And if Amazon Vine would just accept me already, I would have PLENTY of time to work on their stuff...

Sometimes I'll add the disclosure notice above my signature. That way I can go into edit posts and see all that I am obligated to review at a glance for months ahead instead of just one month.Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-56266889860275234732010-08-09T15:09:47.988-04:002010-08-09T15:09:47.988-04:00Ann, I can't really say what I do...because I ...Ann, I can't really say what I do...because I don't always do the same thing.

I also have all my review books in one stack with the next one I need to get done on top. If I feel I have enough time to get in another book, then I pick from my ever-growing tbr pile, which is now spread out on 2 shelves of my bookcase. I try not to go the the library when I have so much to read, because like you, I always end up leaving with more than what I went in for!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361326880689146372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-38412030254644996392010-08-09T13:20:41.379-04:002010-08-09T13:20:41.379-04:00I do keep a calendar for my blog posts, but I hate...I do keep a calendar for my blog posts, but I hate structure. I like to run amuck with my reading, and I often feel that I can't.

I enjoyed your answer, but still don't quite know what you do. I think your last line answered the question, you have to read what you want to read. ; )<br /><br />I usually read a different genre back- to- back. I get to bored to keep reading the same genre, I like them mixed up, a little romance, a mystery, maybe a classic, etc. But this winter I plan on reading a Debbie Macomber's "A Good Yarn" series back-to-back, starting with the first and reading them in order. But, that remains to be seen. Gigi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092019687497845746noreply@blogger.com
