When something you've enjoyed doing becomes a chore, it's time to cut back before you completely burn out. I've taken a liking to that little post to blog feature at Goodreads. I use it when I'm being lazy, not that I really write long reviews. I'm good to get a sentence out most of the time. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-46320989037726160922011-11-16T15:19:33.274-05:002011-11-16T15:19:33.274-05:00Seems perfectly logical to me.

Plus I can get on-line at work, however blogger no longer supports IE at work so I can't do any posts. Oh well. <br /><br />I do get the reading done, just the idea of writing something up is kind of "blah" even though I can be as freestyle as I like. I think just doing the odd one except for a short blurb at GR will help.

Yum.<br /><br />I honestly don't know how you keep up with everything in blogworld and have a full time job. I'm in awe, really. I know what you mean about have an overwhelming list of books to review. I have several on my list for my own blog and I'm not even getting any time to read them let alone review *sigh*.<br /><br />BER is definitely my main commitment though and I love how I can read the shorts for that quickly :).Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-89083470530508340582011-11-14T23:04:12.299-05:002011-11-14T23:04:12.299-05:00I'll likely put them in GR this week, when I k...I'll likely put them in GR this week, when I know I only have to write a couple of sentences vs something coherent it seems easier.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-17397135966580619242011-11-14T22:35:23.183-05:002011-11-14T22:35:23.183-05:00But you should definitely write at least a sentenc...But you should definitely write at least a sentence or two, just for yourself.

...Ah, distraction. It's a wonderful thing. :-)<br /><br />I have about 8 books waiting in the wings that I've read, and the idea of doing reviews for them is just overwhelming and underwhelming I suppose.
