Is it ok to point to another author/book in a review?

[Scarlett]

I wanted to know if it was "ok" to point to another author/book in a review.

I am currently writing a review for Matt Shaw's "The Game" series, and wanted to point out that if readers liked it that they might want to check out Tim Millers' "Country Club" series because they are both similar.

Is that ok?

Yes, although this is actually not a question for the Librarians Group.

Hi Scarlett

I assume this is ok as people do this all the time. However this is not a question for Librarians. We are volunteers who look after the book records & stuff like that.

Please try the Help area https://help.goodreads.com/s/ or use the Contact Us link. Be aware that due to present circumstances in the world, response times may be slow.

Thanks! So, the Policies and Practice thread is more about the technicalities of shelving and cataloguing rather than the Policies and Practice of reviews and overall guidelines?

No how members shelve their books is also nothing to do with us. We help correct or add book records & some work on Listopias. Anything to do with site functionality or members' reviews is handled by Support (staff) If you read some of the requests in the Book Issues folder that will give you an idea on the things we handle.
