What I like:
-short
-a few memes are accepted but not necessary
-no overdramatics
-nothing rude, swears
-a breakdown of the 'score/rating'
-links to author or book on Goodreads
-honesty
What I Dislike:
-a million memes
-tons of swears
-long reviews
-confusing formats
-"fake reviews"--feeling like you need to give a positive review
-rudeness
-unannounced spoilers
-a reiterated summary if one from Amazon or Goodreads is already given
Overall, I don't think I am that picky! There are always things that are like added bonuses like pictures, author interviews, and giveaways that are appreciated but don't make much of a difference to me.
How about you? What do you like or dislike? Anything I need to add to my own lists?
So agree, I hate the rude, hater posts. There is no reason to be mean, even if you didn't like the book!

Totally agreed!! It's okay to be upset, but you don't need to be mean about anything
ReplyDeleteUsing static images is fine, but gifs are a major turn-off for me, (in posts in general, not just reviews). They're so distracting; don't you want me to focus on your words?
ReplyDeleteI like to see the title, author, publication date, if it's part of a series, and genre. I like the summary - whether official or in the blogger's own words - to be set apart somehow rather than just blending into the rest of the review. And I definitely prefer when bloggers include a rating.
I guess I'm more picky about format than content, when it comes to reviews.
