I’ve talked to a number of people recently who apologized to me that they hadn’t gotten around to reviewing my book, Bones Buried in the Dirt, on Goodreads and Amazon yet. It was really cool that they wanted to review, but I had to tell them that there was no need to apologize. I’ll tell all of you as well in case any of you are in the same situation. Do it if you want, regardless of whether the review is good/bad/indifferent and regardless of how many or few stars you give it, but there’s absolutely no need to feel guilty if you don’t.
I mean, it’s really cool when people review, especially when people review on both Goodreads and Amazon. I’m extremely grateful for each and every review and am humbled by the wonderful words about my book people have said. I publicly thank each and every person who has left a review, especially those who have made the effort to post the review in multiple places.
However, I would never want anyone to be obligated to have to review Bones Buried in the Dirt. It’s a wonderful think to do, but it’s definitely a favor for me to do it. Expecting people to do it or trying to obligate people to do it would be a rotten thing to do. Heck, I’m just thrilled if people read the book. If they like it, even better. If they leave reviews, better still. If they leave reviews in multiple places…well, you get where I’m going with this.
Anyway, feel free to just read, and hopefully enjoy, Bones Buried in the Dirt. If you read it (or have already read it) want to post reviews on the Goodreads page for Bones Buried in the Dirt and/or the Amazon page for Bones Buried in the Dirt, that would be really cool. However, don’t feel bad if you don’t want to or haven’t done it yet. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for anyone feeling bad.
