- I don’t always remember to write a review after finishing the book. My memory isn’t what it used to be.
- I copy the same template for all my reviews. My reviews would be a mess if I didn’t structure them.
- I forget some details. Sometimes I’ve even looked up the protagonist’s first name.
- I don’t take notes while I read. Maybe I should.
- I love reviewing physical books. More often than not, they’re fiction. But hopefully one day, I’ll get around to reading more nonfiction.
- I finish every book. I feel like it isn’t fair to the author or potential readers if I only read and review half the novel.
- I use the same phrases in my reviews. There are only so many ways to say I recommend a book.
- I don’t write in books. I can’t do it. At most, I’ll write on a sticky note to mark a specific passage or page.

Don’t take notes while you read. It will just limit you in deciding what’s important and what’s not. If something is important, it’ll come up enough times that you will remember it with at least a general impression. THEN if you have to look back to get a name or a detail, you can. Granted this is not as easy on a Kindle.

That’s good advice. I agree with you. Important things tend to be repeated and stick with you. Do you prefer ebooks or physical books?

physical books, but at my late age, I’m learning to love my Kindle and recorded books

I hear you. I prefer physical as well. There’s nothing quite like turning the pages. Happy reading!

Turning pages and finishing chapters as welll as finishing a book all bring me a sense of satisfaction/accomplishment.

This is all me. I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets to write the review right away or often times forgets a character’s name, lol.

Haha. You’re not alone. I blame my bad memory. 😛
