This paper presents an annotated metadata corpus of English language book reviews from Goodreads and annotation guidelines developed to tag online book reviews for mentions of story world absorption. The metadata corpus includes the segments of each review that have been annotated, the annotation category, the title and author of the book that is reviewed, the rating, the genre of the book reviewed, the length of the review in characters and tokens, and the on- and offset of the annotation. The corpus and guidelines could be used to further investigate the experience of absorption during reading.
