Reading Updates idea

I thought I’d try out an idea I’ve seen on a few other blogs. I’ve only posted four book reviews and they were so short they probably can’t really be classed as proper reviews, more like a couple of comments. This is an approach I feel comfortable with, I’m not a book critic or professional reviewer. I don’t generally receive ARCs of books, so virtually all the books I read I buy myself so don’t feel obliged to review them. One look at my Books Read page shows I’m very far behind with the individual reviews, which may well indicate a lack of enthusiasm for the whole idea (that and finding time), plus there’s no shortage of much better book reviewers out there in the blogosphere.

With all that in mind I thought I might try posting a reading update every couple of weeks with a few comments, positive or negative, on what I’ve been perusing. This should help to provide a bit more detail to the pics at the top right of the blog; I may even dispense with that part all together. Any comments on this approach will be gratefully received, and I hope to have the first Reading Update posted in the next day or two. I might even try a similar Viewing Update to cover films and TV shows.
