I find that I come up with so many ideas of what I want to say as I finish the book but then I put off writing the review and forget it all. So I have started writing notes as I go along. It has been a bit help. <br />Hope you are able to find a better solution that works for you.

I only review four and five star books on my blog, so many times that mini review is the only review for some books. I write it in a way that can be used for Amazon, Netgalley, Edelweiss and Barnes and Noble. I just copy and paste the Goodreads mini-review. For my blog reviews, I usually start the draft right away, it might only be a couple of words or a gif, but having the draft staring at me everytime I go to compose other drafts helps me remember that I need to do it. Good luck! :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565595843398547457.post-65594110465492408002015-10-04T06:47:07.777-07:002015-10-04T06:47:07.777-07:00I have to admit I don't have this dilemma at a...I have to admit I don't have this dilemma at all, I am very strict with myself about when i write my reviews. My review progress is basically, finish a book, write a review for it on goodreads and schedule it on the blog the next day, but at least before startign a new book. I don't allow myself to start a new book before I have written a review for the previous one, as else I know I can't remember anything. I don't take notes while reading, so writing reviews soon after finishign the book is the only way to make sure I don't forget what happened and what I wanted to mention. I know for some poeple notes are a big help when writing reviews later.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565595843398547457.post-42608354685593314072015-10-04T02:30:54.177-07:002015-10-04T02:30:54.177-07:00I try to write reviews asap but some always get le...I try to write reviews asap but some always get left on the long finger. I do keep notes though so it's that big of a deal when I get around to writing them as I know roughly what I want to say. I know making notes sounds like a chore but it only takes a few minutes and it's a great way of locking away those thoughts until you are in a writing mood.Trish @ Between My Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517849083417759188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565595843398547457.post-10035383012084902952015-10-03T18:08:24.365-07:002015-10-03T18:08:24.365-07:00I'm with Cait, I usually write my review withi...I'm with Cait, I usually write my review within minutes of finishing a book, otherwise I forget too much! There are times when I don't have the option to write a review right away, so I have the Writer app on my phone, I won't write a whole review but just a few talking points and maybe a few sentences if I think of them at the time.

I pretty much have a calendar and I read in that order, which sucks sometimes - but it helps with staying organized. Then when I have about 5 or 6 books read from the calendar I do a review. This has helped me to stay super organized and give better reviews because they are still fresh in my mind.

Since I do most of my reading at night I tend to finish a book right before I go to bed and think over what I want to say before I fall asleep and then write the review in the morning. The times I have been on vacation and have read several books without reviewing I'll write a few notes so that I can remember the book. I also use a form which makes reviewing a whole lot easier for me!

Or else I just forget too much stuff, within, like, MINUTES and it's such a problem. *facepalm* So yes. That saves me. hehe.<br />Thanks for stopping by <a href="http://www.paperfury.com" rel="nofollow">@ Paper Fury!</a> CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
