Book Blog Hop


It's almost Friday- time for another Book Blog Hop! I missed last week's Hop, so this weekend I will have to try and find some time to look at some great blogs.

This week's question:

When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?

I usually try and write my reviews within a day of finishing a book. If I wait much longer, I forget some things, and have usually completed another book that is a bit fresher in my mind. When I type up my monthly list of books that are linked to my blog, I am always kind of amazed at the number of books I don't even write a review on. Usually, even as I am reading, I am also thinking about what I want to say about the book when I blog. Right now I have 2 books I finished and have not yet written about, so we shall see if I end up reviewing them or not. Another book is already underway.

Thanks for hopping by! I can't wait to visit some blogs and find some new to me sites to visit, and books to read.

I used to have the same problem! Maybe what I've worked out will work for you: I use an index card for a bookmark, and jot down things that come to me as I read, including page numbers and so on. That way, even if I write the review months after I've read the book, I'll have something to reference for specific important stuff. :D

Happy HOP! I take notes while I read so if something comes up or I literally cant form the word the book left me speechless I have something to fall back on.

HOP by and visit

Hola! Your blog looks great!
I have the same problem - I have to write a review fast or not at all. One thing that helps is to only read one book at a time, but I can never do that. Too many books.
