Introducing the Three Reasons Review Format

Over the past few months, Staci from Life In the Thumb, and I have discussed ways of making reviews easier.  Some books don't require an in-depth review or are too long and complicated, so that quick thoughts or comments about the book are easier for a review.  Through our conversations the Three Reasons Review was born.  (Staci will tell you she had very little input, but don't listen to her.  She listened to me and gave advice, which counts in my book.  Staci is just super modest.)

The Three Reasons Review is a simple way to get your thoughts out there about a book.  The reasons are as follows complete with fancy button:


1.) Reasons you chose this book

2.) Reasons you liked or disliked this book

3.) Reasons you are recommending this book





I hope you like this and please feel free to use this format and button on your blog too.  Life can crazy at times and any method for streamlining a review can be helpful.

Enjoy your weekend and happy reading my Pumpkins!

Thanks Willa :)
Nice idea!
*applauds*
Bravo, Bravo!

I approve of the button too, very cute. I am sure to use this one when I am in a hurry or just wants to make it simple and still say all that needs to be said

Be my guest! When you're behind on your reviews this format should help, or least provide a good starting point.
Yay!! I love the button...you are talented!!!! I'm going to go back and edit my posts where I used this format!!!

Thanks Staci! Please don't go back and edit. That's just crazy.
What a great idea! I'll keep it in mind for when I'm stuck for what to say (which seems to keep happening lately).

Yes review writing runs in cycles. Sometimes they are easy othere times not so much. Thanks Nymeth.
I've seen this format used by other bloggers before. Maybe I should try it out with a couple reviews.

It's great for book where there may not be this great analysis and you just liked the book. Plus it's good in a pinch!
Great idea Jen, and love the button, I do like nice buttons LOL. I think I should give this a go, maybe it will help me get the review backlog under control :)

Thanks Teddy. Don't even get me started on the review back log. Ha! It will get done eventually , right?
Great Idea!! I think some reviewers make the mistake of telling us the entire story!!

I love your blog so much!! I am a new follower!!

Thanks Kel! And thanks for the following and no worries about the HTML.
oops.. sorry about the HTML tag!!!
Jen I gave your review format a go, can't say it condensed my review LOL but it certainly made it easier to write. Thanks I'll be using it again :) http://teddyree-theeclecticreader.blogspot.com/20...

Easier to write, that was my point exactly.� sometimes it's hard to formulate a review for whatever reason.� Hope this helps :)
What a great idea. I may have to try it with a review I'm having trouble with.
