But to an individual author that I don't really know, it can have horrible consequences: some authors get very nasty if it isn't a glowing 5 star review. (I didn't know this at the time I sent you a link to my 4 star review of your book.)Girl Who Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567066995224650190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-45377494260787032372015-06-19T08:05:34.657-04:002015-06-19T08:05:34.657-04:00Your welcome.

I'd just add ...This is a great piece, Donna. <br /><br />I'd just add that what new/small authors may not realize is that a lot of the time, popular/more established writers are being pitched to bigger book bloggers by representatives from their publishing companies, who in turn offer better exposure to the bloggers.<br /><br />I had a general idea of how much work you do here, but seeing the data really drove the point home and I'm in even more awe of you. <br /><br />Thank you for all you do. You (and other book bloggers) are an important conduit between writers and readers and you're very much appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-62054322315348688692015-06-18T21:12:09.327-04:002015-06-18T21:12:09.327-04:00It's so hard to find the time to write about w...It's so hard to find the time to write about what's important to us; all the more so when those important things are time-consuming in and of themselves.
