If I'm really behind on reviews (like I am right now), I tend to do short, one paragraph "mini reviews" and post a few at once. That way I don't get panicked about being behind on reviews AND I don't post a millions reviews each week (which nobody would read anyway).<br /><br />I thought about switching to only posting reviews for books that make me have VERY STRONG FEELINGS (positive or negative), but I like have a complete record of book thoughts sooooo here we are. It IS stressful sometimes, though, even with the mini reviews.

I do want to start branching out a bit, so when I find the time to fit an adult book into my reading schedule I will probably review it in the future. <br /><br />I don't review DNF books, either. I like the idea of doing a collective post on them like I've seen some other bloggers do, but I always forget! <br /><br />Other than that, I do try to review every book. I have some that I haven't reviewed yet (the Lux series, for example) that I'm saving until I have a free day and I need a post :DAmber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-67415180927165754642013-03-18T09:25:48.040-04:002013-03-18T09:25:48.040-04:00The only books I don't review on my blog are o...The only books I don't review on my blog are ones that don't fit my genre. I designed my blog to be strictly YA and while it has evolved to include New Adult and Middle Grade, I won't review erotica or adult novels on it even if I may read those books. If anything I may give them a paragraph or two reaction on Goodreads, but typically no.<br /><br />If there is a valid reason why I don't finish a book, I will review it and say why I didn't finish. I did that for "Poison Princess" by Kresley Cole.

I will occasionally read a biography or something like that but I still review them.<br />It depends how much I read of the book before I give up as to whether I review it or not. I used to have to finish every book, but I soon realised that I don't have enough time to do that, my TBR pile was just ever growing.barmybexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675796776481696322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-9427995689020872562013-03-17T16:46:25.030-04:002013-03-17T16:46:25.030-04:00So lucky that you have reading time in the summer ...So lucky that you have reading time in the summer :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217995773961682662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-50185807448914634492013-03-17T14:23:24.525-04:002013-03-17T14:23:24.525-04:00I typically try to finish books I read, typically ...I typically try to finish books I read, typically out of curiosity, but I may end up skimming the book and will be sure to mention it if it's for a review. If I don't review a book, it's usually because it is outside the reading range of my blog. It may also be because I already have more than enough book reviews scheduled in the coming days. This sometimes happens during the summer because I have so much reading time.Kris @Imaginary Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550965344184687023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-77442035548997015762013-03-17T13:13:27.605-04:002013-03-17T13:13:27.605-04:00I try to make sure I review every book that I read...I try to make sure I review every book that I read, even if I read the book a few months previous! Even though I'm mainly a YA blog, I do review most of the adult books I read, along with the MG books I read as well. I don't really mention the books that I DNF, perhaps I should do a post on the books I DNF every once in a while.Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983050615984011653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-71359802976589220892013-03-17T08:01:28.331-04:002013-03-17T08:01:28.331-04:00I try and review almost all the books I've rea...I try and review almost all the books I've read. For example, if I read a book usually I review it within the month. If the book is too old, then I collect them all and do an Oldies But Goodies post, with a mini-review; if I happened to skip over the book in my review list, then I collect them and do a Late Reviews post; if it's marked DNF then I collect those and do a post. <br /><br />Also, I don't read adult books, but if I do I sometimes review them, but other times I won't.

My blog is YA centric yet I will review adult and middle grade on there if I've read it. There are a few I haven't reviewed (this happened mostly early on), and I honestly don't know how I never did. One I know is because I just didn't like it, but the rest, I have no idea! :PJessica L.

I think it is important to show my readers which books I didn't finish and why :) I used to finish every book, but I'm now much easier. If I don't like a book, I don't end it.<br /><br /><a href="http://thedailyprophecy.blogspot.nl" rel="nofollow">Mel@thedailyprophecy.</a>Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.com
