January 2020 marks my thirteenth year in blogging and writing book reviews. I spent over ten years at Blogger. I moved over to WordPress two and a half years ago.
For those of you who are new to my blog, my posts are sporadic. Many of my blogging friends post everyday or a few times a week. Once upon a time I did too. I’m busy reading and volunteering in the community. I blog when I have a chance.
Over the years in blogging and writing book reviews, I’ve had moments of embarrassment. Consider this a top ten list of most embarrassing moments in book reviews.
10. I’m staring at the computer screen and have absolutely no idea what I’m going to say about a particular book. 9. I’ve committed to reading a book in a genre I don’t like. 8. I disliked the book so much that anything written about the book is going to be negative…and I don’t even like the front cover. 7. Grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. 6. Comments that are flirtations. The person wants a date! 5. The wrong photo of the book is used. It’s a photo of a different book. 4. I forgot to read the book and realized 24 hours before the review is due. 3. I forgot to review a book on the assigned day. 2. A wrong title on the book. It’s a mix-up. This is what happens when I write reviews in advance, and I write several reviews in one day.
⊗ONE. I misspelled the author name in the title. The author corrected me in an email.
