Amanda (manka23) | 47 comments So I recently wrote a review for a book that I loved, and nobody read the review. But all I wanted to do was tell everyone how much I loved the book.

So I was thinking that I'd create a thread to share your reviews on. Here you can list your review, and check out other people's reviews. It kind of sucks to put effort into writing a review, and then nobody reads it, so let's read each others reviews!

I'll start.

I loved reading Bleed Like Me by Christa Desir and here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

By the way, if you haven't read this classic (probably everyone has but me), you are missing a great story. I started reading it at night and could not put it down, finished it that night. It is not long and I can see this as a play, which it has been.

If I have it was long ago. I want to read that and also Grapes of Wrath, since my father was a fruit picker in the early forties and late thirties, all before I was born.

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments This book is about my father in law, now deceased. He won an Olympic Gold Medal in Hitler's Germany in 1936. Many have read this review but I wanted to give you all an opportunity to read it. It has been optioned for a movie. The Boys in the Boat Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Ok, for all you guys who like, prefer YA and maybe like Post apocalypse along with it? With a few or a lot of zombies? and a bit of serious romance? This is a series not to miss. Rachel Higgenson writes an episode every two weeks and they are short, under 100 pages, but they will hook you, completely. I am on Season Two episode Nine and am just wringing my hands and pulling my hair while waiting for the next episode. Each episode is 99 cents and very worth it. You can buy them a few at a time but I have bought them individually. Here is a link to episode one:
Love and Decay, Episode One (Love and Decay #1) by Rachel Higginson

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments So please don't anyone take offense but if you are asking us to read a review please choose one you actually really love and have no reservations about recommending. Doesn't that sound fair? I mean why do we want to read a review and then that book if it is not wholly recommended? Isn't that the point of this "sharing of reviews?"
