This week the question is:
When you write reviews, do you write them as you read them or do you wait until you finish the book?
I always wait until I finish so I can give a full review. Sometimes most of the book will be amazing but then the ending, for instance, isn't as good, or a character might seem flat until the last few chapters. However, as I read, I make mental notes and sometimes jot down things.

Review Policy
If you would like to contact me for a review, you can reach me at silverfalcon42[at]gmail[dot]com. Every review I write is honest, and I post it both here on this blog and on Goodreads. Although I primarily review young adult fiction of nearly every genre, I love middle grade fiction and am open to young adult nonfiction and select adult fiction. Ebooks in a Kindle-accepted format as well as physical books, and I accept ARCs.

Stopping by from the hop!
I take notes as I go (sometimes) but I don't start actually writing a review until after I finished a book. Even then I usually have to let the book 'sink in' before I can start writing.

Hopping on by to say hello! I also take a few notes while reading (unless I get too into the book and forget) and then write up my thoughts.
Thanks for hopping by! I also make mental notes while reading but don't actually write the review until I'm done.
Hullo! Lovely blog you've got here (love the name!) I wish I could read your latest review, but I just started reading Mockingjay, and I scream and cover my eyes at spoilers. ;)

I'm pretty much the same as you. I wait until the end of a book to write my reviews in case my perspective has changed from the beginning. I do, however, take notes and mark up my books with highlights and post-its so I can go back to things I absolutely want to remember for the review later. :P

My preference is to write my review immediately after I finish reading. But I always try to write it within a couple days or I just forget all the awesome things I mean to say.
