News: A Quick Note

Due to an abnormally high number of transatlantic flights in my recent past, I've gotten a little too far ahead in my reading.  Unfortunately, my reviewing has not kept pace.  I've been thinking about how to deal with this, because I don't want to keep reviewing all my books on a long delay. My current solution is as follows:

  • I've created two lists on the right "Upcoming Reviews" and "Currently Reading".
  • ...At this point, I've already read all the books on the "Upcoming Reviews" list.
  • Whenever I finish reading a book on the "Currently Reading" list, it will immediately hop up to the top of the to-review list.
  • That way, books I finish now will be reviewed shortly afterwards, and the ones I've let get away from me will still be reviewed, eventually.

Having a plan is half the battle!  Now I just need to get to work on the reflecting and writing. Anyhow, I'm currently working on reviews for both The Magicians and This Immortal, and hopefully I'll also have Strange Toys up before the end of January.

  1. Oh gosh. I feel your pain. It's so hard to catch up once dropping behind in just a couple reviews. Bummer though, I was looking forward to your thoughts on This Immortal...guess I'll just have to wait :)

    1. Thanks for the sympathy! :) I let this get pretty out of hand, but I think I can pull everything back under control. "This Immortal" is still coming soon, though. I was working on reviews for "The Magicians" and "This Immortal" before I came up with my new plan, so I'm hoping to get one or both of them up by this weekend!

    2. Well... "This Immortal" did get pushed back a bit, in the end :/. This weekend was a little more frenetic than expected, so now I'm focused on getting that WoGF review out. It is still coming soon, though, I promise!

  2. I have a big interest in the upcoming review for The Magicians. It's on my list to read soon this year, as well as the sequel.

    1. The Magicians is up on WWEnd now :). I'm making it the start of a review series. I'm going to put it up here tonight, when I get home from work.
