Read. Read. Read. Read. Blog. Read. Read. Read.


My blogging to reading ratio is out of whack, again! I keep reading and not blogging, or more correctly, I am not reviewing the books I finish in a timely manner. So, once again, I have to goad myself to get going, to write those reviews, to finish the project, so to speak. This list is for me. If I see all the books still needed/wanted to review in one spot, it helps me focus on the task at hand.

  1. Reading is the easy part. Reviewing takes just about as long as reading the book, but is so much more work! I used to review a lot more books, but have read more recently that I haven't reviewed, and it feels like a bit of a vacation. I hope that you get back into some sort of comfortable groove. I have every faith in your ability to do so!

    1. When I was a high school librarian I used to pretty much only review the YA books I read. Now that I am retired I am ticked that I didn't review the adult books from that period as well. Those are the ones I want to look back on to see my thoughts from the time. Sigh. I did it backwards.

  2. I am with you here! Especially doing Novellas in November, thus reading two books for every normal one I would do as standard, and doing Nonfiction November and the prompts every Monday. I just managed to review four books in the past two days, once more to go and in the middle of reading three so I feel like I'll never catch up!

  3. Sometimes taking stock of where we are in blogging/a project is what we need to get it done. Good luck catching up on reviews. I find if I don't do them right away, they don't get done.
