Like most social media things, it overwhelms me frequently, and I spend long periods away from it. Writing reviews is fun, but I've never really managed to write reviews of what I read. I love being connected to you and other authors there, though! It's really fascinating to get that view into people's reading lives.Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-20726759592552580532017-03-31T12:13:11.382-04:002017-03-31T12:13:11.382-04:00It is possible to set it so that entering the cont...It is possible to set it so that entering the contest puts the book on the reader's "want to read" list, which I think counts for something. It at least reminds the person later that the book exists, the next time they view the "want to read" list. But as has been amply pointed out here, one does not know for sure.Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-72366579322281569882017-03-30T23:34:30.588-04:002017-03-30T23:34:30.588-04:00Well, there are plenty of people who want to win t...Well, there are plenty of people who want to win the free books, but I don't think they do much for sales. I don't think there's any way to tell. Winners are urged to review the books, but I haven't seen any definite results from that. The most I can say is that it makes my publisher think I'm trying. (Occasionally my publisher will handle the free book deal.)

I was alarmed several years ago when I heard about flame wars and vicious reviews intended to knock out the competition. (?!) I didn't know it was taken over by Amazon. :(Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-65571101500707022112017-03-27T11:46:20.757-04:002017-03-27T11:46:20.757-04:00Good use of the topic, Lisabet.
