I've decided to make a few changes in my Weekly Wrap format. Instead of just listing the books and things that have graced my mailbox, I'm also going to do a short recap of the previous week. I want to show the different reviews and list giveaway reminders - just in case you missed the post!
While I'm on the topic, I've noticed a few snarky comments around the book review community regarding the IMM type posts. Personally, I enjoy reading what others have received during the week. It helps me get an idea of what is coming out or already out there that I may be interested in. I DON'T view it as a "ha ha look what I got and you didn't" type post as many of the rather pissy-sounding commenters stated. I also use my list as an aide in trying to do reviews as books come in - note I say TRY as it doesn't always work that way.
Anyway, I will continue these Sunday posts as I enjoy them and I find them useful for my own blogging, keeping track of my books and for building LOOONG wish lists from other bloggers' posts. I'd be interested in hearing what readers here have to say on the topic. Happy New Year!
