Did you love a book? Hate it and think it was a total waste of your time? Then leave a review. One of the most valuable tools for discovering great books is the reviews left by other readers. Reviews also help a writer tremendously.
There are many options for leaving a review on a book. Consider the site you bought it from, if you bought it online. Next, consider Amazon. They comprise 27% of the total book market (all forms), so it’s the mostly likely place other readers will visit. Next to Amazon, the most useful site to leave reviews on is Goodreads. Note: you can copy and paste your review to avoid re-typing it at each site.
Goodreads (http://goodreads.com) is a social media site all about books. It is frequented by readers, authors, reviewers, book bloggers, publicists, and even agents, editors, and publishers. It’s a fantastic book discovery venue. You have to sign up for an account to leave a review, but other than that, there are no requirements.
