Shelf Awareness discussion

I usually start mine with a quote and then my thoughts. Next I proceed to give the introduction, plot and characters. Yeah that's how most of my recent reviews are and I think it's pretty boring!
How do you people write yours? Maybe I'll get some ideas to make mine better...

I start with a quote (not for ARC reviews), write the rating and a spoiler/trigger warning (if needed), and a small paragraph like an introduction. Then I write what I liked/loved about the book (characters, plot, etc.) and then what I disliked/hated. And lastly whether I would recomment it or not.

No fixed format as such. But my most common format is where I give an intro, the story without any spoilers, what I liked, what I didn't like, audiobook feedback if applicable, and final opinion. I make it point not to reveal spoilers unless absolutely necessary. I never use GIFs or slang language or an exaggerated use of adjectives as it tends to make a review look less professional. I had read somewhere that you must review with the author and target audience in mind, so a review isn't for yourself or your feelings alone but for others to know how the book might work for them. This is my golden rule.

I take notes on the notes app on my phone while I'm reading the book and that will shape my review. I also always include content/trigger warnings

i honestly just write what i want. i don't have a structure if there is a quote i love i will add it. for arcs tho i mention if its worth buying or not

same! I just write whatever comes xD sometimes only one line, lol
