I'm surprised that books and novels are under entertainment but not poetry, even under that subheading. Also, there's a category for criticism but not reviews, criticism being more academic (not to mention critical) than a review. Any chance these could be added ("poetry" somewhere under entertainment and "review" there as well)
Hi Jen,
Both books and poems are under the category:
Books, Writing, and Literature
There's no category for "review" because the term is ambiguous. From a certain perspective, any book about any subject could could be a "review" about that subject.
If you are planning to write a book review, I would suggest putting the category in "Books" and then put the term "Book Review" in the title.
I do something similar when I write movie reviews. I put it in the movie category and then I have "Movie Review: [movie name]" in the title.
Cheers,
-Larry

What are the rules for using cover art in a book review on Hubpages?I believe cover art is copyrighted material, but is there a way to use it on Hubpages if you are reviewing the book? It would help readers identify the book in question.
