Musing Monday

MUSING MONDAYS… is a weekly event where MizB at Should be Reading will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.

This week’s musing asks…
Do you have a system as to which books to read from your “requested review pile? What is it? What about when there are too many to read in a certain time frame? {apologies to those who don’t review}


I actually do have a method to my madness that is blog tours, reviews, etc.  I even keep a little calendar because I want to be as organized as I can, plus I don't want to miss any dates.  So here we go.  For netgalley I will try and read a month before if not at least before the release date unless it's already passed when I receive it, then it goes tot he bottom of the list.  For Blog Tours, the sooner I can read them and plan them the better.  I hate to have to rush to read something, that's not me after all what if I don't like it lol.  Then there's my personal reviews that is not an obligation to nothing, I will just read those in between the ones I have to read for something I signed up for.  Like this weekend I had time and I read two books I didn't need to but had been wanting to and they were good. 

Since I keep the calendar I try not to do too much at once, like this month was just crazy busy with tours and etc and I'm not even done yet.  But I'm getting better at organizing everything.  I hope!

It sounds like you have it under control. I try to be organized but if I could just say NO, I wouldn't be buried in review requests. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great week!!

Since I read for fun and entertainment, I am very selective of the books I choose for requested reading. I also don’t like the stress of having to have a book read by a certain time. That is one of the reasons I started my own personal library so I’m not under a deadline to get a book read. I also love my local library, but don’t check out many books because again I have to read it by a certain date, I am retired and don’t like stress. ; )

Thanks for the visit today at My Reading Corner.

Wow, very organized! I try to be organized, but it never works out for me. I do keep a blog journal where I will write down my blog posts in my free time if I can't do it on the computer that way they are already written I just have to type them up. Thanks for stopping by!

You sound very organized. I try that, but I think saying "no" would be my best bet :)
