Cleolinda Jones ([info]cleolinda) wrote in [info]otf_wank,
There's a weird Cult of Nice-type thing going on with some of the YA writers--last year people were basically saying (as Halpern does here) that if it's not a glowing review, don't talk about it at all. But what about bloggers who review books, you know? Like, when I don't like things written by people on the internets who might see me say so--I keep my mouth shut, but book blogging isn't primarily what I do. How are you supposed to run a review blog if your only choices are to 1) post only the 5-star books or 2) lie? I keep wondering if the next logical step is for the author to just write the review themselves and hand it over to the blogger to be posted.
