As a writer, I'd be happy with a rating rather then nothing - although it's nice to know the details of why someone liked or didn't like your book, a rating is a good enough indication and better than nothing in this time-scarce world we live in!Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-48188374074851469962011-09-22T23:20:00.749+02:002011-09-22T23:20:00.749+02:00On GoodReads I rate every book I read but I don...On GoodReads I rate every book I read but I don't always comment on them. I only really ever comment if there was something about the book I wanted to share with others.<br /><br />I guess I'm not a very good reviewer. :(Kiru Tayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285263322486836620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-74345625785064712922011-09-22T20:31:26.894+02:002011-09-22T20:31:26.894+02:00HILARY: you're correct, learning to leave comm...HILARY: you're correct, learning to leave comments is just a case of learning to make it a habit!<br /><br />MELISSA: To true - before we're writers, we're readers.

I guess I'm saying that I write exactly what I would like to read.

I find it easy to leave comments = habit forming; however reviews or ratings ... it's moving to another website and an area I don't know ..<br /><br />We need to form that habit, I guess ... and work harder! between all the other things .. the more we do (appropriate things) .. the more reward ultimately ... <br /><br />Giving to and appreciating others .. = value to the receiver ... and we all want that ourselves ..<br /><br />Cheers - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-6106677338347531462011-09-20T06:47:41.136+02:002011-09-20T06:47:41.136+02:00Claire, I know what you mean...it's just that ...Claire, I know what you mean...it's just that there are only 24 hours in a day and sometimes we (unfortunately) can't do all the things we want to! :(Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-74171756510041771152011-09-19T20:54:00.815+02:002011-09-19T20:54:00.815+02:00It's crazy!!

Giovanni's post made me realise that even if I just leave a rating, that'll still give the writer some indication of my enjoyment (or not) of the book. And a rating is better than not commenting at all!Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522118719275646511.post-61651717645164580792011-09-19T13:16:00.217+02:002011-09-19T13:16:00.217+02:00I'm guilty of not leaving comments.
