When you finish a book are you one to write a review about said book or do you rate it and move on? Do you read reviews before starting a book or just jump right in? Has a review ever made you read or not read a book?
I typically just rate and move on. Occasionally I will write a review, but normally, only if I really enjoyed the book.
I do read reviews occasionally and would like to start reviewing more, but I would like to get better in creating more captivating reviews. I typically only read the reviews after I’ve finished a book, not sure why, but it’s what I do.
Thoughts?
Unless I really love the book I don’t write a review. I usually rate and move on. I’ve also come to realise that just because people rate a book really high especially after it’s gone viral on bookstagram, doesn’t mean I’m going to like it. I’ve read books with average ratings or even those that are not that highly rated to be really good. So I don’t judge a book by its ratings ig
