Reader Reviews of Page-Turners - An Introduction.
Continuing on my passion as an Author, Writer, Blogger, Wordsmith, I am happy to bring forth my innermost passion of presenting Reader Reviews of Page-Turners.
As we all know; a book review not only tells the reader about what the Book is about, but also how successful the book has been in bringing forth what the Author wants to convey. It involves accurate analytical reading both from the viewpoint of the Author and my own personal response to the subject as well as the way it has been presented to the reader.
So; in a way writing a Book review is like describing what is in the Book, analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose, while also expressing my own reactions to it.
The thought of taking up Reader Reviews as an extension of my being an Author myself was a dormant dream in my mind since many years. I was indeed blessed with a skill of reading voraciously, sometimes so to say "Reading between the lines", grasping the topic, analyzing both the subject and the way it was presented, and then forming my own opinion or thoughts about what I felt about the whole process. I would take down notes, and form a complete sketch of the where - with - all of the book.
I would then muse on my writing and opinions themselves almost in introspective analyis or critical appreciation of my own analysis. That made me empower my knowledge about the subject as well as understand the finer points of the whole process of Book writing and how the structure of the book and style of writing can make or break it.
Over the years, I was reading at will and following the same procedure of reviewing and analyzing the contents and structure of the book. But I never took it up seriously until I started Publishing myself. It was then that I also started to understand the nuances of publishing. I again reviewed the challenges faced and a subtle comparison between Conventional Publishing and Sel-Publishing.
The Picture was getting clearer to me and it was then that I took a decision of taking up Book Reviews as a complimentary task along with writing and publishing my own Books.
I have always loved challenges in that I am proud to say that I researched, reviewed, and followed the process of "Learn and De-Learn" until I had achieved a fair level of proficiency in whatever part of the Book Publishing process I was taking part in.
As of today I feel proud to say that inspite of the fact that it becomes very tiring especially at my age of 65+ and with God's Blessing still going strong, I do all the stages of publishing the book myself upto the part of uploading the Manuscript onto the respective platforms.
As I self-publish my books the process is a lenghty one and well known to you all but as a matter of curiosity, and eagerness, I will spell out all that I do.
It starts with the identifying the core topic / genre / of what my Book will be written on. Then comes the conceptualizing and thought generation of the whole storyline, key takeaways that I would like the reader to read, understand and soak into themselves. The rest is every stage of the structure of the book, from the title, sub-title, total content, formatting of chapters, parts of the Book, Cover design, editing, formatting and submission of manuscript on Amazon Kindle or the Publishers Self-Publishing dashboard.
As already is known, not the least to mention is the editing managing of each stage until final teaser preview of book and final submission for publishing. Each and every fine step is done by myself.
As I said the process is tiring but that allowed me to know where and why the books I review fare with the standard Book layout and content guidelines we normally hold as a thumb rule for a Best sellers. It gave me a deep insight into where I could go wrong, or what I could have done better, and this helped me not only in writing and publishing my own books, but also in my reviews.
I finally decided to take up the challenge as a Book Reviewer and share and post my Reader Reviews about the books I have read and will continue to read in the times to come. It was a dream come true. I felt deeply that rather than posting my short reviews on the respective Platforms that the Books are published; like Amazon, Flipkart, Goodreads, and the resepctive publishing platforms of the Authors It would be a much more demanding, but yet enjoyable experience to write a proper "Reader Review" of the Books I was reading.
I already have two book which I have specifically written about my personal experience while reading those books. The first being "Personalities and Books that change your life! - An anthology of exemplars of eminence, and their books!" and the second one being "Books and Scriptures That Changed My Life - The Inspiration that led me to become an Author".
I am now happy to inform you that I will be publishing my "Reader Reviews of Page-Turners" through my Blog Posts, Articles on various Literary platforms so that the reviews reach a wider audience, and these exemplars of eminence and their books as I have rightly mentioned in my own book get a much wider audience that they already are getting and will continue to get.
These Books deserve more than that, and for me it will be an honor to be a part of bringing those masterpieces to you all.
