My Favorite... Moment To Write My Reviews
It has been awhile since I wrote a proper review.
I type my thoughts in notepad as a first draft and then I edit it from there before it goes live on Goodreads. Then, I either publish it on Jackie's Bookbytes OR Jackie's Forget Me Nots and sometimes tweet about it. When I do write a review, I generally write down what I thought about the book and what I want to say
right after I finish reading it. The more I like the book, the easier it is to write about. If I didn't like the book it meant I wasn't really paying attention enough and/or it wasn't interesting enough which leads to no review.
When the book is still fresh in my mind and has left its mark on my soul (lol), I feel that's a good moment. When I remember what I liked about it and can easily process my thoughts, then, that is when it is a good moment for me to write about it. Otherwise, I soon lose interest in the book and my feelings and emotions are soon forgotten.IDK. I want to capture how the book made me feel, in my review. At least I try. I never am good at remembering names, places or details very well, so there is a bit of time to get all the facts straight but in general,
I write my reviews (thoughts) right after I read the book whether it is night or day.
So true. When I enjoyed a book it's so much easier to write a review. And when I'm able to I'll try to write my review right after finishing the book.Thanks for joining and sharing this weeks favorite.
ReplyDeleteBTW.. love your banner. ;)
I write mine as soon as I can after reading the book too. (At least usually.)
ReplyDeleteI really want to do better about writing my reviews as soon as I finish the book. Sometimes it's a few days or more until I get the chance to write the review.
ReplyDeleteI have come to love the highlight feature for ebooks. I highlight names, years, locations, relationships, and other oddities mentioned (like a past historical bit about a character or family). When I sit to write my reviews, I just pull up the list of highlights and roll through as I write so I don't miss anything. Even if I didn't like a book, I can usually articulate strong reasons why. There have been a few I couldn't. I am really bad at writing reviews in a timely manner, though, often going a month (or possibly more) to write reviews lately.
ReplyDeleteI need to start taking notes while reading, I have a horrible time remembering things. I've been tagging books for awhile, but I have no system to that. This year I'm going to try to write a review before I move onto my next book. So far that isn't working so well.
