Blogger Hop

Hosted by Jen at Crazy-For-Books.

Thanks for stopping by, this is my first time participating in this blog hop.

This week's question: 

When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?

I always wait until I've read the entire book to write my review.  Sometimes I'll take notes or write down a quote or page number I want to refer back to, but I don't do that very often.  I also can't write a review as soon as I finish a book.  I usually (but not always, it depends on the book) need a day or two for the book to sink in and collect my thoughts.

Have a great weekend!
