When I'm reading fiction I stick with one book until it's finished, otherwise I would lose the plot...so to speak.yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412546027148386961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180042419611090785.post-11986584043510639762014-02-03T12:37:42.440-06:002014-02-03T12:37:42.440-06:00You're welcome.

This past...Lauryn, thank you for a wonderful post. This past summer, I wrote a review for a friend who asked for one. I angst over writing it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I didn't want to lose my credibility in the review. I let her know what I wrote and sent her a critique privately before I post the review. There were good points, and I told her about them, but I'm not sure if I said the good things in the reviews. I'll be sure to do always in the future.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180042419611090785.post-9794342282234564962013-08-17T09:25:24.805-05:002013-08-17T09:25:24.805-05:00What a great post!

I read one fiction book at a time, I believe the author deserves my full attention if I am going to be writing a review about their book.

I've maybe had two going at a time - if I'm near the end of one that I'm not that into and start something more interesting. But I've seen people on goodreads with like six books on their "currently reading list" and they're halfway through all of them. Once I get into a good book I get too hooked to even think about reading anything else. And on that same note I don't know how people multitask and read. I just can't focus on anything other than my book when I'm reading. Anyway, thank you for commenting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870655865895339100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180042419611090785.post-44983880813111800732013-07-12T08:07:11.564-05:002013-07-12T08:07:11.564-05:0011.

Multitasking and book reviewing are bad partners. It is not fair to authors or readers to pay only partial attention to what you are reading.Kathy Steinemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615116886728982644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5180042419611090785.post-53764757517974736192013-07-10T20:58:49.260-05:002013-07-10T20:58:49.260-05:00lol.
