Just wondering -- were there so few comments on my giant post o'book reviews because nobody had anything to say, or because nobody bothered to read them? (If it's the latter, I can safely give up feeling guilty over not posting book reviews of most of the stuff I read and just stop doing it.)

In other news: halfway through the first day of no sweets, and it's going fine. Not that I usually indulge this early in the day, anyway...

You're doing better than I usually do for comments. :-D At this point, I mostly stubbornly post on RPG/game stuff because I care about it, even if most people reading me don't.

I skimmed that post because most of the books seemed to be things I wouldn't be interested in reading anyway (I don't mind mystery as a genre, but I have so many things on my to-read pile that I'm not taking it on right now). I mostly read review posts if they're about books I might conceivably pick up to read on my own inclination. (This means that I categorically skip romance novel reviews, yeah.)

I liked the reviews, but the books you reviewed weren't books on which I have anything to say.

I skimmed the reviews--thanks for posting them!--but didn't have anything to say.

I read 'em -- just had nothing to say.

I loved the reviews and even noted down some titles to track down for my own, but I had nothing further to add.

I read them but I can't comment on DW from the kiosk at work and I didn't get back online at home until tonight.

I in fact did want to ask you about NetGalley accounts. I'm not a professional librarian, nor do I get paid to review, but I do write for a very large team-specific baseball blog and I have done the occasional baseball book review. I'm wondering if it's worth it to try to get an account. Most of the baseball books I've seen there I have on hold at the local library anyway and will get reviewed if there's relevant content to the blog. (Our editor-in-chief got an email from a publicist about a new Derek Jeter biography. We're a specific team blog, and the team isn't the Yankees. I guess....)

Normally i would read them, but i am in meetings to my neck and just keeping up with people's lives and not going into much detail in my reading this week.

Noooo I love book review posts. But if I haven't read the books I don't tend to comment.

I always enjoy reading your book review posts but I usually don't have much to say.

Well, I read them but none of them were my cup of tea and I had nothing to add, so I didn't comment. I was thinking they'd be good short reviews on GoodReads ^^

It's because reviewing in batches gets less comments than one at a time.

I commented!

But I didn't have anything to say about the specific books you were talking about as I haven't read any of them. I still enjoyed reading it, though, and have wishlisted a bunch of the non-fiction titles that sounded interesting.

In my case, it's because I somehow missed it. OTOH, it's been a bit of a crazy week for me work-wise.

I did read it and I did find it interesting, but not having read the books (or likely to read them any time soon) I didn't really have much useful to comment about. Sorry! XD

sorry, I did tl:dr the post, but I am not super good at commenting anyway.

Didn't read any of the books, and not interested in reading of them, so no comments (although I suppose I could have said the latter).

I always like reading book reviews - the more the merrier. Snagged the gutenberg link for future reading when less migrainey, as it sounded quite fun. I might try the Judi Dench book if I spot it in the library, too. Sorry for commentfail, and good luck with the sweets! I'm on day 3 of giving up wheat and dairy for a while to see if it has any effect on the migraines. No effect so far, except a giant urge for cheese toasties.

I usually read/enjoy your book reviews, but don't always have time, and don't always comment. So...for what that's worth!
