T.I.G.F. (16)
TGIF is a fun little feature hosted at Ginger @ GReads! Every week we
re-cap what has happened on the blog plus Ginger asks a question for us to
answer. This week’s question is: Writing Reviews 101: What's your process for writing book reviews? Any
tips or suggestions you would recommend to other bloggers?
As always Ginger asked a very good
question. One that I’ve had to sit down and really think about.
The first thing I do is read the
book, I don’t read other reviews or even the synopsis because sometimes I judge
the book by the way it’s described. After I’ve read the book I let what I read
sit with me for at least a day, then I sit down and write my review. But really
sometimes it takes me so long to write the review. I post them once in a while
and I have no idea why. I read really fast but when it comes to writing a
review it seriously takes me forever.
I will say this if you write a
review it doesn’t have to be perfect, have big words or be overly sophisticated. Also tell
the truth, don’t think just because you may have gotten the book from the
author your review should be a good one. If you didn't like the book say that and say why but don't be mean about it. You should never read other reviews before you read the book or are writing the review. It’s best not to let anything
influence you in any way.

I agree with what you had to say about not getting too much influence from what other people thought. Your reviews are based on your own opinions, as they are personal expressions of what you think :)
