Comments on: My Year in Books for 2019, plus Goals for 2020 https://novelvisits.com/my-year-in-books-for-2019-plus-goals-for-2020/ Tue, 07 Jan 2020 18:06:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: booker talk https://novelvisits.com/my-year-in-books-for-2019-plus-goals-for-2020/#comment-41741 Tue, 07 Jan 2020 18:06:20 +0000 https://novelvisits.com/?p=8819#comment-41741 I never thought about taking a book out of the library just to do an Instagram photo – good idea though because you get the photo you want and the author gets the benefit at least in the UK of the public lending rights payment. Double whammy.

I’m not the best person to ask about how to deal with procrastination with reviews – it takes me ages to write them so I have a large backlog….

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Susan. I like reviews, too, so won’t let those go.

Almost all my ARC’s are from NetGalley or Edelweiss. I get few print copies which has become a frustration with Instagram.

You have a great 2020, too.

I’m shocked that your ebooks have gone up so dramatically, but it makes sense. They’re generally easier to get a hold of in a timely manner.

I don’t plan on stopping or even slowing down my blogging, but just realize that there are other platforms I value, too.

Thanks, Diane. I already posted my favorite reads of 2019. It’s a couple posts back from this one.

I’m one of the old fogies who still likes the book reviews … reading & writing them. Detailed reviews help me as a more in-depth way to remember the book (which is why I started blogging) but I try to be very careful not to give too much away. I will find you on Instagram. You get a lot as Arcs …. are they from Netgalley or direct? Good luck in 2020!

I have some similar ones, I’d also like to grow my Instagram account!

Two years ago I was almost nothing but print. I have officially gone to the dark side. The only major difference for us is that the source of my books is split almost evenly between ARCs and the library.

Your IG game has gotten so strong! I think your photos and graphics are great.

I’m sorry that reviews don’t seem to do so well. I realize we’re moving into a pretty photos world, but I enjoy reading yours and they do shape my reading. I hate to see blogging fall by the wayside, but guess I’ll be the old crone who just keeps writing even if no one is reading.

Happy New Year to you and yours.
