Weekly Geeks #18 – Playing Catch (up)

This week Dewey has given us just the assignment I need - catch up on… something.
It can be anyhthing related to your book blogging - …challenges …organizing your sidebar… updating lists… making links…bloghopping… your TBR pile… your library books… updating your blogroll… updating your reader… ???

Since I had already updated my challenges last week, I think what I will do for this assignment is catch up on all the unwritten or partially written reviews I have sitting in my drafts folder. The following are the list I will be working with this week. 22 reviews in 7 days – durrr – at least have have my basic ideas written out, it’s just a matter of polishing them up a bit.

Maybe I will do some of them as normal reviews and some of them using Dewey's awesome Book Review Questionnaire – I used it when writing a review for Crooked Little Vein and it was very refreshing and fun.

So I have a questions for everyone, what type of review is your favourite to read? Do you prefer traditional or different types (Q And A’s, Haiku Review, One sentence review, etc.) Do you have a certain review style that you are more comfortable with using when writing or does it depend on the book? I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this :)
