Is it just me or are there times when you just can't find the words....
Ok ok let's be more specific because being honest there are a lot of days when I get muddled word wise as the kids I teach will testify. I'm actually talking about the times you read a book and love it so much that you cannot find the words to do it justice and then get stuck when writing a review for it.
I find this can happen for several reasons.
1) The book is just too fab but you can't find the words to explain its fab and wonderfulness
2) You don't want to include spoilers which means you can't say anything. I find this especially the case if the book is the 2nd/3rd/4th ... in a series.
My question to your dear bookish folk is how do you get around it? Any tips or helpful hints would be gratefully appreciated!

1) Sometimes I just don't write a review - especially if it's a book a lot of people have written a review about already.
2) If I do want to write a review, especially if it's a book that's not common or new, sometimes I just say the things that made the book for me. Let's face it, if you liked a book so much, it should come across in the tone as well as if it sounds like you're 'fan-girling' on it. Hope that helps! :)
Other times, I feel like I could write an entire book about why I enjoyed a book, so having to condense that is a real pain!
So I totally get where you're coming from!
