Well, hopefully lessons are being learned from all sides so friendlier venues can be created.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-21959498637780739332013-09-30T20:33:15.760-04:002013-09-30T20:33:15.760-04:00Right.

Folks value what their friends and family think of a product, even more so than a review from a stranger.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-51284960667049101652013-09-30T20:15:53.217-04:002013-09-30T20:15:53.217-04:00Geez whiz, how sad is it that reviews have come to...Geez whiz, how sad is it that reviews have come to this? Try to set up something useful for readers, and a bunch of losers hijack it. :-( Thanks for the tips though. Those are really good things to keep in mind.

Having just collected a few "nickel nasties" for my books on Amazon, and already possessing a few on Goodreads, I'm now glad I got some good reviews while they were worth something. I used to treasure them...and now I'm afraid no one believes them. Readers, if you like a book, please tell a friend, or offer to loan them a copy. I've got no problem with someone loaning my books in any format to friends or family to try them out. At this point I'm just happy if someone is reading them and enjoying them. Great post, Mysti :)Tara Fox Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754949710437719259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-43365929568825434852013-09-28T08:00:11.076-04:002013-09-28T08:00:11.076-04:00Now if only Amazon would take the hint Mysti. ;)Now if only Amazon would take the hint Mysti. ;)Jack Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601041734648407356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-20491316742047731032013-09-27T16:19:04.309-04:002013-09-27T16:19:04.309-04:00Obviously, we can't trust your review, TJ, but...Obviously, we can't trust your review, TJ, but thanks anyway! :)<br /><br />Yeah, really does make you wonder what you can trust anymore. Certainly, folks need to get wise and do some digging instead of relying on others to tell them what to think.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190451394398154097.post-89077662523828380822013-09-27T14:59:25.181-04:002013-09-27T14:59:25.181-04:00First, I just have to say, This is the best blogsi...First, I just have to say, This is the best blogsite on the web. If i need to know anything about writing this is my first stop. If I could I would give this blog ten stars! :P<br /><br />Mysti, great post! I am always wary of the reviews I see and don't believe half of them. Makes you think, huh?<br /><br />~TJTJnoreply@blogger.com
