If I like the book, I tell friends about it and if I own the book, lend it out.Marilyn Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424778692932139865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-45430492480618341282013-04-27T09:46:31.404-05:002013-04-27T09:46:31.404-05:00What a great idea, Cathy!

I needed more 'closure' at the end of a book - it didn't seem enough to click the last page and move on! My review blog also acts as an anthology/record of all the ebooks I've read. Reviewing a book makes me think and reflect on what I've just read. It's surprising how much more I get out of it.CatherineShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836067038275663386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-65448031281090258182013-04-27T08:11:31.143-05:002013-04-27T08:11:31.143-05:00I never thought of that, Shannon, but it's a g...I never thought of that, Shannon, but it's a good idea.
