But it's just like any other assignment or task you sign on to do. If you can't handle it or the amount of work that comes along with it, then you have to put your foot down. <br /><br />Thanks for checking out my blog!Sallie Mazzurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903532942800702084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163944238561651445.post-232654438049351382012-05-19T19:01:52.879-04:002012-05-19T19:01:52.879-04:00Just saw this: commenting now!

Author's definitely ignite the fights and just add fuel to it each time they comment on something. They wrote the book, and now they just need to relax and let others critique.<br /><br />If you can't handle the book heat, get out of the bookstore! hahaSallie Mazzurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903532942800702084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163944238561651445.post-76668172967810927402012-05-18T17:23:07.566-04:002012-05-18T17:23:07.566-04:00Good issues addressed.

I review books on my blog, but I'll say no to a lot more books than other reviewers. That being said, my blog is fairly new so I don't actually get asked to review that many books. <br /><br />But I have no problem turning a book down because I just don't have time to read something I'm not interested in. I have tons of books on my bookshelf that I still really, really want to read but either haven't had the time or just haven't felt like reading. <br /><br />It surprises me how many books some bloggers can read!! I swear it's like a super power! And yeah, at some point it does sound like a chore for them. I hope that doesn't happen to me, but you never know! <br /><br />The whole negative reviews thing - there are definitely some authors who do think bad publicity is better than no publicity. They ignite the fights on Goodreads and such. It's legit craziness!<br /><br />Great points, Sallie!!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359509035701844439noreply@blogger.com
