The reason is simple. Under my new rules for reviewing, I film a review as soon as I finish a book. It no longer takes me weeks or months to write a review. I just finish a book, and I film a review that night.
So, announcing that I had finished a book in one post, immediately followed by a post reviewing that book, just seemed like unnecessary clutter.
It's extra work for me, it clutters up the blog, and it drives away readers. So let's just get rid of it.
So, when I finish a book, I'll try to film a review within 24 hours. And I won't feel it necessary to post a separate "finished" post going forward.
