Yesterday I posted How to Properly Spoil a Book (Part 2) but realized this morning that I forgot to mention a few more things. This is why I’m posting Part 2.1 as a follow-up.

Two weeks ago I talked about spoilers and how they are the worst. I then explained how to use spoiler tags on Goodreads and BookLikes.

Lately, I’ve noticed that I barely glance at blurbs anymore before deciding if I want to read a book. I mean, I do read synopses for the most part before adding a book to my TBR list but after that I forget.

Book reviews are very useful for various reasons. Reviewers get to share their love for books and can look back on their reviews in future if they want to remember what a particular book was about.

Last week there was this interesting opinion piece in the SundayReview of The New York Times, Scribbling in the Margins. The writer, Andrew D. Scrimgeour argued that readers writing in their books is the greatest tribute to authors.
