Thanks Melissa! The whole thing completely changed my mind about negative reviews too. I’d never have thought it can be good for books, but it makes so much sense!
Excellent!! I will be bringing up this article at book club. Reading "West With Giraffes" for book club.
Reading "The Moon is Down" by John Steinbeck, Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks, "What Is The What" by Dave Eggers and "True Grit" by Charles Portis just for me.
Oh wow, I’m so glad you got so much out of our chat! I love talking and thinking out loud with Sara about books and book culture.
It changed everything for me. Particularly that talking shit about books is good for books. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this article!
Thank you for reading it!
Great article! You have changed my opinion on “negative” reviews. I’ve subscribed and look forward to reading more.

I rarely read mainstream book reviews. Strangely, I’m always fascinated when people talk about their favourite books though. 🙃
It teaches us so much about that person! What they like, what their quirks are, etc. I love hearing about peoples' favorites!
definitely!
