I am a writer,( Patreon here) but I'm on Goodreads to talk about books, as I've been a passionate reader as long as I've been a writer—since early childhood. I'm not going to rate books—there are too many variables. I'd rather talk about the reading experience. My 'reviews' of my books are confined to the writing process.
