Top Reviewer on Amazon

So I'm now 9.438 on the list of Top Reviewers on Amazon. It means that I'm among the 10.000 with the higher rank, and the rank is given by the helpful vote of the readers.

Actually I don't know how much "real" is this list, and if I'm not among the first 1.000, it doesn't mean much (I don't have the "badge"!), but I like when I see that someone has voted "helpful" one of my reviews, and then my rank is gained only thanks to M/M romance reviews, so maybe one among the first 10.000 is not a bad thing after all.

The badge is something you would acquire when you assign your "real name" to your account. Link to additional information here. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/14279641/pop-up/ref=cm_rn_rn_help)

Congratulations. :-) That's quite impressive, even if you don't get the shiny badge.

I keep forgetting to mention this to you but---there are many review sites for e-books as you know and they have "side businesses" for book advertising and so forth which authors pay for. Sometimes you have to pay a membership fee and then get interviewed etc these services cost alot for new writers!

I find it to be very generous of you to just enjoy these books and give an opinion about them without hoping for anything in return.

I and many authors appreciate your generosity.

You are an awesome reviewer, and you deserve all the badges in the world!!! I can't tell you how many books I've found from your reviews that i otherwise would not have encountered.

Your reviews are wonderful. I love reading them.

I think some of the success with my last book had to be due to your review. My sales jumped a nice bit right after you posted it.

That's excellent! And yes, as an m/m reviewer, making the top 10K is a great achievement. [nodnod]
