This week's question is asked by Elizabeth from Silver's Review blog.
Question:
Do you accept books for review only from publishers or do you accept book review requests from authors as well?
Answer:
Publishers, that is a good one!!! As a small, new blog, I have only really gotten books to review from book tours, Netgalley and a few authors who have contacted me. I could probably have reviewed more, but I am particular about what I read and have some serious time constraints
When I add in the fact that I have a new job with less time to actually read books, my ability to review anything has been cut. I am hoping to start adding some audiobooks in the future. But that is still just an idea I am working on.
How do you budget your reading time?
I'm hardcore about scheduling my review books. I do mainly from pubs now and then a few author requests and then schedule like crazy. They have their own planner and are color coded. ::snort:: Yeah. I totally went all geek girl and raided the office supply store. lol
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job!! That's so exciting :) Well, not the less time to read, but the rest of it's awesome :)
I've so tried knitting and crochet. Whew, I am not gifted in that area. lol I've got these on my tbr list. One day hopefully I'll get to em. They look so good!
ReplyDeleteI have a dry erase calendar on the wall beside my desk. It is color coded to my google calendar. I also have a planner for handwritten notes and lists. I hit the office supply store as well. I love the smell of post-its in the morning, lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks on the job front. I was closer to home with my last job but the hours were so erratic and I ended up doing so much work off job time, I was stressed to the max and never knew if I was coming or going. This job has much more regimented hours and I can walk out the door and leave it all behind. The only problem is that it is farther away from home. But I am going to compensate with audiobooks. :)
I'm curious about blog tours, hope I will have any idea regarding that
