You still have 10 days to sign up... it doesn't have to be a rigid thing to follow if you do sign up.

Lol. My reviews are shorter and shorter as time goes on, and I'll read a review from another blogger of the same book and wish that I would've pointed out more (like they did) of the reasons I loved the story. Oh well. I do use the library a lot with my audio book reads, and those are usually books I just want to read for me, not a review. Good luck with all your goals! :)Rachel @Waves of Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008473307411943476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-79878612050578224762020-01-02T16:01:00.054-08:002020-01-02T16:01:00.054-08:00I love this list.

It's all about remembering why we started reading in the first place. I think sometimes that book bloggers too easily - and too often - lose sight of the fun aspects of reading and start worrying too much about deadlines and the like.

With some books, the review writes itself, but with others.... And I know what you're saying about the Back to the Classics challenge.
