Do you overextend yourself with too many reviews because you can't pass up a book in hopes you will get them all done or do you carefully plan and be sure you can fulfill the deadlines for all the promised reviews?Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews
Yes?
I've been struggling to finish any book to review right now. I do have a bit of a backlog on netgalley and finally had to give up on a couple.
I would love to be that person who carefully plan out and fulfill all the deadlines.

I plan ahead and do meet the deadlines.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will get caught up with everything.
ENJOY your weekend.
It's really easy to get behind, it can take a lot of time to read and review. I definitely know the feeling.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday! haha I get so behind as well...
ReplyDeleteI need to try out Netgalley, I have been hearing great things about it. I had to stop accepting honest reviews from authors coming to me because of the pressure (and the drowning feeling of getting behind on reviews!) so I wish you all the luck and I hope you catch up soon! :) Have a great weekend Shannon!
ReplyDeleteMy Book Blogger Hop!
I do like NetGalley, but it's a bit of a hole you throw yourself into and continue to dig deeper.
DeleteI have still not found the right way to balance requesting.
If you are autoapproved, it's a little easier. When requesting you can get turned down or approved and you have no idea what it will be. And sometimes they take forever to approve or reject you!
I do like the site, it's just hard to balance what you have little control over.
I get behind on reading and reviewing all the time. I just don't have much time to read. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently drowning in arcs. I just can't resist all the goodies!!
ReplyDeleteI had to do that as well. I really need to find the right balance.
DeleteI try to plan ahead and meet the deadlines so I don't get overwhelmed and panic, and I hate saying I'll complete a review and then not be able to. But sometimes it gets a bit hectic and it's really easy to fall behind on reviews
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to carefully plan and fulfill, too! We just have to do what we can do. ;)
ReplyDeleteNetgalley used to be my kryptonite but I've learned to manage it better now.
