I'm planning my reading up to three months in advance but do leave gaps for the occasional last minute review, but sometimes I say no and decline requests.Ellesea/Linn Seanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881334953498376948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629942322704340135.post-61052141737101349422018-04-13T08:22:41.569+02:002018-04-13T08:22:41.569+02:00I know that feeling from how I managed my blog whe...I know that feeling from how I managed my blog when I first started out.

I'd hate to let down authors or publishers or requesters because I can't complete a review in the time that they want it to be completed in, though I have had some issues with reviewers thinking I can read their book in a day along with reviewing another 5 that I've accepted. Sometimes it gets hectic!<br /><br />I posted a more indepth response on my own blog if you're interested in checking it out! http://inkblottings.com/book-blogger-hop-april-6th/InkBlottingshttp://www.inkblottings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629942322704340135.post-54731863611080951572018-04-07T21:57:06.926+02:002018-04-07T21:57:06.926+02:00I currently write everything down and try to figur...I currently write everything down and try to figure out if i'll have time to read before the deadline before accepting. I will admit, I've gone pretty wild requesting as of late and now i'm in a tough spot but OH WELL.

You are correct that the publisher, author, PR company depends on us to be professional and responsible.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your answer.
