You just have to be professional with your reviews. :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02789467424686649946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791447370323760896.post-82943953927371477552012-02-29T10:00:02.398-06:002012-02-29T10:00:02.398-06:00I've heard an author mention that other author...I've heard an author mention that other authors get upset with her if she doesn't LOVE their book when she reviews it.

She reviews under a different name now. <br /><br />Like Felicia said, do what makes you happy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719035106396989796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791447370323760896.post-30945924099171398992012-02-28T06:27:45.592-06:002012-02-28T06:27:45.592-06:00I have heard that too but then others started that...I have heard that too but then others started that way. Both Dakota and Louisa reviewed books before becoming authors. I think you should do what makes you happy. If you are meant to be both, then you will be :)Felicia the Geeky Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960623537536038059noreply@blogger.com
