Good morning fellow book lovers! I can’t tell you how good I feel. But – of course I will try…. 😀
After the craziness and business of life recently I have reached a week of four days in a row – YES! Four Days in a row that I have no commitments after work. A moment of silence please for my sanity 🙂 WOO HOO!!! This means that I can:
Christmas shop at my leisure
Go to the grocery store without feeling rushed
catch up on reviews, memes, things I wanted to check out
READ.
😛
So…. this morning I was putting the finishing touches on a review of Round House that I wrote for the her Voice Magazine. I also wanted to send in my review of Insurgent by Veronica Roth as it was placed in the best of 2012 by Goodreads. So I do a search for my Insurgent review. AND I search. I find it in my Monday What Are You Reading post as a “to be read”, I find it in another morning post on my deck while I was reading it. But alas – no review. 😯 Seriously, I forgot to review it.
Please, please tell me that has happened to you.
In other not so craziness, this morning I started listening to 14 by Peter Clines and I am thrilled. Sometimes audio takes a while for me to get in the rhythm of the read, but this one started out with a real good vibe, I liked the narration right away, and the story line and I literally had a smile on my face this morning as I listened.
So that’s my morning meandering. Hope all is going smoothly in this week before Christmas for you.
Oh, and if you are a reviewer – and you have forgotten to review a book… please share. I could use the “OOPS!” Company. 😀
Book Journey 
Ummm. Yes, maybe once or twice. I once wondered why an author I thought was a sweetheart hadn’t mentioned the glowing review I had given his book, then I found the review in the draft sections of my website. I’ve also “forgotten” to review a book which was quite dull but the publisher (the author’s wife) was lovely and I didn’t have the heart to be mean to her.
Yes, I have done that a couple of times! I try to go through my monthly reading record to double check and see if I’ve kept current with my book thoughts!
yep! when I first started my blog I set up a few placeholders for reviews I wanted to do and then realized that I never did them (2+ years later)…lol!
Have fun with your down time! 😀
I try not to forget a book tour I’ve scheduled a review for, and so far I haven’t. But there could always be a first….Glad you caught the Oops!
I’m sorry to report that I haven’t….but only because my pattern is to review right after I finish reading. And, to be fair, I don’t have the crazy life you have! lol
Something invariably slips through the cracks when you’re crazy-busy.
This time of year can get so frantic. I’m glad to hear you have found a bit of free time to regroup!
It’s not crazy, it’s being busy! Maybe you need a checklist somewhere, like a To Blog, and then you can add the book as you finish it. That way, you won’t forget! But honestly, what’s the worst thing that happens if you do forget? Nothing! So you’re good either way! 🙂
Ah, Sheila, you’re human and you’re striving for perfection. Bless you, doll, and take care of yourself!
yes, yes I have. Enough that I have a read but not reviewed list on my blog {blush}
I have almost forgotten to do a review but now that I have been almost eliminated review books for 2013 I hope to not have that happen! I hope you enjoy your 4 days!! 😀
I don’t know if I’ve forgotten to review a book, but I do procrastinate or skip long reviews on books I don’t feel like writing about. I do sometimes forget to read review books though, but that’s not quite the same thing 🙂
I have good intentions of reviewing a book as it releases, but many of those just don’t happen until a few months later sadly. I don’t do scheduled tours for that very reason.
I’ve not forgotten, but there are ones I read a few months ago that I’ve not reviewed yet. Started setting up one, but then got in a funk.
Not quite forgotten but decided not to write and regretted it later. And the issue is when you’ve outright decided not to you’ve no notes so it’s pretty impossible to write one later. Hoping this note thing isn’t the case for you and you remember enough about the Roth to write about it if you wish to!
I have forgotten to review a book that I read from the library, but not an advance copy. However, I have started to write reviews a couple of times, only to realize that I have already written the review and posted it a few weeks prior. It’s a relief when I realize that, but then I wonder what is becoming of my memory.
I don’t usually forget to review something because I start a review post as soon as I finish a book. I save it as a draft, but often procrastinate for a looooooooooooooong time before I actually write the review!
Not with books received for review…but the books I buy or get from the library are regularly pushed down the to-review list 😦 I hope to change that in 2013 because there are so many gems that I never took the time to review.
Yes – It has happened to me. As I mentioned on the It’s Monday comment I was surprised to go back and find I didn’t put up a review for One Second After. I have to check my word files because I remember it in my head! 🙂
I’m a bit late chiming in… (I really meant to respond before this) yup, I’ve forgotten to write up a book once or twice. Obviously there are times I plan to do something and it gets forgotten; like responding to this post 😉
