I have beef with Amazon! Not only have they blocked me from putting up reviews because I am an author (other authors have told me the same thing) but they took down my reviews of books I liked.

Another thing. Amazon does not want friends reviewing books. I have made friends with other writers. That’s what writers do. Make friends. I’m told that Amazon searches the social media of authors, editors, publishers and bloggers to see if they are putting up reviews of writers they have some kind of relationship with. Big Brother is watching.

I understand that there are review scammers out there. So let me say this: I only review if I LOVE a book. I don’t bother reviewing a book I don’t like. Writers work hard and a lot of the affinity for a book is subjective. There is a reader for every book. I guess because of that, it looks like I am putting up biased reviews.

So I’ll just have to put up reviews on my Facebook pages (personal and my fan page), here on my blog, and on Goodreads. Gary and I are maniac readers and read a wide range of genres. So check here for suggestions for your next book.
