And only positive reviews... ha. I'm with you, I'll always let people know if a book wasn't that good.

I'll always be honest with my reviews as well. I'm not going to write a positive review just to write one. That wouldn't be right.

In my first year blogging I signed up for three and only really stuck with one even though I met the requirements for the others. Nowadays the only one I do is the Goodreads one but that's really easy and requires little effort on my part since I'm always reading and checking Goodreads lol.Kristin A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15763712406760271208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-67096785891070539842014-05-12T17:00:39.643+02:002014-05-12T17:00:39.643+02:00I didn't sign up for the challenge.

I'm just not good at that sort of stuff, where you have to follow a strict set of rules, that you have to read this and that, and for what exactly? bragging rights? I dunno, I'm a free-spirited person :P Pretty laid-back and only read what I feel like reading, whether they were released yesterday or last year or ten years before or will be released tomorrow or in the next 12 months. I'm unpredictable like that haha<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato Reviews</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-27684608708128806922014-05-12T16:55:49.121+02:002014-05-12T16:55:49.121+02:00It's rare that I sign-up for challenges; I fin...It's rare that I sign-up for challenges; I find that they limit what I can & can't read, plus I am horrible at keeping track.

I don't know what happens, but the moment I sign up, my dedication goes right out the window and I never complete whatever it is I set out to do. I'm better off just doing the challenge on my own without officially signing up. I'm ridiculous, I know.

On the other hand, there are a lot of books that you borrow from the library or buy and you want to read those too. ARCs can take too much of your time and then reading starts to feel like a job. With no money!

I try to keep up, but there always end up being review copies that I get approved for that I just don't feel like reading when the time comes.
