Remind me to bring cupcakes next time to help ease the pain.

]]> Comment on Love: my question of the week by JoanneBest http://readfulthingsblog.com/2013/05/17/love-my-question-of-the-week/comment-page-1/#comment-7888 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:15:31 +0000 http://readfulthingsblog.com/?p=1799#comment-7888 Yes yes a million times yes! I feel closer to some of the people I’ve met online only than some people I see every day. It’s as if there are no barriers when it comes to being honest, like there is less worry of being judged if that makes sense. There isn’t anything I can say that hasn’t already been said here but speaking for myself, due to circumstances beyond our control, aka Life, the person I am closest to became my sanity just through email exchanges. A blank page becomes filled with words that can keep me going while I can sit in a room face to face with someone I “know” and feel alone.

So many things I’d like to say to this reviewer… I have no problem with leaving a review if you read half of a book and couldn’t/didn’t want to finish it (why waste time if the book’s not doing it for you?), but after a preview or just a few chapters? No, sorry, your opinion is nothing people couldn’t decide for themselves by reading the same preview you did, and your star rating is negatively affecting something you didn’t even give a chance to win you over.

Yes, that last sentence was convoluted. I’m angry. Amazon/Goodreads/whoever should take down reviews in which people admit they didn’t read much of the book. It’s like seeing a shirt on the rack in a store, not liking it, and leaving negative feedback on an independent… clothing review site. Is that a thing? You know what I mean.

I’m glad Charles is taking this so well, though. That’s the only way to approach it and stay sane, I think,

You know some of those verses would be great on Tshirts and coffee mugs – a whole new spin-off. :)
