Book Beginnings is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.
My Friday 56 is from Wallbanger by Alice Clayton:
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
The featured blogs this week are Book Blog Bird and Books Coffee Life Adventures.
I will occasionally take notes whilst reading, usually when it's an ebook I'm reading as it's a lot easier to highlight text and add in notes. I also try to start writing my review as soon after I have finished a book as possible.I try as much as possible to structure my reviews in terms of describing style, setting, events and plot, and then I go on to say what I enjoyed. I usually end my reviews with recommendations and whether I will read the author again.
Feel free to leave a comment.

Hopping through. I should take more notes while reading, especially on ebooks. But for some reason I don't like highlighting things on ebook. It really makes no sense to me that I don't like it but that's the way I am for now.

I usually delete all the highlights after I've finished reviewing. I don't like reading something covered in different colours haha!
DeleteI think we have a similar way of reviewing. I make notes on my Kindle too - makes it much easier to remember the points I was trying to make! Thanks for stopping by my blog today :)
ReplyDeleteClaire @ Book Blog Bird
Yeah, I can quite often forget about small points whilst I'm reading so it's great for helping me remember.
DeleteI should take notes while reading, but I don't. You seem pretty organized! Old follower!
ReplyDeleteLizzie @ lizziethesarcasticblonde.blogspot.com
I don't feel organised haha!
DeleteI've gotten to Furious Town a few times in my life. Not a nice place to visit.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I agree!
DeleteHi! Thank you so much for your comment and following! :)
ReplyDeleteI usually highlight a lot when reading an ebook or even with normal books. My books are colorful afterwards, with many comments!
I really can't write in books! it's just a no-no for me. I've not even plucked up the courage to start my Wreck This Journal yet!
DeleteI try to write my reviews as soon as possible too so that everything is still fresh in my mind. But I don't post it until a few weeks later because sometimes I end up changing my mind about stuff.

Yeah, I leave myself a week at least before posting now.
DeleteLOL Sounds like a hysterically funny read!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Yes, it is so funny
DeleteThis story was one of the more popular Twilight fanfiction stories because it was funny and sexy. I hope you enjoy it. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm really enjoying it. I didn't realise it started as Twilight fanfiction though. I can't see any similarities myself.
DeleteI've seen this book around - thanks for sharing the 56!

Thanks, it's so good!
DeleteI love that my e-reader has the highlighting feature. It's great to have for sure. Thank you for stopping by. :)

Yes, it makes it so much easier for me to remember things!
DeleteOne of the best things about ebooks is being able to highlight things! :)
ReplyDelete(Old follower)
I totally agree!
DeleteWell that made me laugh out loud! Really does sound fun.

Oh! It's such a funny book! Definitely one I'll be recommending!
DeleteI also like to announce whether or not I will read more of an author at the end of my reviews! I think that's an important point to make!
ReplyDeleteNew Bloglovin' follower! :)
Yeah, to me it shows that the author is worth a look into.
DeleteI know what you mean! It takes me ages to get things sounding right.
