Reviews and Ruminations

I've received several great reviews recently -


I got a Recommended Read from Fallen Angel Reviews and from Dark Diva Reviews for Captured and Rebecca over at Dirty Sexy Books had some very nice things to say about the book. It's also pretty cool that the book is on Amazon and can be uploaded onto a Kindle.

I have to ask the question though, do readers read reviews? I'm genuinely curious. I read reviews, but perhaps that's because my friends are authors and I like to know what's up with their books. I also read reviews to figure out what I might want to purchase for my own TBR pile.

What are your thoughts? Do you purchase books based upon reviews and which review sites do you rely upon? Sometimes it seems to me...okay, I'll be honest...it seems to me that ebooks get the shaft when it comes to many high profile review sites - as if we don't exist, but I do see more and more reviewers discovering the hidden gems in epublishing - our hidden gems! I get ignored a lot, but I send my books off to the big sites anyway.

It means a great deal to me when somebody like Rebecca at Dirty Sexy Books or Susi at The Geeky Bookworm or Larissa at lala's Book Corner or Katiebabs at Babbling About Books or Chris at Stumbling Over Chaos pay attention to ebook authors. Thanks, ladies!
