I recently read this post from Kristen Lamb about leaving book reviews. Please read it fully. It is very important to authors.

If you are a reader, no matter HOW you read a book, try to leave a review of some sort. It doesn’t matter if you checked it out from a library, borrowed from a friend, or “stole” it from the Urgent Care waiting room while they held you hostage.

Go to Amazon, ideally. Whether anyone likes it or not that is where most REGULAR PEOPLE look for books/book reviews and try to leave a review.

Yes, feel free to leave a book review at Goodreads. But I will say that, as I have mentioned far too many times before, regular people (*code for readers) have no idea what Goodreads even is. AVID readers do. Readers who are also writers or who aspire to be authors do.

Normal folk? Not so much.

Do you leave reviews for books you read? If not, why not? It doesn’t need to be an essay, a simple comment is sufficient.

And you don’t have to have bought it from Amazon to leave a review there.
