I have tried blogging in the past and not been too successful. I've even had a book review blog before. My problem was I felt guilty when I didn't get a book reviewed, but I also started resenting the time I spent working on a review instead of reading. And I didn't feel I added anything to my reviews that hadn't been said a hundred times before.
This time I plan to write mini reviews of some of the books I read. Generally, if I read a book I enjoy it. Life is too short to read or finish reading a book I don't like. I don't love every book and sometimes I'm disappointed with a book, but usually I enjoy the books I read. I do appreciate reviewers who take the time and energy to review all the books they read even the awful ones, but I know that's not my path.
I read genre books--mostly fantasy, science fiction, mysteries and romance. I love to find new authors and that is what convinced me to tackle a blog again. This year I've started reading a number of new-to-me authors and I want to share these authors and books with someone! Since very few people I know personally enjoy the same books I read I will share my thoughts about my reading here. I will see how it goes and whether anyone reads this blog or not this will help me keep track and remember the books I'm reading!
Good luck with your new blog! You've got a great start so far!
