There are other ways to support your fellow authors.<br /><br />Thanks for following my blog.

I liked your book reviews, though I did notice you did give away a bit for those who hadn't read them.<br /><br />I don't know if I'm bad at them or not. I've only done a few on my blog, but I do them all the time on Goodreads. On 08/12, I'm doing one for a soon-to-be published book I was a beta reader for. I'd better read the book (again)!Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-21028611402106214332011-08-02T09:52:26.973-05:002011-08-02T09:52:26.973-05:00Nice.

There have been some exceptions when I've just had the overpowering urge to ramble on (yes, ramble!) about a fabulous book. But for the most part, I stick to GoodReads for spewing my thoughts about books.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-67745535879367599082011-07-29T20:32:15.950-05:002011-07-29T20:32:15.950-05:00You might reconsider.

Ignore all your feelings and summarize the book the way all the synopsis guides tell you to. Then, when you write the synopsis for your own novel, you’ll be able to handle it more objectively.Mark Muratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562597698193306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223068889792863979.post-45492137250253494052011-07-29T09:38:38.212-05:002011-07-29T09:38:38.212-05:00and thats that!

Plus I worry I'll say too much and give the book away or not enough of the right things so others won't know how awesome a read it is. So many blogs have book reviews, you could stand out in a great way by NOT having them. :)<br /><br />I’m delighted to be a new follower and have left a response to your comment on Bird’s-eye View at http://michellefayard.blogspot.com/2011/07/getting-blog-comments-to-work-for-you.html.Michelle Fayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323853315988838877noreply@blogger.com
