Write an original review of a book that you know well and that you'd be happy for us to publish on Bookbag. It doesn't matter if you loved it or loathed it, but we'd prefer a book we haven't already reviewed. Include an idea of the plot, but make the bulk of what you write your opinion of it. The ideal length is 500-800 words, but it's not a deal-breaker. Use the review format which you'll find [[Review Format|here]] and please check your grammar and spelling! | Write an original review of a book that you know well and that you'd be happy for us to publish on Bookbag.
