I also find I tend to remember the details of the book better than some of my speed-reading pals. ;)Sarahhttp://iamsarahkohl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495412643745061524.post-66400010406474203342015-11-17T19:48:30.086+00:002015-11-17T19:48:30.086+00:00thanks for the advice, I actually tried to schedul...thanks for the advice, I actually tried to schedule my posts but it never uploaded!!!

Most of us are :) And I do agree with you that it's all about books, friendships, and having fun. <br />Personally, I post several times a week. I do a tuesday meme called Top Ten Tuesday, as well as the Top Five Wednesday. This gives me time to read a book and have a review ready by Friday. I think one advice I can give you is to have scheduled posts. Write several posts in advance and have them schedule to be published in different days, which will keep your blog active but you don't have to sit in front of the computer the whole day :)<br />I also would suggest reviewing books you have read in the past :) Authors love getting reviews, even if their book was published a long time ago. It brings attention again to the book and that's a good thing :)<br /><br />I hope I was able to help you! :) <br /><br /><a href="http://fiddlerblue.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Joan @ Fiddler Blue</a>miharuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299121672515840899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495412643745061524.post-74306901517120060162015-11-12T21:12:29.907+00:002015-11-12T21:12:29.907+00:00Haha..they are speed-readers I guess...I will chec...Haha..they are speed-readers I guess...I will check out your blog, thanks for all the adviceSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677797521670980768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495412643745061524.post-255841564477491792015-11-12T21:11:40.317+00:002015-11-12T21:11:40.317+00:00thanks lets hope I stick to it!thanks lets hope I stick to it!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677797521670980768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495412643745061524.post-91399526496501605122015-11-12T12:16:09.189+00:002015-11-12T12:16:09.189+00:00I'm a slow reader too!

I think we should read at a pace we're comfortable with; it's best to not put too much pressure on ourselves since it can take away all the fun out of the experience. :) Having a routine is definitely a good idea so I think you've got a good plan there! <br />Cillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909017383144456321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495412643745061524.post-26807843710752692362015-11-12T01:28:42.210+00:002015-11-12T01:28:42.210+00:00Hi Sarah -

I'm new at this book blogging thing, too, but I'm in a similar boat to you - I don't have a chance to post as many book reviews as a lot of people seem to do - HOW DO THEY DO IT? I also don't have a ton of readers at the moment, but I enjoy writing other kids of posts and I enjoy reading them, sometimes more than reading actual book reviews...<br /><br />A good friend (and blogger) recently told me - your blog is yours, it can be whatever you want it to be. I've taken that to heart and I try not to stress too much about what I post.<br /><br />good luck with the blog! it's hard to get readers, I know... i just figure we should give it some time, right? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
