# of Reviews

[Lori]

How many reviews do your normally get out during the week? How many books do you normally read during the week?

I read in the morning and post at night.

[Dave Rosenthal]

pussreboots, angie, et al: you are amazing. when I started my book blog, I found that I had hardly any time to read books, let alone do reviews! :)

[Lori]

How did you work into it then Dave?

[Dave Rosenthal]

How? I stopped eating and sleeping.

Seriously, I've kept the focus of Read Street on other topics, such as the "social-ness" of reading. Sample posts: "Are you a monogamous reader?", "10 reasons to hate the Kindle," the Stephen King/Stephenie Meyer controversy, and what's happening in Baltimore's literary scene. I do get some reviews in, but they're not nearly as comprehensive as the ones most bloggers write. I truly envy bloggers who are so prolific in their reading and reviewing.

I read faster than I review. I have a backlog of 48 books I want to review.

[Angie]

Thanks Dave. I think I just have more spare time than most people do.

In general I read one book a week and try to get a review up every other week. I do sometimes go through a big burst of reading and then take my time with the reviews so I can post them later. Like right now I'm reading a bunch of Corgi related books but won't have the reviews posted until June for an event. :)

I try to get a writing oriented post up once a week too.

Right now I'm lucky if I get a book a week done. I've stopped accepting ARCs and galleys except for special cases, which has made it easier because I can just use the books I'm reading as research for my writing (of course, that may not interest as many readers as the newer books).

It really just depends on the week. What I have going on in my life. I recently moved, so I have been limping along with one book a week for the last few weeks. Some weeks I read 2-4. And on vacation weeks it is 7-10.

I normally read about 3-4 books a week. My blog is new, but so far I've been reviewing just about everything I read.
