It’s time for Musing Mondays, a meme from The Purple Booker!

Musing Mondays is a weekly meme that asks you to choose one of the following prompts to answer and then supplies a random question:

- I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…
- I can’t wait to get a copy of…
- I wish I could read ___, but…
- I blogged about ____ this past week…
I’m Currently Reading:
The Hundredth Queen by Emily R. King.
Because it SO count’s as pink. Because I said so.
We’re going to be a week behind each musing monday as we sadly can’t post on the day anymore but we’re loving the random questions and we will try and get round everyone’s posts when we can!
LAST WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: How do you review your books? Do you review them right away as soon as you finish reading them? Or do you let them wait a bit and do you ever fall behind?
I’d love to review a book right away, as soon as I’ve finished it! But sometimes it’s not practical and sometimes I like to think it over.
What I would LIKE to do, is as soon as I’ve read it, write down my thoughts and ideas then and there then come back in a few days to round it off and schedule it up on the blog. For a time I wouldn’t read the next book until I’d reviewed the one before, so that I wouldn’t get them muddled.
What I ACTUALLY do now is let them build up until I’ve started to forget the book then I sort of just bluff it and give semi-terrible reviews that are somewhat incoherent. Have you noticed? I’m sorry, I’m trying to do better. Right now I have 3 pending…so when I say ‘Currently Reading’ I mean, I will be reading when I write some damned reviews!
How do you work your reviews? Do you do them right away or let them build up too?
