Thanks for sharing this, Michelle. It’s good to revise the basics even for book reviewing 🙂
Hope you’re having a great day!

Thanks, Heena! Yes, I felt the same way. My day is going well.

Ah, reviews are a challenge sometimes, I find books I dislike a lot more challenging but there is always a constructive way to approach even the bad books, except for Fifty Shades and The Da Vinci Code of course.

Exactly. However, if I don’t like a book, I don’t review it.

I don’t have that tolerance, if I dislike a book I need to share why…I can’t help myself, I suppose the fear of other people losing money and reading time on a book is something I don’t want for others. I am just too nice.

You have a point. However, I always feel everyone has different tastes. I gently tell an author that I will not be reviewing their book and why, but that doesn’t mean every reader will agree with me.

True, I think it is different for me as I usually do whatever I get from shops as opposed to real people, as it were, which I get far less of but I usually find the more testing.

One of my problems is the disparity between Goodreads and Amazon star ratings. I often rate 3 star, meaning “I Liked it / it was a good read / a decent investment of my time”, as opposed to my 5 star interpretation “It was so great I’ll still be affected in years to come”, and the 4 star slightly lower version of that. But I hear the reading community interpret 3 stars as a negative and turn away from choosing that book?

I agree. I consider a three as still a good read. I don’t do reviews if I can’t give at least a three.

Me neither. But I have decided to be one of those authors who does not expand with additional commentary.
