#ScribesAndMakers Have you ever written a review of someone's creative work?
I review ARCs through NetGalley fairly often.
Personally, I don’t take much notice of online book reviews made by strangers. I’m more likely to pick up a book recommended through word of mouth in my social circles than by some random person on the internet. Besides, the blurb and the first page should be enough to keep me reading. I know my own tastes.
