Did you know that 99% of the reading public never post a review for a book? That’s quite a staggering percentage.
At Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team (six years and going strong!), we often look at ways to encourage more people to review. This autumn, Rosie has planned a Review-A-Book Challenge, with a great list of books to choose from, all free of charge to anyone serious about writing a review for her blog – and possibly joining the review team, if you enjoy the process.
Each day for a week or so, she will feature articles on how to write simple reviews, on choosing a star rating, and many more. The challenge is open to all, from experienced reviewers to those who have never written one. If this has piqued your interest and you would like to take a look at the books on offer, please click here.
I’ve been a member of the team more or less from the start and have found many great authors and books that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Most genres are covered and below is just a sample of what’s on offer to get you started.
99% – interesting! I’ve often wondered if there was a way to figure out how many copies of a book sold on the basis of the number of reviews on Goodreads. So from now on I’ll multiply by 100 – makes sense, because quite often even quite popular books are lucky if they get a couple of hundred reviews.

I didn’t realise the percentage was so high! It is a shame more people don’t review when you consider the work that goes into writing a book.
