Welcome to another TTT! This week\u2019s topic is Ways in Which My Blogging\/Review Style Has Changed Over Time, and was submitted by submitted by Susan @ Bloggin\u2019 \u2019bout Books<\/a><\/em>. I decided to tweak this a little because there\u2019s no way I can find 10 ways my style has changed. But even this tweaked topic is still a bit of a tricky one for me, as I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve changed much since I started reviewing books waaaaaay back in 2011. But I\u2019ll see what I can do!<\/p>\n

*30 minutes later* Ok, I\u2019m changing this to five ways my blogging habits have changed because this is too hard. LOL<\/p>\n

1. I am pickier about the books I accept for review.<\/strong> I used to accept almost anything I thought I might like because I wanted to get some experience, show that I\u2019m trustworthy, and build a name for myself in the blogging world. I\u2019m pickier now, which helps me keep my reading schedule under control and allows me more freedom to be a mood reader.<\/p>\n

2. I am more willing to DNF books, which means I write way fewer negative reviews than I used to.<\/strong> I used to make myself finish every book in the beginning, even if I wasn\u2019t enjoying it, so I ended up writing more negative reviews. Now that I DNF (and sometimes quickly), I get to spend more time gushing about the books I love and promoting authors rather than talking about why a book didn\u2019t work for me. I love this, and it\u2019s what kept me reviewing all these years later.<\/p>\n

3. I\u2019ve switched up the kinds of books I review!<\/strong> I used to read YA almost exclusively. My reading habits changed, and so did my review habits. I now focus primarily on adult romance, with the occasional mystery and historical fiction novel thrown in here and there.<\/p>\n

4. I quit summarizing the book in my reviews.<\/strong> I actually quit this very soon after I started reviewing. It takes forever and why not just use the summary the publisher paid someone to write in the first place? It helps avoid spoilers, it saves time, it avoids redundancy, and it\u2019s allowed my readers to find my thoughts easily without having to slog through a synopsis they most likely don\u2019t need since they already read the official one (or one written by another reviewer). I really don\u2019t love it when I go to read someone\u2019s review and 95% of the review is their own summary of the book (which is often too detailed and gives away the entire book), followed by a couple generic sentences saying that they either liked it or didn\u2019t. I\u2019d much rather know what you liked and what you didn\u2019t like and why<\/em> you felt that way than read another summary.<\/p>\n

5. I\u2019ve allowed myself to write shorter reviews.<\/strong> I used to think that long, detailed reviews were preferred but then I realized I didn\u2019t like reading long, detailed reviews from other people! And I don\u2019t like writing them myself! Now that I\u2019ve shortened my reviews it doesn\u2019t feel like such a chore to write them\u2026 and I\u2019m writing more. Imagine that!<\/p>\n
