My goals for this blog:
1. promote books2. give myself some reminders about what the book is about
3. offer some thoughts about the style, story, characters, my relationship with the book
Obstacles I sometimes have writing this blog:
- I just don't know how to articulate my thoughts & feelings.
- I mostly read books I like, therefore, my thoughts seem the same: "great book," "I enjoyed the story," "the characters are wonderful," etc.
- I think the reader just has to experience the book.
- I read books faster than I can blog about them, or
- I sometimes take months to read (or listen) to a book, so it looks like I'm not reading because there's lag time between posts, or
- I am reading several books at one time (pieces here and there), or
- I want to read an entire series before writing about it.
- I forget to include pivotal plot points (see note above about the reader experiencing the book). I've found that I don't always include the scenes that readers may have wanted a warning about (such as a character's death).
- Should every book I read be included?
Solutions:
1. Quit the blog. (Nope, I don't like this one!)
2. Just post biographical info, cover picture and make this more of a list (Then why blog?).
3. Stop stressing about the thing and just keep doing what I'm doing.
4.
