Does anyone write about chapbooks in blogs?

Chapbooks can be just as good, it seems, and in need of just as much publicity, if not more. I'd think they would also take less time to read and write about so you could keep up your weekly quota more easily, and be less expansive to give away, including shipping.  Do you stick to full length books only, or include the shorties in there as well? There are dedicated chapbook reviewers, but.....bloggers?

I review chapbooks in my blog. They aren't the majority of what I review but they are part of the mixture.
That's refreshing. What would you say is the main thing that makes you decide to consider reviewing a book, and then --reviewing a book?

I've featured exactly one book which I think counts as a chapbook: Pep Talk

I like all "shorties," and even joined a bi-weekly carnival for short story reviews until its host cancelled it due to lack of popularity. =(

The only reason I don't discuss chapbooks more often is that I only have one! (Most of the books I write about are those I already own; I rarely review stuff that's new to me.)
It's fun you even blog your dreams!
I don't post about chapbooks too often, unless its part of a larger series I'm reviewing/interested in or if I'm featuring an e-book publishers.

Its not that I don't like them, I just don't read a whole lot of them on their own. Also it always seems like I'll enjoy one, but want more and it gets tiresome to post that in every single review (even if its true) as my only complaint.
I guess that's part of the reason behind a chapbook, eh, the tease that makes someone want to go buy the completed collection when it comes out.
