This week's question is: 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?
(submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)
MY ANSWER: I guess I plan carefully. I will only agree to review a book if it's one I am really interested in. I've come to the knowledge that it's okay to pass on a book. Sometimes I am getting offers to review a book that's not even inside my genre preference! And when they are, I carefully consider whether it sounds like one I would want to read.
I always try to give those books priority when at all possible. Sometimes I might have to break up my planned reading queue, but that's not too difficult all things considered.
The thing about requesting books is that I don't know if I will get approved, and my requests will be in limbo for so long, that I give up. And then BAM! I have 30 review books for March. I really do want to read them all, but I am working on requesting less.
