I have cut down on review requests due to the impending arrival of baby #3 next month but you're right - I have quite a few ebooks for review on my Kindle :)

If you can figure out how to embed the spreadsheet into a blog post, let me know! I tried doing it but it's going to take some time for me to figure it all out.

You are so organized. I'm surprised you don't have more books, but you do have an e-reader.. which reminds me that I need to stop buying books and read more ebooks. I love that idea of having a spreadsheet embedded, although it will take time to set up. I bookmarked that for later to look at and play with.

Thanks for joining us in the reviewathon! :)

I took a crack at the embedded spreadsheet (for my Review page) and it's going to take me some time to figure it out. It's a great idea, it's just a little bit complicated.

I usually post mini reviews only on GR for books in a series in where it's a continual story for the main character. Sometimes those reviews are just a few lines so I don't bother putting them up on my blog.

I like some of your ideas about organization and planning - I could never maintain a spread sheet, but I do use a planner.

An embedded spreadsheet, hm, that sounds like a good idea IF you want a list of reviewed books. Must think about this one. Embedding wouldn't be too hard, I think.

I agree about the paper and pencil. Somehow I always prefer them, too, over electronic devices.

How come you don't post your mini reviews only on GR. Why not post them on the blog as well? They could be a sub-category to your reviews... I would always post everything on my blog before posting on other sites. After all I want people to come to me to see the full content and not to others. Just a thought.

That's what I was thinking - 2-3 reviews a week would be sufficient enough. Hopefully I can keep to that :)

An embedded spreadsheet for a review list would be amazing.

I'm also on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday review schedule, though I usually just stick to Mondays and Wednesdays and use Friday for a multi-purpose day. Sometimes I post reviews, but other times I post a feature or meme. Keeping 2 to 3 reviews per week has kept me ahead of the review game, even through teaching and going to class this summer.
