They're so well written and thoughtful. I enjoy reading them immensely.<br /><br />And thank you, so much. That made my day. And YOU ARE NOT TOO WORDY.

Reading my own writing just makes me hate myself.<br /><br />And it works! I need to make little buttons with our names to put at the end of reviews because I don't want to take credit for all your hard work and excellent reviews.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996840003306047763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-84407232832216258602013-09-24T08:45:44.136-07:002013-09-24T08:45:44.136-07:00I write notes too!

I read so many books at the same time usually that if I don't take notes not only do I sometimes get multiple books mixed up together but my reviews usually end up being shit.<br />That is so funny because I have a serious aversion to proof-reading my own reviews too. Honestly, I forward them to my mom and she proofs them for me.

It didn't stick the last time, mostly because I'm constantly misplacing my pen and/or notebook, but it's got to be doable.<br /><br />Ummm, yeah, I also do not reread. This is a hobby not school.

Not happening. I'll forget something important or merge two scenes in my mind.<br />4. I do this SO MUCH. Not just discussions, but TTT lists, Jamie's survey, even some reviews... I'm really trying to engage in more discussions but it's so hard because I'm scared everyone secretly hates me.<br />5. Wizardry! Your reviews are always perfect and you don't reread them? <br />6. Huh, we do use different fonts. I just copy my stuff from a word doc, I don't change it. Interesting!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174997031845874289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-76882072637632566472013-09-23T03:14:00.593-07:002013-09-23T03:14:00.593-07:00Ahhhh, what?? I just commented on your site, and t...Ahhhh, what?? I just commented on your site, and the comment box has changed o.o.<br /><br />1. Me too now! When you commented on my book quirks post, I'd said that I didn't use schedules... But I recently changed that and I'm all scheduled through April o.o. Assuming I get approved for some stuff. But mood reading is allowed via the recommendation feature! And since I'm still slightlyyyy ahead. I like that you have days specifically for mood-reaching though; that's nice.<br /><br />2. YEAH YOU READ FAST. o.o. I will remember this during our read-along. (btw, let's schedule another one soon!) It's good to write notes - it'll help for later. That would help me so much if I bothered to do that, but it's only if I remember now o.o.<br /><br />3. "I've been known to write reviews for books weeks after reading." Oohh, me too. I'm about to write a review for Across a Star-swept sea when I read it back in June o.o or July. Can't remember. TV & the interwebs and so many other things get in the way of review-right-after-reading. You're lucky you have your notebook!<br /><br />4. JESSIE, I so identify with the super self-conscious aspect of discussions. Ahhh, you reblogged mine about fantasy on BL -- that one? I felt so bad while replying to the comments. I kept thinking, crap, Christina, you were WAY too harsh; look, that guy linked the post to the YA Writers Reddit board (54 page views from there o.o.). On the comment board there, he said that he was reminded of "Royals" the song and I have no idea what that means o.o. I am totally overthinking things. AND I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE to read your opinions. I very much enjoyed your discussion on the GR changes; I imagine your other bookish discussions -- as happened with our email thread -- would be very thoughtful!<br /><br />5. "I think I sound pretentious and ridiculous." NO NEVER EVER. You always sound so thoughtful! And your reviews are so well written! Seriously, you are one of the bloggers with reviews that I aspire to write. (But also know I could never do, because I am WAY too wordy).<br /><br />6. Yep! I love the way you format your reviews. You're very good at writing blurbish summaries in the beginning. :)<br /><br />DAMN and here I was, hoping that you'd post something about dog-earring books so that I could link you back to the gingerbread man.Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.com
