And sometimes I just have nothing interesting to say about a book...even when I liked it. And you're right, sometimes it's very freeing to just read a book and not worry about reviewing it. :DLark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-81398240479416198452017-05-27T14:38:35.712-07:002017-05-27T14:38:35.712-07:00Oh gosh, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I ...Oh gosh, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I find myself especially not wanting to blog books that have already received a ton of hype. What am I going to add to all of that??<br /><br />Last year, I read 131 books and reviewed 87. It's rather freeing to not sit around trying to think of something to write if nothing is coming to mind!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333927782181943347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-64821200826248488522017-05-24T08:12:05.505-07:002017-05-24T08:12:05.505-07:00Totally understand--I don't have something int...Totally understand--I don't have something interesting to say about every single book, and sometimes it's fun to compare/contrast two wildly different books and see what connections you can make. I find GoodReads provides me with an actual record of everything I've read since I joined, but the blog is more for musing.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-69926798566769397932017-05-21T08:56:01.833-07:002017-05-21T08:56:01.833-07:00I review everything I read because my original rea...I review everything I read because my original reason for starting a blog was so that I would have a record of all the books I read, good and bad. I agree that some books are difficult to write about, though, particularly the mediocre ones, so I understand your reasons for only blogging about the ones you liked!

You do this for fun, so do what makes you happy. <br /><br />I pretty much only blog about what I am reading for challenges, which is only about 20+ books a year. So I am even lazier.

Luckily most of the books I read tend to be readable so I rarely have that problem. I think I might not review it if I encounter one.
