How do you write your reviews?
I started blogging around 6 months ago and when I wrote my first review I didnt really have a specific format in mind other than just spilling out my thoughts onto the post and just going with it. I've seen quite a number of bloggers who use some different formats and I have considered changing my own. I even tried it out on a recent review. However, while I was trying to write another one for a different book with the same format, I realized that it just wasn't going to work. I might try something else in the future, but for now I'll just stick to the spilling-out-my-thoughts format.
How about you guys? Let me know in the comments below!
That's pretty much how I do it too! Spill it all out! I try for some structure, talk a little about plot and pacing, characters, romance, storybuilding and worldbuilding. What I liked and didn't like. And pretty much lots of gushing!

I find it better that way! Have a great day as well, Jessica! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI have tried various formats, too. I think it is good to shake thing up a bit. Old follower :)
ReplyDeleteDefnitely! I hope to try some other formats in the future. Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI use to just wing it but have recently decided on trying a format. Only done one like that, hopefully it works for me. Winging it isn't doing it. I always seem to have trouble putting my thoughts into words.

Writing reviews can be tricky! Especially since not all books can be reviewed in the same exact way. I hope it works for you too!
DeleteI kind of just spill everything out too, but I try to stick to the same key points: character, plot, cover and overall impression.

Same here! Just followed you back! :)
DeleteI guess spilling out your thoughts usually works best, I'd suppose? :)
ReplyDeleteNew old follower :)
It's currently the best working way for me right now!
DeleteIt depends on the book, I guess. Some books I can just rave about, and others I usually have to consider plot, characters, world-building, writing style, etc...
ReplyDeleteExactly. That's why I find it hard to stick to just one way of reviewing books. It doesn't apply to every one.
DeleteNice response and thanks for the follow :D Winging it is the best XD
ReplyDeleteMaura @ Monster of Books
No problem! And I definitely agree.
DeleteYes! Writing my thoughts out as is, is my format too. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Thanks for following back!
DeleteI just write out my thoughts on a book... there's no specific way I really write a review. The only thing I do worry about is making a review too long. Book reviews don't really seem to get that much attention (at least mine don't) - and so I always worry that longer reviews will put even more people off.
ReplyDeleteI agree! When it comes down to it, quality is more important than quantity.
DeleteI'm a new blogger/reviewer too and I have found that it's definitely easier to write each review with a unique voice. No two books are the same, after all! :)

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for the twitter follow; I'm following right back!
DeleteI tried to change mine, too, when I saw others with different review formats and it also didn't work for me. I just write what I want to.
