News & Updates

Ok I cannot lie I have been so slack!!!! I finally got my internet back up and instead of writing reviews I have been catching up on shows and resting. Not to make any excuses but in my line of work mental health is essential and taking a time out is much needed.

I know authors depend on reviews and I promise I am going to get back to doing what I do. But I have to give a shout out to Author D.A. Young ( I haven't forgotten about you). Her latest book A Circle of Friends is a great mix of a coming of age story and hot romance!! Let me tell you this lady knows how to tell a story with well developed characters. I always say this but I cannot wait to read the next story from her.

So one of the things that I love to do is to read other peoples reviews. I know some other reviewers will say that they don't read reviews they just post. But I live for reviews!!! I think they are very telling. I say that to say that just recently a book dropped from a well known IR author and all of the reviews I saw at the time either 5 or 1 star said nothing about the book but the upload issues on Amazon. The one star reviews were complaints because the book didn't upload. That's not a review for the book BUT one for Amazon. So in defense the authors fans posted five star reviews stating that yes it was upload issues but don't rate a book before you read it. Now I do agree that Amazon shouldn't allow people to post reviews until they read the story. But the 5 star reviewers stated they didn't read the story either but that the author was great. So I am confused!!! You mad about people reviewing without reading story  but you are doing the same thing just in favor of the author?! Amazon has got to do a better job at policing these reviews. As many times as they remove my reviews or wont post them I am shocked that they allow that mess with the non-reviews to continue. I was going to be a little petty and state some other mess I recently witnessed about some of these authors and the whole issue of publishing on the same day and the drama behind that. BUT I won't go there but I will love to see how it all plays out.

**On another note this is political season so people don't forget to vote or register to vote.**

So while I haven't been very vocal on my blog I have been reading!!! I have discovered so many new books and cant wait to share my thoughts on them. Coming up next from me will be my review on D.A. Young's new book Perfectly Imperfect. I had to slow myself down because this book was just that good and I honestly wanted to savor it. Baby, when I tell you this lady can write!!! This book right here was so good I am sitting on this review just to make sure I am not leaving anything out!

Also later on I will have to share my "experience" with a very popular author whom I will not name about doing an upcoming review and how shady the whole thing was. Some of these authors man! But I wont get into too much now just please stay tuned!
