Challenge #5:
In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do

Writing book reviews for every book that I like

I love reading, but I am not good at explaining why I love the books. I didn't have much energy to track my reading either. I will try to record my thoughts in this blog from now on.

Comments

I feel you :'D Book reviews are something I feel the urge to do while reading, yet after I've set down the book, they never manifest hahahah.

If only the book reviews could write for themselves!

You are me and I am you. I write TV and movie reviews, but books? My brain can't figure out if we liked it or not. I wonder if it's because once you get to the end, that's...it? And when something is over it can be hard to go back and collect all your thoughts on it. Maybe a rolling review is good idea? Leave notes in the bookmarks (or wherever) and gather them at the end? :)

Book reviews are more intimidating to me because I keep thinking that I didn't do the book justice. Thanks for your suggestion!

I really like story graph for tracking. It's pretty easy to use, and if I forget what I've read in the last week, at least I have a list.

A lot of people here seem to just record the titles of what they read, and then add comments when they have them, rather than trying to comment on everything.

I would love to see your book thoughts <3

The interface of Story Graph looks really clean and easy to use. Thank you for the link!

Excellent! I also have troubles with articulating just what about a book that does it for me. 😭😭

This seems to be sadly common.
