This is a weekly event hosted by Jen at Crazy For Books. It's a chance to discover new blogs and to garner new readers for your blog as well. The reviews I write? I don't write too many of them. Most of the time, I try to review it the day I finish reading - or else I put them off for a month, and let myself just marinate in my thoughts about book for a while. I have to do this to prevent my exuberance about reading say, the final book in a series, carry over into my opinion on the book.
Today I'm launching a brand new CONTEST!! *YAY*
Just check out the Contest Post to enter!
Other FREE Stuff this week: Free Story from Neil Gaiman

Oh wow, good question! :) No idea....perhaps its better when I'm in the middle? Cause I have more ideas about what to say.
ReplyDeleteYay for a contest!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I always wait to do my reviews till I'm done reading, simply because I read so fast, and it messes up my pace if I try to take notes while reading :)
Following you back from Crazy-For-Books! I'm excited to see what you come up with.

Just hopping by 2 say HI! YAY me new follower lol :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good point - sometimes when you love a series, it's hard not to judge a book by the others, rather than on its own merit. When I first read Breaking Dawn, I loved it by mere virtue of my insane anticipation of its release. But after re-reading and thinking about it a little, I started to take issue with some of the more...um...questionable aspects of the plot lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my site! I love your site background =)
@Casey - Oh, that is a great example :D Good call. And your site is super..
ReplyDeleteLadies, I can use some help with figuring out what to do with ppl who got extra entries in my contest. How do you pick a winner and ensure that the extra entries get counted?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Why don't you review every book you read?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping by my blog! I also try to review the book very soon after finishing, otherwise all the details get fuzzy in my memory :)
ReplyDelete@WonderBunny - Because I am a terrible person and read faster than I can write :) No, actually I feel there are already so many awesome reviewers out there, so I try to bring something new to the mix.
