I know that Goodreads was plagued with 'revenge reviewers' who gave out one-star ratings to authors they hated. In all the Goodreads review groups I participated in, I only saw one reviewer hand out a one-star review - and that book was horrible in terms of plot, writing style, and characterization. I almost gave it two stars, but upped it to three at the last minute because of the effort.

Yeah...I am a softy. I give one star more than I think I should sometimes. Being a writer is hard. I have sympathy.

The only book I wanted to ding though was just a retelling one of our elections. Its not really my type of humor, and even admitting that, I still found it unfunny.

Picked up another from authentic. But somehow am on track for 24 and not 25. Gonna have to hit them one more time.

Well...with the last reading round completed, I still have 23 reviews, and did not reach the 25 I was after. I am not sure how the math ended up being so wrong. but... I have gone back to Authentic for the remaining two. I see their library is getting backed up, and I just cleared out 4 of them, by leaving my own reviews to get points.

Dale Roberts self help books are all over it. I find it hard to believe he is reading enough to get enough points to post so many things. He must have worked something out with them.

In the reading round, I really struggled reading the last book assigned to me. I just reached my reading limit and didn't want to do it anymore.

For whatever reason, several of my last reviewers from Authentic/Bookroar were from Australia, and those reviews took ages to show up elsewhere.

All of my Bookroar reviews were foreign, and took a while to show up. Some of them do not show up on the US marketplace. I would use bookroar again, but Authentic is much easier to use. Like any place though, not so many want the longer books.

Well...Just got notified of another review going up from Authentic, but when I go to look, its not there...

Its a little aggravating, cause really I should have enough reviews to be at 28-30, but I am still lingering at 23. 25, of course, has been my goal for a while. Show the damn reviews please, Amazon. They are legit, they just are not from the US. Grrrr....

In regards to my review from an Authentic type that got all my character names wrong, Authentic asked them to fix it and they did. So...I am happy now, and I have 25 reviews :) I started up the ads again. 2 clicks so far, which is a greater rate than before, but....no sales ;) course, I just started it last night. I will hit up some other places soon.
