The claim is it turns off readers from discussing it because they're aware the author is watching or something. But then I hear that other book reviewers love it. The safe bet would probably be email them a thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-79162260753452477272016-07-10T09:15:08.130-04:002016-07-10T09:15:08.130-04:00That's amazing to be compared to Stephen King....That's amazing to be compared to Stephen King.

I don't think the person had ever read King. But I'll take it!<br />So they do pull them, for unknown reasons. No, on Amazon I make no comment! On GR I hit 'like' on blogs that I know I'll comment and if I know the reviewer who's posted to Amazon I'll send an email.<br />Co-hosting was a blast, thank you!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.com
