Top Reviewer on Amazon

[reviews_and_ramblings]

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.

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.

I love to intereact with authors and readers, and I can't imagine to be "pay" for it. My rewards are something like this, knowing that someone is reading my thoughts. I love when I stumble upon someone who I don't know, who says that he is reading my livejournal frequently. I would like for people to write more and also let me know if they don't like something of what I do (for example my recurring post, my appointments...). But well, I can't have all.
