Happy Monday, bookworms! Today I want to talk about something I do somewhat regularly, but have never mentioned - neglecting to review books that I've read. I do this for various reasons. Sometimes it's because a book doesn't seem like it would fit my blog, other times it's just because I forgot or don't have much to say. Either way there are definitely books I've read in the last several years, but have never mentioned on the blog.
WHOOPS, I FORGOT
The first category are books I kept meaning to review, but just kept forgetting to get around to. Sometimes I even mention them in weekly recap posts, but don't actually write a review post.
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY
This could probably be solved by taking notes while I read, but I've just never felt the urge. I read primarily because I enjoy it and reviewing comes second, so I've never wanted to make the reading process about the review. Unfortunately, that sometimes results in books that I can't think of a review for. Usually this happens with books that I'm bored with... Alternatively, there are books that I feel have had plenty said about them and I don't know what more I could possibly add.
IT JUST DOESN'T FIT HERE
This is primarily a YA book blog, as you probably know. Sometimes I review adult thrillers and horror. Every now and then I might even review an adult contemporary book, but that's about as far out of YA as I go. Still, sometimes I want to read something that is so far into left field that I just don't feel like I should even bother reviewing it. These often include non-fiction and super graphic romance.
Do you review everything you read?
Do you forget or skip books on purpose?
Let me know in the comments!
