THE GOOD:
- I no longer feel so required to finish books I'm bored by or don't like. In the past I would often continue reading a meh sort of book, knowing that I was going to read it, after the point that it ceased to be interesting to me. Now I don't feel as obligated to keep going with these books and it's easier to put them aside earlier.
- More time. Writing reviews is time-consuming. Now I get to spend that time doing awesome stuff like watching Friday Night Lights and Cute Win Fail videos on YouTube.
- I don't have to think about how someone might respond or react to my reviews.
- I get to focus so much more on those books that I absolutely love.
THE BAD:
- I miss it; I really liked reviewing every YA book I read, in spite of the time it took.
- My blog is unfocused. This, in case you haven't noticed, is something that really bothers me. When I was reviewing I knew who my target audience was - other readers of contemporary YA and MG - but without reviews I honestly don't know if I'm blogging for readers, fellow writers, or just to hear the sound of my own keyboard click-clacking.
- Less blogging material. Just like I don't know who I'm blogging for, I'm also still trying to figure out what I'm really blogging about.
