I was saying to Hannah the other day that I want to be sure I'm going to actually read something before I start reviewing because I don't want the author to think I stopped because it wasn't good when I actually stop because I don't particularly like to read and I have the attention span of a gnat LOL I always have the best of intentions though and will follow stories I think I might like to read so I can come back to them and won't forget!

I do exactly that as well! I read one chapter and kind of get a sense if I know if it's something I'll commit to before I leave a review for the chapter.

I've always had issues reading my reviews so I intentionally don't get notifications about them but now I don't find them as scary so I at least open them long enough to say thank you! :)

YAY! Happy to hear that! I wish more people would get on the bandwagon!

I am the same way with reviewing - I don't leave a review until I feel like I'm enjoying the story enough to continue reading it. Like Julilly said, I don't want anyone to think I started reading and then stopped because the story sucked, when the reality is that I either got busy and fell behind on it or got bored with it, neither of which means the story is bad.

Well, maybe I fan-girled a little bit when I discovered (just last week) that I could see who has favorited my individual stories (yeah, I'm a little slow). Then I thought, "Weird, I don't have reviews from these people." But, good point that it's a way to keep up with a story you intend on reading one day. I might have also fan-girled a little when Julie started reading/reviewing one of my stories last night and Mare told me I was actually a good writer and that I should write in a genre she actually wants to read! lol.
PS- I want to see someone answer Mare's last question. I'm not sure I have a good answer.
mare:
If you are slow than I'm like a sloth because I didn't know you could do that and I'm a mod, granted I'm the mod who just stands in the corner and looks purty when it comes to anything remotely technological. lol
I would also like someone to answer my last question, of course after posting it, I realized how hard it is to actually answer!
So, I'll revise it a little to make it easier and say example(s) plural? Maybe that would work. lol
