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?

    I often think of reviews in my head but I forget to write them down anywhere so I’ve started a book journal! Even if it’s just a sentence it’s really nice to look back on and remember what I thought about the book.

    I usually to wait until the end of a book to read reviews but sometimes I have such strong feelings about a plot point or character and I absolutely have to see what others think.
