Guess you have to take the bad with the good, huh?<br /><br />Maria - It would be nice if Goodreads COULD enforce a rule like that, but I don't know how they could. The reviewer could still LIE and say they read it.<br /><br />Jennette - I love updating my lists! I have bunches, too.

I've read about the bullying that goes on there sometimes, and just want to stay as far away from that as possible.<br /><br />I keep a list of books I read each year in a Word doc. But sometimes I forget to update it!Jennette Marie Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992037939637425401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-62760431443558946642016-11-07T09:07:35.217-05:002016-11-07T09:07:35.217-05:00I have an account at Goodreads but I don't go ...I have an account at Goodreads but I don't go there anymore. I wish Goodreads had a rule that said you had to have READ the book before leaving a review. <br /><br />Trolls that leave baseless reviews hurt everyone, and maybe that's their goal.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-40242247090720023962016-11-07T07:28:05.110-05:002016-11-07T07:28:05.110-05:00Cool you won the license plate holder!
I don't...Cool you won the license plate holder!<br />I don't get it when people post reviews of books they haven't read. My books have had a couple of those slip in. Negative people will just always be negative I guess.Alex J.

The "review without reading" is silly, though if I've read a book by an author, I might be tempted to say, "I haven't read <i>this</i> book, but I read <i>that</i> book, and based on that I [would never read another thing by this author again][am eagerly anticipating reading this]." What I can't stomach are the reviews that devolve into personal attacks. That makes even less sense to me.<br /><br />Enjoy your week!JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.com
