It's fun! I learn a lot. One way of saying, me too can contribute on my humble capacity. Besides, reviewers are initial readers.

I love that you discover books and authors that you normally wouldn't stumble upon. It's a great way to broaden your reading scope and connect with authors afterward as you start following their social media sites, etc. and feeling like a part of their story in some way.

I have always loved to read and writing has become something I have learned to enjoy. I love the opportunity to read books I may not have all while improving my writing. The opportunity to react with authors is fantastic as well. Lastly, I like to tell others about good literature.

What I like about reviewing is the fact that I am given the opportunity to express myself honestly about something that I have read. I also gain a lot of knowledge just by reading all these books.

I am usually a speed reader so I miss a lot of the wonderful descriptive phrases. When I am reviewing a book I read each sentence thoroughly and I take notes. This enhances the reading experience and I enjoy the books more.

I like having the opportunity to discover new books. It also allows me to not only dig deep into the book, but to take notes on it, discovering what works and doesn't work. I can then translate that into my own writing or not.

With online book club, I have started reviewing recently. It definitely benefits others who want to read a particular book, that they can get an idea about the book and decide whether to read it or not. And for me, I get exposed to a plenty of books to read and my reviews are being reviewed so, I can improve my reviewing and writing skills
We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.

Expressing myself and my thoughts while also helping rising author's find exposure. Also, sharing opinions with people equally as passionate about reading as me, it's a lot of fun!
