In fact, my biggest heartache with this one is All Day. I’ve LOVED an ARC… And Didn’t Post A Review For Months. So I confess: I’ve written this scathing review. It’s gotta be a fun post to be read! And fun often means scathing, if the book is really bad. I know I always try to cater to the reader of my blog, and nobody’s just going to read a negative review for the sake of it. What is it about a mean review that feels so bad though? I know I always juggle between “Should I really say what I mean?” and “But what if it is mean to the writer”, and also “But what if it isn’t true to the readers of my blog and the other good books I’ve read?”
(Is this that point where you say a verb so many times you forget its meaning.?) Sometimes I kind of regret reading it, but it’s not really bad enough to receive a scathing review? (Re: We are getting to that sin of blogging) So what I do is I’ll just post a Goodreads review, leave the link on NetGalley/Edelweiss and just… scuttle off and hope for the best. However, sometimes… Sometimes the book is boring as hell not at all what I expected. Most of the time when I get an ARC, I both blog about it and post my review on Goodreads. I’ve Posted Reviews On Goodreads Instead Of Blogging About A Book (I probably have more overdue ARCs than the entire world…) That’s except for 2 or 3 bloggers that I know! I’ve even started a meme to help handle this situation! So if you feel like it’s a sin you’re guilty of, join the rest of us sinners. So basically, I probably have more overdue ARCs than you do. There’s a n evil special day in the month for that and it’s called wrap-up time. Sometimes I look at those numbers, but today? When I’m saying it? I mean, it’s in the double digits. Okay, so we’ve all said Oh my god, I’ve got so many unread ARCs once or twice a lot of times.īut trust me, when I say I’ve got tons of unread ARCs, it’s not the same. When you say overdue ARCs, you’re really saying “I have like two books I should read but haven’t”. I’ve Downloaded ARCs And Haven’t Read Them We are talking about #bookblogger sins today! Sin #1. This time I’m here to talk about 5 Hopefully Not Deadly Sins of Book Blogging (I mean, I’m sure there are more, but that’s where you all come in.) I know I must confess of at least a few! And no, I’m not talking about spilling your coffee on your book or filling the spine up with crumbs (you monster!) Those are awful, we will all agree, but they’re merely #bookworm sins. Anyone running away from this question yet? How’s your #bookish conscience? You know what I mean.
