Saves you the trouble.<br /><br />I try and look at reviews AFTER I write my own because it affects my opinions so much and can completely change my inital thoughts of the books.<br /><br />DONT GET ME STARTED ON FORMATTINGIlsa Nitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11679449570969203787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-81467053267792922692017-08-08T06:08:22.627-05:002017-08-08T06:08:22.627-05:00Gosh, how damn relatable this is!Gosh, how damn relatable this is!Maryamhttp://infinitelyadaydreamer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-53753186159742354332017-08-07T08:01:42.346-05:002017-08-07T08:01:42.346-05:00yay! glad to see that you're back!

I always try to give it a star rating and at least post my initial thoughts right after it's read, but I will rarely write more than a paragraph these days. I try to instead post pretty consistent updates while I'm reading. <br /><br />And yeah, formatting on blogger is...difficult, to say the least. I just switched to Wordpress earlier this year. It still has its kinks, but I think it's more user-friendly.

I'm always so indecisive about rating and reviewing books, and sometimes when I liked the book, I read other reviews and realize that they're right, and then change my rating/review.Julianna @ Paper Blotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469243857302981718noreply@blogger.com
