In fact, my editor told me once that it isn't good to get all 4's and 5's - no book is universally loved and if it isn't getting a few neg reviews then it's not being widely read. When you write you make yourself vulnerable and it's a risk you take. If you're not willing to take it, you shouldn't be publishing. Life is tough enough - I've no time for the haters. Sorry this reviewer got bullied and I truly hope it won't stop her from continuing to review honestly. Those are the only kind of reviews worth having.Cara Sue Achterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700233615162786243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556784940389274782.post-54014554430187296032016-04-14T00:38:19.398-07:002016-04-14T00:38:19.398-07:00It really is a problem and we as reviewers and rea...It really is a problem and we as reviewers and readers shouldn't have to put up with that crap. I was so mad after goodreads took down my little note about not reading a author that bullies reviewers that it drove me crazy. I had to write my thoughts Thank God for blogs!

It's like a mean girl from high school that has gone way over the top! It's insane!!!! I've had people tell me that my books just aren't for them. Honestly, if every person I encountered LOVED my books, I'd be pretty sure that they were all full of it! The fact is that everyone has different taste. It just is what it is. And I read the original review where the author went crazy and asked everyone to "flag that b****" and didn't even see anything wrong with it. The reviewer even had points in there about why other people may like the book despite the fact that she didn't. This whole mess was like watching a train wreck. The only thing that makes me even more mad is the fact that this author is getting even more attention from this whole thing!Ashley Gallegoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668493453924852051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556784940389274782.post-33554515950846640522016-04-13T21:46:56.826-07:002016-04-13T21:46:56.826-07:00wow. shameful. wow. shameful.

Typical behavior of a spoiled brat to surround herself with yes men, but to actually encourage them to attack someone who was a lot nicer about her review than she had to be? Pathetic. Hopefully this little Diva Author learns some humility. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747371028372782294noreply@blogger.com
