As an author, I have a policy of not reading reviews (and I succeed about 75 percent of the time - dammed GR dashboard). <br /><br />I wish authors didn't worry so much about reviews. I buy books from bad reviews (and they are ALWAYS the ones I read first). Too much sex, I'll take it. He's not an Alpha, I'll buy it. If everyone loved it and can't say why, I usually skip it. Not everything pleases everyone.<br /><br />As a reader, I'm just looking for honest, and I make my decision from there.Sylvie Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526599609381373834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-6909087289272191382013-03-11T23:59:25.476-04:002013-03-11T23:59:25.476-04:00No problem.

And for the review, of...Thanks for hosting me, Jen! And for the review, of course. I have heard that negative reviews make one seem more "legit"--we all know that not everyone loves every book, and also that, sadly, some authors have faked reviews. And I do think that a reader has every right to say what she thought of a book. As you say, you invested the time and money to buy and read it. I've written a few myself--if a book offends me, mainly, on some sort of moral/ethical grounds. So, review away! (But thanks for liking mine, LOL.)
