A Jab at Amazon Reviews of Romance Novels




If you are a regular to my blog, you know that for months now I've been reviewing-for-research Book Reviews of Romance novels.

More often than should be occurring, I find reviews that make me wonder what the reviewer read or if they actually read at all.

Sometimes the review makes me wonder why that person chose to post a review, and other times, they compel me to share their review with you.

Here are three that made the cut and deserve to be poked fun at here.


#1 The Agenda Reader




To be fair, Amazon Customer has a point.

However, the premise of the novel had to do with an abused housewife who then sets out on her own to fulfill a dream and eventually find real love.


#2 The Confused Reader



Why is this person reading Romance Novels?

One-star, mind you.

This is thoughtless and cruel.

However, nothing says cruel like ...


#3 The Clueless Reader




This occurs far more frequently than you might believe.

1 comment  beat me to the punch, asking why the 1-star if she enjoyed the story.

Anymore, I report it as abuse.

I am also in the habit of clicking the NO button when I find this type of review.




So, there you have it.

More classless entertainment from the masses for your Sunday reading pleasure.

Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop. I know it sounds ridiculous to say I Love to Travel because, let's be honest, who doesn't? A more accurate or realistic remark might sound more like this: Who Can AFFORD to Travel? Right? Not me! But, dreams are free and here is mine. #5 Crete Home to the Ideon Cave, which was the birthplace of Zeus. But also for the food, the atmosphere, and especially the photo ops standing near all of the white buildings with blue awnings/rooftops/shutters... and with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. I learned in one of my Linguistics classes that there is an island off the coast of Greece where the language is so obscure that even Greeks have trouble understanding it. Fascinating stuff, s

The Thought Bubble Never Pops #MFRWauthor

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my

Unforgettable, is What I Saw #MFRWAuthor #BlogHop

Hello, all! Welcome back for Week 45 of the MFRW Author Blog 52-Week Blog Challenge , and today the topic is  An Unforgettable Day in My Life . I've been thinking about how to answer this one all week, and to be honest, I still don't know what to write. The problem is, I don't want to go the generic route and respond with the obvious: birth of child, wedding day, 18th birthday, etc. Except for the two live births, NONE of the obvious and generic responses were Unforgettable (not from a positive perspective, anyway). I am truly sorry to have to say that a MAJORITY of my generic memories, life moments, and what-not are on the negative, bad side. So, I do hope what I finally chose to share is worth your while and interesting enough to qualify as Unforgettable. August, 1981 I went to a friend's house, and while I waited for him to get ready (for what, I don't recall), he had turned on the TV, and I sat down to stare at it while I waited. What I
