A little frustrated...
Just wanted to address a little problem that I believe Goodreads.com may be having with tallying my ratings.
Copies of my book were distributed to a total of seven readers to review. So far three three have posted great reviews and two have given it high ratings. I really don't understand how Goodreads has a total of (11) ratings so far when only five people have rated it. My frustration came about when I saw that my average dropped from 4.60 stars to 2.09 last night???
With a little reseach on the Goodreads site, I came to the conclusion that their must be an error (although unknown to the engineers at Goodreads) that will be corrected soon. With so many books with the same name as mine, I guess this could be possible but none the less very frustrating for a new author trying to create some awareness about her up coming novel. I only hope that the members / visitors of the goodreads site, when perusing my novel will see that I've only been rated (5) times.
Don't get me wrong, I love the goodreads site! It's a great place to chat about what you love doing most: reading, and a phenominal place for authors to interact with their readers. I've made a few friends since joining a couple months ago and reccomend the site to everyone who loves to read.
On another note, I want to sincerly thank all the Goodreads readers and bloggers who have shown such great enthusiasm and interest in my book. I wrote the book because I had a great story to tell. I appreciate those who have given it a try as well as the well wishers who send me an abundance of emails. I am so excited that people have read and thoroughly enjoyed my story and want to read it. I'm on cloud nine from all the praise and excitement.
