I don't have a set time after finishing a book. Sometimes I automatically pick up another (especially if it's the next book in a series) and sometimes I can go a day but it usually just depends on my mood and the book itself of course.
I also don't really plan ahead. I have a general stack of books that I need to read for my book clubs before the month is out and most of the time I concentrate on that. I have TONS of books that I own that I haven't gotten around to reading because my library books come first.
I would love to be able to review right after I finish a book but I'm currently reviewing the books I read in July at the moment. I do take notes when I finish a book about what I thought etc. since it will be months before I get around to actually writing it.

Wow - it's a good thing you take notes! I couldn't even begin to write a review now of a book I read in July. :)
ReplyDeleteIt depends on my mood too, but most of the time I picked another one up right away. And I take notes too!
ReplyDeleteI don't take notes, but I do stick tags on books that I find the passages interesting so that I can share them via my reviews.
ReplyDeleteI should take more notes than I do.. often I don't and then I'm sorry because I need to spell names right and such lol
ReplyDeleteI might have to do this little muse
Carrie: You should see me trying to scramble together something when I forget to take notes lol!
ReplyDeleteNymeth: I do tend to not wait long between books. Two days at the most.
Melody: I really should start doing that too.
DesLily: Lol. It's a pain for me to try to remember anything other than I liked it or not after a couple of months so I have to take notes to get down my impressions quickly.
I need to start taking notes as I'm behind in reviews as well. Luckily, I'm only about 4 books behind rather than months but I still struggle to remember some of the details that I planned on sharing when I read the book.
ReplyDeleteIf I dont start my review as I'm reading the book, I'll forget to review it :P

I pick up another book right away once I finished the one I'm reading. I kind of plan for my next read but it's subject to my mood as well...
ReplyDeleteI write my review immediately after finishing the book. The most I wait is an hour to write the review. I used to write them the next day but I find the story is fresher in my mind if I write the review right after finishing the book.
ReplyDeleteI start planning my next book when I am halfway through the one I am reading. Depending on due dates for my review books what I WANT to read may have to change according to what is due next.
If I have the option of chosing what I am reading next then... I have a ritual of taking all of my review books out my drawer and sitting on the floor and looking through each one deciding what to read next.
Oh and yes I said drawer not book shelf. My book shelves ran out of room which resulted in me using my clothes drawer for now!! LOL
