I've had plans to do some book reviewing on here... or perhaps I should say that I've had the best of intentions... lately. In fact, I have a stack of about fifteen books I'm trying to get through at the moment. I've read three in the last three days. And each time I put one down (if I don't throw it across the room), I sit down at my computer to write a blog review.

But I just can't.

Why, you ask? Because I don't have anything good to say about them. I eventually head over to Goodreads and post a short review (where I try to say the nicest things I can possibly say) about them. And I might link it to this blog, but probably not.

I don't want to badmouth books. I know there are a lot of review sites out there who post negative reviews, and I've admitted on here that I like to read them. Some of them are absolutely hilarious. And two of them (remember Pregnesia and Mr. Interstellar Fellar?... yeah...) actually made me want to buy the book, even though they were scathing--and I mean scathing--reviews.

Mostly, though, it's that once I'm finished with a book I don't like, I just don't want to think about it anymore. I'm lucky if I can sit down at my computer and remember the name of the book I just read and hated. I don't really want to talk about it, let alone blog about it. Generally, even a few sentences for Goodreads puts me off my moment, and I need to go pick up Rules of the Wild and get the taste of that other book (whatever it's called) out of my memory.

What about you? Do you find that you'd like to review books one way or the other? Do you like reading reviews where the reviewer ultimately doesn't recommend the book to anyone? What's the last book you read that you really liked? If you follow a book reviewer, would you rather know what they think of a particular book, regardless of whether they liked it or not? Which do you tend to remember more: the books you've loved, or the books you've hated?

Well, I'm off to post a short review on Goodreads, and then back to reading. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, dear reader, on the above questions. It will be good food-for-thought for me, and I always love hearing comments from you!
