I figure the author doesn't need my unkind thoughts. Or my lack of taste. ;-)<br /><br />I also only review reasonably new books. I've been working through my library (I am NOT a book hoarder! At least, not any more) and a 20 or 30 or 40 year old book doesn't need my reviews.Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker and Mantua-Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513482264195697450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-65401794279455725932019-10-01T08:54:15.806-05:002019-10-01T08:54:15.806-05:00I don't "review" books. I read them....I don't "review" books. I read them. I toss up my thoughts with a rating on Goodreads, mainly to keep myself apprised of what I've read and liked. I occasionally drop a review on Amazon if the author/book is in need of reviews. And yeah, lets not get into Amazon and how they do/do not police reviews. If I buy a book and like it, it shouldn't matter if I know the author or not! At the same time, $h!+-style book-mill authors shouldn't be able to game the system. <br /><br />And...I said I wasn't going to discuss it. Yeah...moving on.
