How to use the Member Reviews folder!

[Pamela, Moderatrix]

Hey, everyone! I wanted to create a folder so we could all link to our reviews of the books we're reading. Here's the way this folder works:

-Start ONE new topic with your name in the subject line (ex: The Discriminating Fangirl's Reviews)
-Be sure to put that topic in the Member Reviews folder
-Whenever you post a new review, either on goodreads or on your blog elsewhere, make a new post in your topic

Voila! If you have any questions or suggestions, post them here. :)

Does it matter if the reviews posted are not paranormal? I kind of read a wide variety of genres...

[Pamela, Moderatrix]

Hi, Gina. You know... go ahead and post any kind of review. :) I read a pretty wide variety of genres myself, and I definitely don't mind getting recommendations for any kind of book. :)

Excellent. Thank you!

When you update your reviews, can you just come back here, click edit and replace it with the new link or would the link be the same?

[Pamela, Moderatrix]

I'd suggest just making a new post within your review topic, so people can see links to all of your reviews.

I'm curious how you guys are and want to using this. The idea intrigues me, but I'm not sure when I'd look here vs. just using the regular friends and followers reviews. What are the benefits you guys are hoping for? Relating to the group, I think it would be cool if there were a folder where every member who reviews a group read would list their review somewhere handy like this, or is there a way to do that already? Let me know what you're thinking, I can't quite get my brain there after 2 a.m. :)

Most people using this folder links to reviews outside of Goodreads. Each member can open their own topic and then make posts within that topic with links to their reviews on their blog or wherever. It's a way to draw attention to one's blog, that sort of thing.

At the moment, we're not really doing group reads as in a book of the month sort of thing, but if someone would like to start that up, I'll happily create a folder so everyone can link their reviews. :)

Is this the review folder? I'm looking for reviews.
