Monday, Monday
I’m starting off the week somewhere else. I’m blogging at Access Romance today. The topic is the use of newspaper review quotes. My confusion stems from this situation: a newspaper prints a uniformly negative review of a book with one or two positive sentences. The author then uses those one or two lines to promote the book. Happens with movies all the time. Is this a good, bad or neutral practice with books?
Stop by and give your opinion.

I guess I don’t really pay attention to quotes, but it is rather misleading. I guess that’s called selective reading - only see what you want to see.

I also don’t pay attention to quotes. Have the books and movies I have read and seen and LOVED had bad reviews. I always know to check it out myself.
