I saw this sitting on the table at B&N not that long ago and was wondering what this was about. I love those books that get in your head. I think I'll add this to my TBR. You're always adding books to my TBR! :]

I like Molly's idea! For a lot of people that would be fantastic.
I find that usually what I end up doing is scheduling most of my posts throughout the week the week before, aside from reviews that I have to write. That way, rather than spending my evenings writing posts, I get to take some time and go through my google reader. I admit, some days I don't get to it, but I've found that's what works best for me!

The book fair sounds fantastic :]
I just now got to where I found balance between life and blogging, honestly. And I know it never thrills a blogger to not have content posted, don't worry, we'll all still be here when you have to time! :]

Those are all really good points. I find that I focus on the plot and how it flows and the characters. For me, if I can't relate to the characters, then I can't get into the book. I know a lot of people are like that as well.
I find that if I summarize the book that it helps me write a better review too.
And if I find a quote that really sticks with me, I'll throw that in there and if there was something that I really didn't like about the book, I make sure to put that in.
The thing about book reviews is there is so many different ways to do it. As long as you explain WHY you liked a book, whether its characters in one book and plot in another, then I think its an effective review. :]

Slaughterhouse-Five! I read that this year and I loved it and I really think that everyone needs to read it!
And I've never read any of these books, but they're on my wishlist and I would love to read them! :]

I just started my first audiobook this week and I'm really loving it! Like you, I can't believe that I didn't try this out sooner!

Totally agree with White Oleander. Love that book!
I can't wait to read House of Sand and Fog. It might be a while before I get to it though!

You should try Sage Francis. I think you'd like him.
I also listen to Aesop Rock, but he gets pretty inappropriate sometimes so it may not be your cup of tea.

I agree with Zombies and Post-Ap fiction! I love stuff like that.
And I also couldn't agree more with less Vampires. I've had enough already!
