Nope, I just stick post-it strips on passages/scenes that I think are worth mentioning or remembering when I write my review.
-
If I'm not busy, I usually write my reviews immediately after I've read it, or if I'm pressed for time, usually a day or two. Otherwise I tend to forget what I want to say.
-
Usually the bad guy. I cannot resist a bad guy in books.
-
I've been seeing stuff about 'The Siren' recently and it's being compared to Fifty Shades.
-
I usually write my reviews a day or two after I've finished reading the book, otherwise I tend to forget what I want to say and I might have to re-read. Don't be disheartened if people don't leave comments on your blog. Remember that not all of your visitors take the time to leave a comment but that doesn't mean no one's reading your reviews.

I haven't watched it yet, but I am definitely excited for it!

Be polite and specific. Tell them something about your blog. Usually your stats and links to books you've read from the same publisher. Tell them why you want to read this book and remember to do it in a professional manner.
-
I post them in Book Depository, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
-
I usually just send the link to my contact. If I don't know where the ARC is from or if there's no specific email given to me, I usually just send it to the generic publicity e-mail.

That's weird. Can you ask for the whole book? I usually give judgment for a book once I've read around half of it or more. It's hard to give opinion in reading so little a part of a book. It might start out good but fall out in the middle. So make sure you read the whole thing first.
-
I do it, but I haven't gotten any revenues off it so far.

Graffiti Moon and Skin Deep :)

I noticed that, but I don't really mind. These websites have tons of readers and a wide audience reach so I guess it's a good move if you want to create more buzz / publicity for the book. You can always do a blog post/ cover reveal of your own so...

Reading books and writing reviews for them on time. I have a lot of things to do on top of blogging since I have work. Also, books released in the US/UK or AU almost always never gets to be released where I am in the time same.
-
If I can relate the book to certain aspects of my life, I include that in my review. Sometimes I tend to like books whose characters or situations reminds me of the ones I experienced myself.
-
As long as it's well written, it doesn't matter if it's long or short.
-
It depends. I often tend to write longer reviews for books I like since I want to discuss a lot of the elements I love about it. Shorter if I don't want to give important points away.
-
Enjoy reading and blogging. Don't think about the number of followers or how you can get ARCs early on. All of it will come in the right time. Be happy with what you do.
-
I don't really keep count, but I actually talk to more people online. I have a bunch of good friends IRL though.
