I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl to share this week's top ten list.
I'm going back into the vault to seek out some of my oldest book reviews. I'm sure I did some before I discovered that you could tag your posts and make them easier to find, but these date all the way back to 2011. I'm just going to link back to the original post. Enjoy!
So, at this point in my blogging career, I was only receiving books from Waterbrook. At this point, I'm getting most of my books through Netgalley. I get physical books through Bethany House and Revell, but some of the blogging programs I used to use have shut down.
A couple of things I noticed about my past blogging, I reviewed a lot more nonfiction. I now have a no nonfiction review policy that I rarely break. I also no longer write dedicated reviews. Last year I decided I hated writing long reviews for one book. I never felt like I had enough to say about one book to do whole blog post. Now I just do a monthly wrap up with short reviews for each book I've read.
This was a fun post to write. I've enjoyed looking back at some of my old post and seeing how my book reviews have changed over the years. How do you review books? Let me know in the comments.
I hardly ever read non-fiction either. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I like fiction a lot more :) Speaking of, I'm a Susan Meissner fan, although I haven't liked her latest few as much as I have her earlier books. A SOUND AMONG THE TREES is a good one.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

An Amish Love does sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
When I first started blogging, I wanted to review EVERYTHING I read. Now I review only when I really feel like it and that's like a rare occasion.
