Review Group discussion

When you make reviews, what motivates you to write a review?

Mostly its to show appreciation of literary talent and all the hard work authors put in to their writing.
It can be so hard for independent authors to stand out- without any access to the media contacts & PR teams that all the large publishing imprints have at their disposal.
Reviews, book bloggers, social media posts and even book recommendations to family & friends can have a tremendous impact in building awareness of a new author and gradually increasing ebook sales.

Thank you !

I enjoy writing book reviews, because it is a way for me to express how I feel about a book after I've finished reading it. When it is a great book, I always hope others will pick it up if they read my positive review, and when it is not a so great book I like to express my disappointment (and rant) in a book review too XD
