As I'm sure the 3 of you who follow this have noticed, I have utterly failed at both my attempt to do video reviews of books for Cannonball Read, and, hey, at doing them at all. According to Goodreads, I've read 43 books this year, which is much more than the half cannon I committed to. That said, they don't count if I don't review them, which was my problem last year as well. At least this time I'm reacting to it before December?
So here's why I'm making this post. I'm going to attempt to get as many of those books reviewed as I can before the end of the year. I don't recall if that's the actual deadline for CBR, officially speaking, but that's my goal for me. Also, for now, they are just going on here and not the official CBR blog because I can't for the life of me remember anything about how to do those posts there, including my login info. I'm also just sticking to writing them - doing that one short video took me ages, and I have neither the time nor the desire to get crazy with webcams and makeup and whatnot. So for the moment, my only goal is to review a bunch of books here, in print, by year's end.
The biggest challenge at this point isn't the dedication of time require to review the 42 remaining books (I do have *one* video review up). No, no, my hardest obstacle is going to be remember what the hell I thought about each of these books. Some were not particularly noteworthy at the time I finished them, let alone months after the fact. You can also expect each of the series that I've read to fill one very long post each. It seems silly to me to attempt to differentiate between each volume when instead I can do a longer post really delving into the entirety of something like the Codex Alera.
So that's the plan folks! Tune in over the next month and a half and see how well I do!
