Back before I blogged about books, I still rated them on Goodreads. I never really wrote a formal review, but sometimes added a sentence or two about my thoughts. Or... even now, sometimes I read a book just to read it, with no concern for reviewing it. Or I'll get into a review slump and feel like I have nothing relevant or interesting to say. I still like to voice my opinions, though, so here are my two cents on a few titles I read just to enjoy.
The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn by Mark Twain
I actually enjoyed this!
Wither by Lauren DeStefano
So depressing... I have hope that the next book will be a little happier.
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Not as good as the first one, but still worth the read. Can't wait for the third book!
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
You know... I wish there was a little more romance, but the suspense factor was amazing and the ending was sweet.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Oh. My. I just found my new favorite book. Seriously! This was adorable. And I am SO excited to go to Paris now!!
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Oh my. Wonderful. I got so
attached to the characters and the story was captivating. This is
definitely Stephenie's best.
Do your reviews ever look like this? Sometimes a sentence really is all you need to get your feelings out. And for my fellow book bloggers, do you ever decide to just not review a book? Both Wither and Anna were books I intended to fully review, but then chose not to.
I'm so glad you liked Anna and the French Kiss!
ReplyDeleteIf I got the book for review, I always write one (except for when I DNF-ed it), but when it's one of my own or a borrowed one, I sometimes skip reviewing it. Sometimes I just don't really have strong feelings about a book and I have a hard time writing those reviews.
ReplyDeleteThese sentence reviews are a great alternative :)
Sometimes, I just put up a sentence or two as a "filler" review on GR until I can get around to reviewing it. It's usually enough to summarize how I ultimately feel about a book!
