It's been three and a half months since I last participated in the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books. She's updated the process and now includes a question of the week similar to the Booking Through Thursday weekly meme.
This week's question comes from Elizabeth who blogs at Silver's Reviews.
When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?
I never write a review before I finish reading a book. Actually, I don't write many reviews. I think it's because I keep flashing back to book reports in the fifth grade and how they ruined the pleasure I had in reading a book with the addition of the chore to write a report. And yet, I really appreciate a well-written review—particularly one which doesn't just reiterate the plot of the book but which also draws you in and makes you really want to read the book. Maybe I should work on this?
An on-going aspect of the Book Blogger Hop is that participants are asked to "hop" over to other blogger's sites and check them out. I will visit at least three other blogs and then post on Monday who I visited and what I saw. Meanwhile, if you're reading my blog because of the Hop, welcome.
I never write reviews before I finish a book, either. I try to write a review for every book I read, but that almost always never happens. :/ I tend to jot things down while I'm reading, though, so I don't forget what I wanted to include in a review. :P
