Reviews on Amazon vs. Goodreads vs. Smashwords

Of all the places on the web I have made reviews on this is what I think of them :
Give review and rate book on a scale of five stars


Give review title, review,  rate book on a scale of five stars, share on Facebook and Twitter, Also you can like or dislike other people's reviews, and comment on them. 
Give  review and rate book on a scale of five stars, share on Facebook and Twitter add who recommended it to you, and who you would recommend the book to,the date when you started reading it, when you finished it how many times you read it, where and when you got the book. You can share to Facebook and Twitter, Goodreads updates, and if you have an author profile on Goodreads, to your blog. Also you can like other people's reviews, and comment on them. 

Summary : There are a lot of options when making reviews on Goodreads, while on Amazon you can dislike other people's reviews.

Blogger vs Tumblr

Today's review is what I like and dislike about Blogger & Tumblr.
Blogger
Likes:

  • Uploading content for a blog post - you can upload content from your computer, Google+, Picasa, and Google Drive
  • Web page layout - You can add as many widgets and buttons as you like, lots of options of how they appear on the Blog
  • About Person info Comes from Google+
Dislikes:

  • Changing HTML messes up the blog
  • Right off the bat when you publish a post, it only has Google+ to share it on. If you want to share that post on Facebook and/or Twitter it must be from the blog itself
  • 3rd party Backgrounds cause errors for background preview

Tumblr
Likes: 
  • Able to share to Facebook and Twitter right off the bat when you publish a post
  • Blog post appears on a Facebook timeline app
  • Effector theme shows About Person info from Twitter, along with latest tweets
  • More options for tumblr themes then Blogger Templates
Dislikes:
  • Need to make pages on Blog to add a widget or button that may or may not work 
  • Most themes cost money, no Blogger Templates or Layout does
  • To start blogging, you must  follow 5 other blogs, plus an extra 5 per computer 
with camera problems, this is because a computer camera is need for the blog icon. 

I have only been on Blogger for about 3 months, and Tumblr for about a week or so. If you know any thing about these blogs I don't know about  Commenting would be helpful

My Summer Time management

This is what I have decided to do for summer to manage my time while I’m not on vacation or have a summer job.
  • Miscellaneous Monday - read a book, work on a drawing, work on outline
  • Review Tuesdays - upload a book review from Amazon to Goodreads, make a new review, and or make a new post on this blog.
  • Scout Wednesdays - work on merit badges to become an eagle scout, read a book, come up with more ideas for my story
  • Idea Thursdays - Post Ideas for my story on my tumblr blog, add ideas to Rough Draft, work on a drawing, read
  • Art Fridays - post artwork update on my Art and Book Blog or WIP on Behance,  ideas for next drawing update, or scan a drawing I have finished, put scanned drawing on my Behance profile my pinterest art board, work on Rough Draft, and outline
  • Book Saturdays - Finish Rough Draft and add update on Wattpad and Goodreads, post update on my Art and Book Blog, and tumblr blog work on art, read.
  • Sunday Insights - Make a post on my faith blog, draw, read

I will randomly add a blog post to my Molly Blog  throughout the week, and pins to pinterest not related to my artwork.
