Most of my posts are written and ready to go WAY before I actually post them. But with reading, I try to go with my mood. And with commenting/visiting other blogs/responding to emails I just do those whenever, no set time or day or anything.Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-37344523790339253752017-05-25T08:17:27.577-04:002017-05-25T08:17:27.577-04:00Damn Karen, 8 years?

Pantsers, unite! I remember reading an ARC in January for a book that isn't coming out until the end of this month and writing the review right after I finished it; that's literally the only time I've planned reviews ahead of time.

Like you, I choose to read the books I know I'd enjoy, and refuse the pressure to read the ones I don't like. So far I enjoy most of them. It's been fun. Blogging/writing what we want is a great strategy, Karen. Thanks for sharing this. This is SO helpful for us newbies. <br /><br />PS: I love your blog. You're so fun!!

I do sit down on Sundays and get all of the formatting of my posts done for the week but the actual reviews are always a last minute thing. It's what works for me. I think the key is to have fun with it and back off a bit when it stops being fun.Carole's Random Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737905249530702688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-36941828427327254852017-05-23T18:24:27.930-04:002017-05-23T18:24:27.930-04:00I think the cutting down on ARCs has helped me a t...I think the cutting down on ARCs has helped me a ton the past year plus!LilyElementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04791827655749184355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-7807016651472819992017-05-23T17:19:00.212-04:002017-05-23T17:19:00.212-04:00I have!

I do try to visit my faves daily though.<br /><br /> My favorite part of blogging is interaction with others and it got me down when so many of my friends left so I'm really happy to have found a lot of new bloggers this past month or so. It's given me the boost I needed.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-17877860334637194292017-05-23T17:16:35.597-04:002017-05-23T17:16:35.597-04:00Thanks.
