What do you think of people who write book reviews? Well, that is what I just got hired to do for two sites and maybe a third. I started on one site but the other ones will not start till after Easter or Spring Break whatever you want to call it. I like the idea of being a book reviewer. It is a job that lets me read and write and share ideas and opinions. I will not get rich but I will make enough to live on in my retirement it looks like finally after trying to find a job for close to four years.

Congratulations to you. Book reviewing has always interested me but I think that I would not have the courage to read constantly. On the other hand it would take me off from being online as much so I should consider it. I enjoy reading though not every genre of books. But thank you for your post and for suggesting this type of relaxing work or rather leisure activity.

@marky7 Let me guess: Stephen King and his genre?

There is one genre of book that I cannot really read a lot of and I am not going to mention it even though who ever writes it usually makes a lot of money and it is several steps passed romance.

That is great you are getting to do this. That is something I would like to do but don't know which sites offer it.

I just went on Yahoo.com and used search words for writing book reviews for pay.

Sounds like a wonderful job. Best of luck. And I can't begin to tell you how insanely jealous I am. But seriously, best of luck!

All I know it is a good thing that I like to read and write. I actually found a job that is going to be fun and I can say that phrase some rich people say 'Living the Dream".

That sounds like an interesting thing to do. Do you select the books, or do they?

@marky7 That is good, as I only like to read certain kinds of books.

I have written a number of book reviews. It's a personal opinion like anything else. Enjoy it if you do them.

I always wanted to do this. It is a form of journalism and creativity to make someone want to read something that the reader will make time for and not a waste of time.

I'm not that much into reading. My primary effort is directed toward the Bible. But in my old age, I tend to watch movies, rather than read books. Typically top-notch material such as Bleak House.

Haven't write book reviews as I do not read books but I agree IT IS a good job and you can make a good money online doing it.

Awesome! What better way to earn money by reading and giving feedback of a book? Heck, are they hiring? Lol. I'd love to get paid for reading and reviewing.

The one part of the site does not pay but they also have a literary magazine that after I write three will be my samples for their magazine does pay.
