Hopping Away and Follow Friday!



















A Very Big Welcome

Welcome to any visitors who got here through the weekly Book Hop (a Book Party) organised by Jennifer @ Crazy for Books or Follow A Book Blog Friday hosted by Parajunkee's View so that book bloggers can share their blog with other book lovers and also find new blogs to 'follow.' To get involved all you have to do is post your blog link at the bottom of the 'linky list' on Crazy For Books and/or Parajunkee's View, answer the weekly question (for the hop) on your blog and get hopping around and following all the blogs!

This weeks Book Hop question/topic is: When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?

My answer: I don't start writing reviews before I have turned the last page of the book but I often tend to think about things that I am going to include in my review or try to remember a good extract to include. I usually write the review within a few days of reading it so that it is still fresh in my mind but if I am reviewing a book that I read a while ago I try and familiarise with it again by flicking through before I start writing.

New posts since hopping last week:

Review: Cotillion by Georgette Heyer
Waiting on Wednesday: Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
Teaser Tuesday: Deeper Than Blue by Jill Hucklesby
Calling all budding young writers and their friends and family!
BBAW: Future Treasures


I hope that you enjoy taking a look round my blog and. I'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to drop me a comment. This week I have reached 156 followers and I am hoping that I can gain over 150 this week so that I can launch my first ever giveaway!
 
Don't forget to leave a link to your blog in a comment so I can check it out :D


Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

    Hey Stephanie,
    Travelling through on the Hop , Im an old follower :). I am dying to read Wildthorn, It looks good. I enjoyed Loveing Will Shakespeare by Carolyn Meyer. Im about to review one that you might like called "The Other Countess" Eve Edwards- It's like Phillippa Gregory for Teen Girls.

    I think the slower the book is the more I think about it as I read... because if it's really amazing, I'm thinking about nothing but the story!

    I'm the same way, I think it's only fair to finish the book first before I write the review! Usually I have to write it really soon after reading or I start forgetting things though :)
