Book Blogger Hop (6) + Follow Friday (5)



It's Follow Friday!





This is my fifth Follow My Blog Friday, a weekly meme hosted by hosted by Parajunkee's View



Book Blogger Hop





This is my sixth Book Blogger Hop, a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books

Book Blogger Hop Question:

When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you read the entire book?
I have tried writing them as I read but it doesn't work for me.  I am quick to jump to conclusions or judgments and just as quick to jump back and reevaluate.  It wouldn't do anyone any good for me to actually write as I read. 

What about you?

  1. Hopping by to visit and follow! I write notes as I go, but i revise them all into a review after I know what to think of the whole book. Plenty of books have surprised me in the last 50 pages, so I try to hold off final judgements for a while. :-)

  2. Hi! Just hopping by! Writing as I read also doesn't work for me so I finish a book first before I write a review. :)

    Cheers!

  4. Happy Hop! I wait until I'm finished before I write the review and use all the insight notes I took to help show how I felt. Helps alot!

  8. (Hopping!)

    I've found the same thing happens if I try to write a review before I get to the end--sometimes, the review doesn't look like the story at all. Whoops!

  9. Hello! Stopping by on the Hop =)

    I totally agree - I change my mind about a thousand times while I'm reading a book. Rarely do I love a book from start to finish (it happens occasionally though, and then it's amazzzing ;-))

    Happy Friday!

  17. Just hopping by on the book blog hop! I also write up my reviews after I read the whole book as well. It seems that books just have too much content to judge it at the beginning. I wish I could write reviews just after I've finished a book because it's all fresh in my mind, but it never seems to work that way. I'll be following you to see what you post next.

  18. Hello! I really like the look of your blog :) I can't write reviews as I read either, but that's just because I hate putting books down to scribble notes. Anyway, I'm a new follower.

    If you get a chance, check out my blog. I've got a few giveaways going on at the moment.

    Have a great weekend!

  21. yup, i totally can't concentrate on the book if I'm pre-reviewing it as i go. Starts feeling like a highschool assignment.
