Author Appreciation-- Besides OnlineBookClub.org, where is a good place for authors to get book reviews?

Post by Scott »

This topic is not only of interest to authors, but it is also of interest of readers who want to help out their favorite authors and books by reviewing those book on third-party websites.

For instance, if there is an author's whose work I absolutely love, I don't want to just leave one review on website (e.g. Amazon), but rather I want to leave my 5-star reviews on multiple different websites.

So, let me ask, to readers and authors alike, besides OnlineBookClub.org and Amazon, where do you think the best places are to leave a review of a book.

Here are some options:


Australia

QBD Books

Angus & Robertson

Booktopia

Catch



UK

Waterstones

Bookshop.org

AbeBooks

Alibris

Blackwells

Foyles

World of Books



USA, Canada, and Global

Walmart

Target

Audible

indigo.ca

Barnes & Noble

Booksamillion

BetterWorldBooks

Audiobooks.com

knetbooks

Springer.com

routledge.com

GraphicAudio

BiggerBooks

AudiobooksNow

veryfinebooks.com

abebooks.com

valorebooks.com

ebooks.com

summary.com

bookshop.org

chirpbooks.com

kidsbooks.com

justkidsbooks.com

litvideobooks.com

Me too! I leave a Goodreads review and use it to find other books by the same author :)
