I know it is th...For a minute there I was confused. I know it is the first, but I checked to see if it was APRIL first. I figured this was an April Fools Joke. Then I thought Hmmm... I could be making a mint on this. But I would never charge for a review. And I can't see how a single review would make a difference. I would like to think they do, but realistically, it is more the number and average number of 'stars' or whatever rating system is used that sells more books than a single review. I even feel guilty asking an author for a copy for a review. Whether or not I paid for a book never affects my reviews. But if I was being PAID for a review, it most certainly would affect what I write about it. I have been a professional reader, but for universities and schools, reading for the blind. A novel? I just can't imagine it. If any author wants a review, I or any of dozens of others I know will be glad to read your book for nothing more than an ecopy we can put on our computer, Nook or Kindle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442948082329599017noreply@blogger.com
