I've heard stories of bloggers who only review books to get free books from authors and publishers or get the privileges that we do. And that's just...no. Just no. Bloggers should be reviewing books o introduce readers to new books, to share our opinions, and to help our favorite authors ge the word out! Not to gain more books from publishers, NetGalley, authors, and blog trades! I'm telling you, if you just blog o get that stuff, you might as well just end your blogging days. People can tell when you actually care about reading and when you don't. You do not want to mess with angry readers. Why? Because readers have the best social networking around. And trust me, they will kill your blog. So when you actually take reviewing seriously and stop cheating readers, then go ahead and blog. I have no protests against that. Anyways, if you've read this entire things, thanks fo not getting bored and throwing our computer out the window! I do rant.Thursday, April 12, 2012

Welcome all! I'd love to hear what you think, even if they're lies saying that my reviews are fantastic. I take flattery in all forms ;D
