Wow! You guys (you and Shonali) are so passionate about reading that you deprive yourselves of sleep! For me, sleep is more important. I love sleeping! smiley36 I also watch Kdrama. I really enjoyed watching The Korean Odyssey, Hellbound (mainly the first season), All of Us are Dead, Legend of the Blue Sea, My Demon and definitely Squid Game. I'm eagerly waiting for season 3 of Squid Game.

I understand the rating section in the sheet but why do we have a review section too? God forbid a girl (read me) is bad at reviews and upon that, to be able to write a short length one is even more difficult smiley38

Yes, I agree. Even I don't want to rate and review books. But I think one sentence is sufficient. You don't need to write long reviews there.

Examples-

The Locked Door- It's a fast-paced thriller with an interesting plot.

Tell Me Your Dreams- The author captured the psychological aspect of a person wonderfully in this intriguing thriller.

I mean those columns are there for those who want to use them. If you don’t, simply leave them blank. Mandatory columns are book title and pages, that’s it.

Links are for those who are reading FFs or online fiction. You don’t need to add Amazon links

I think people can write one sentence or two sentences for a book in the comments/review section instead of a full review of one paragraph. Am I right?

Sure. Write if you want to. Leave it blank if you don’t.

Also comments don’t always have to be reviews. It can also be things like - Started this in April and continuing from page xyz in May, it can be personal notes - anything at all. Me - I like to review because I want to recall what I felt about the book much later, and just the star rating doesn’t tell me why I did or didn’t like it.

Yes. Only log pages you read in May in the May challenge. Whatever you finish in April should go in the April challenge.
