Hah, I know what you mean. Reviewing *is* work. You've been reviewing for a while so I'm sure you've gotten faster with it over time, but it still takes me hours.

For me, it takes some time to think about the structure of a review, what to focus on and what not to focus on, write a draft, and then edit out the less necessary stuff. I need some time before the first draft and later revisions to make sure that the review carries the correct tone, which is why I'm currently sitting on three drafted reviews. For now, I'm sticking to an every-10-days schedule so my blog can survive through my own reading and reviewing slumps.

I think I've read on the Simon Royle website that you try to review books immediately after finishing them. Have you been making notes as you've been reading like crazy? I'm just curious about how you keep track of it all with your prolific reading/reviewing skills @_@
