Voting, Commenting, Assigning Stars

This probably does not need to be said, but just in case...

Please remember that words have power. Your comments may persuade or dissuade someone who is considering purchasing and/or reading a particular book.

Be honest, but respectful.

Comments that are solely promotional or that are disrespectful will be deleted.

Do not rate a book higher or lower than you feel it really deserves.

As a reader of this blog, do not allow the comments of a few to sway your decision on a book. If a book looks interesting, give it a chance.
