yes, they are
my reviews are terrible I know it bc I work for like two hours on one and then it gets like 10 likes"


Same here. I think that also has to do with glitchreads though. I haven't been getting any notifications when someone reviews/rates something which used to happen

Thank you!

I don't think you're reviews are bad, plus it takes me an hour or so too. 💖

Thank you <33
I'm working on it. Maybe I was overexaggerating.
I'm pretty busy these days so I don't have much time to write them but in the summer I'm going to be hopefully writing a lot more :)

Marie | 1726 comments Bhavya wrote: "So I was curious, would you'll consider my reviews 'professional'? 🤔"

i think your layout and structure as well as your well-formed thoughts could be considered professional. i mean there are probably parts here and there that might not be, but in general i would say yes

my reviews are the literal opposit of professional


message 12218: by [deleted user] (new)

opposite not whatever I wrote


message 12219: by Marie (new)

Marie | 1726 comments hmm what do you guys think are the criteria for a professional review?

coherence and articulate thoughts

I don't think so...each reviewer can make theirs as they want to review it



message 12223: by Lorelei (new)

Lorelei (literarylitanies) | 373 comments Yeah. Actual sentences are nice too (not that I ever have any)

It's also nice to have separate sections (ex. The Writing, The Characters, The Plot)

g.vee  (gvesthetic) | 2350 comments And Bhavya your reviews are truly professional

I agree. And maybe trying to keep the discussion limited to critiquing the book and not saying anything about the author?
Also, having examples to prove all your point sis important.

I actually think some of your reviews are professional. Like your rant for some book from e. I cannot remember which...

Definitely! Using quotes and specific examples is always a good thing. I think it's also important not to make your points personal to the author and not let some bias get into the way of how you actually feel about the book. You can hate the author but love the book

I agree with this as well. :)
I try to implement this, but I do not know if I succeeded.

i mean idk whether i'm qualified to tell you how to write professional reviews since i don't consider mine as professional, but what i noticed in your ruin and rising review (which is fantastic by the way) were that you use lots of quotes. they are great but too many of them can disturb the reading in my opinion.
other than that, maybe avoid one sentence paragraphs (something my teachers always tell me haha).
oh and the gifs are phenomenal and please continue using them, but i guess they wouldn't be seen as professional haha :)

Aah yes. I am obsessed with using quotes in reviews, but you are right. A lot can disturb the reading.

I should cut the number down next time, but books have such beautiful quotes that I am very tempted to use (●'◡'●)

I love gifs! I guess they reduce the 'professionalism', but well I like using them so...

I like the gifs. I think they add a necessary levity to some reviews. Being professional is finding the balance between humor and monotonous disasters
