You mean the ones that say things like, “This idea would have been great in the hands of a more talented writer,” or, ” Well, it’s a Kiersten White book, so I had low expectations”?
Oddly no, I do not :) And here is why: I can quote you exact lines savaging my writing, but lines praising it? Those don’t stick. So, for my health, I follow my own rules.
Reviews are for readers. Any and all reviews about books are appropriate, because they are the reader’s opinion and they are welcome to share that opinion. I always appreciate people reading and talking about what they are reading. I think it is awesome.
But if what they are talking about is what *I* have written, I am happier not knowing. If you love my books and review them, I am so giddily grateful and deeply appreciative. You are amazing. That’s all there is to it.
