Let’s talk about reviews. Book reviews that is.
These days we rely on reviews. We read reviews all the time, for just about everything. And we certainly check the reviews before we buy or read a book. Why? Because we are so inundated with content that we have to pick and chose what we give our attention to.
As a writer, I am grateful for anyone who takes the time to write a review, even a negative one. A negative review still means that that person read your work and connected with it. They were moved enough by your work to write down all their thoughts on it and share those with the world. And sure those may be mean thoughts but hey, they read your book. That’s hours of their life they’ll never get back!
Personally, I am terrible at remembering to write reviews. If you check out my Goodreads page, I have added 284 books and reviewed 1. And it’s not even an accurate list of what I’ve read because I keep that in a notebook in my ottoman.
That’s beside the point. The point is that, even though I myself cannot remember to write a review to save my life, I am not above sheepishly asking all of you to post reviews for Celebrity Spin Doctor.
Where should we post these reviews, some of you may ask. Goodreads would be awesome. Amazon if you can. Or BN, Kobo, or iBooks (if that’s where you got the book from). And please be honest.
