Reviews can't go up until close to the beginning of October Sharon so there'll be a lot going up then;)

Yes they are! I actually wrote to the Editorial Manager of The Reading Room about when reviews were supposed to go up and he said if it's not specified by the publisher, 2 weeks prior to publication is what is recommended:)

Perhaps it should be written on the piece of paper that is sent out with the book. Just to remind the like of those who forget or don't know. ( or choose to ignore) :)

No it's annoying that it's not mentioned in the letter. That's why I emailed the fellow about it...

Very! I'll just do up my review in word, write myself a note in my diary, then post it 10 days or so prior:)


message 10012: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 2164 comments I've just re-shelved The Love of a Good Woman by Alice Munro, which I was reading for Wall St Journal Bookclub. It's a collection of short stories, and I finished the first three (including the eponymous story, which is almost a novella in its own right). Not my cup of tea at all :-(

Jo, in reply to your question about doing a review:

When you rate a book, a little window will pop up just above the stars saying "Thanks... Write a review". Click on that, it will take you to review page. After you've written the review, scroll down till you find the 'Save' button. It's best to write review in Word program first and 'copy and paste' into Goodreads.

There is an alternate way to get into Review which someone else can explain - it's still 4am here and not all my brain is awake yet:)

And it's always so good to find a new author you like with heaps of books as you know you have all that reading pleasure ahead of you (have already bought the 2nd and 3rd in the series!)
