- One hour earned per one paragraph review letting us know what you liked/didn't like about the book and why others may (or may not) be interested in reading it
- Don't just say "This was a great book" or "I hated this book". We want to know the details!
- Ask yourself, How would you talk to a friend about this book?
- Think about the kind of things that you look for in a book review, and try to include those elements.
- Tell us the title and the author of the book.
- Limit of 5 reviews (a one paragraph review per book) per person for the year
