'll get behind again :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck - lots of good books on your list here!
