Let’s Talk Bookish – Reviewing Books

Welcome to my Let’s Talk Bookish post! Created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits, this meme includes a set prompt which we are then let lose on to discuss.

This week’s prompt is:

Reviewing Books? (Rachel @ A Bookworm in Paradise)

What makes you want to review or not review a book?

Since starting my Blog in June 2021, I have reviewed every single book that I have read. If it was a short book, then I have just done a mini review. I wouldn’t see the point of my blog if I didn’t!

Do you review every book you read?

As above.

When it comes to my son’s library books, I haven’t reviewed all of them. I need to start up again really. I include them in my stacking the shelves posts so really I should make more of an effort to review them!

Are some books harder to review than others?

Some books are definitely easier to review for example if there are more writing techniques used then I can talk about them all. If I have really enjoyed a book then I can also go on a bit longer! I find reviewing my son’s books very hard because there are so few words!

Do you review books you disliked?

Yes, but I try not to be too harsh because someone has taken the time to write it, plus someone else might enjoy it and I don’t want to discourage them from reading it too much!

If you’ve ever written a ranty review, have you regretted doing so afterwards?

I haven’t written a ranty review, and the reviews that I have written that aren’t full of compliments I don’t regret.

Do you delete reviews that are “outdated” or don’t follow what you think of the book now?

No. I like that the review is of it’s time. At the time that is what I thought. I always write a review straight after reading so the story is always fresh in my mind. To me any changes made later will be irrelevant because the story isn’t fresh.

What about you?
