I'll remember I really liked it or hated it but other than that it gets kind of hazy. Really? And the cover is so pretty! I'm hoping to read that one soon...

Then I realised how good it feels like to finally speak, or rather write about novels that I had no one to talk to about before. Also, these reviews remind me of how I felt right after reading the book. I mean I always used to remember if I liked it or not, just not in detail. Another reason why I write reviews is because sometimes I'm having a hard time rating a book. I've read 99 Days recently and while it wasn't such a bad book, I definitely didn't enjoy it. Writing down the good and the bad in a book makes the decision easy. <br />Lovely post. :)Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-6541700642230134272015-04-26T11:16:05.378-07:002015-04-26T11:16:05.378-07:00Me too!

As a reader of blog posts, I know I do tend to read more of discussion posts but it makes me sad that people might not read reviews as much.Laura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-75119825350966457962015-04-26T11:11:15.900-07:002015-04-26T11:11:15.900-07:00Yay someone else!

I didn't write too many reviews at first but I did write the occasional review for a book I loved or really disliked. I found that a few of my friends on there enjoyed reading my reviews and I realized that, since I love sharing books with friends, I could write reviews and help people decide what to read. So I started a blog, which helps me meet new people and helps me really sit down and actually write reviews. I mostly write them to get my ideas out there, to share my opinion, and to provide a resource for anyone considering a book. :) And, at this point, I review nearly everything I read.Caythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568532592059128143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-83706464767446434782015-04-24T20:22:22.380-07:002015-04-24T20:22:22.380-07:00I write books for mostly every book I read.

Sometimes I wonder if people even read book reviews anymore and what the point is of it! <br /><br />Rachel @ <a href="http://aperfectioncalledbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A Perfection Called Books</a>Rachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/06616299360211920794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913730726494465142.post-75419521621362583382015-04-24T11:58:59.100-07:002015-04-24T11:58:59.100-07:00I do write books for every book I read.

Plus, I have a few friends that use my reviews/blog to find books they want to read, so I like sharing the love. I don't analyze them. I hate analyzing them. I feel like I'm school when I do that. I just talk about my feelings and such. That's about it.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.com
