Short reviews are good. We don’t need a synopsis of the book. As a writer, I certainly appreciate any reviews I get for my work. I think I have gotten much better at writing reviews as well.

I haven’t been reading your reviews that long so I guess I am getting the changed version and enjoy reading them. I like a review to tell me what a book is about but not tell me the whole story if that makes sense. An authentic and honest video!

Our sense of how to do things always changes over time as we gain experience, I think. Short is preferable since you’re not doing a plot summary. Cheers.

Hi, Barb – Short, personalized and to the point are the reviews that I enjoy the most. Your current reviews are perfect to me. LIke you and others, I do not need a synopsis of the book — I can get easily get that from other places.

As an author I ask readers to write just one sentence maybe two and add lots of stars. I expect longer reviews from reviewers on NetGalley and bloggers on blog tours. I appreciate the time a reader takes to read my books and feel blessed when they extend themselves to review. Reviews matter so please post them on Amazon because authors need the alogrithm boost. I write book reviews of authors who I am friends with. The length of the review is not as important as the tone with lots of stars.

We all change over time, Barbara, sometimes because of experience and sometimes because we just change mentally and emotionally. You do fantastic work!

I love how authentic you are, Barb! I finally took the time to watch your YouTube video (yes, I am one of those ‘busy’ people) and appreciate your comments on your growth journey. I really enjoy your review style and love that you don’t spoil the end. Back in the day (like high school days), I was the type who skipped to the end all too often. Now, I want to savor the moments. Ah, maturity!
Hope all is well with you and your family! ❤
