I've probably already bought more books on my Kindle than I'll ever get to; and if it's a writer I've gotten to know, I almost always support their cause by buying a copy. I hope no one thinks I plan on buying every book I'm contacted about. If so, hopefully this comments clears that up!Joseph Finleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348233611003693635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682438184679769936.post-74256317420849143682012-04-22T20:15:01.339-04:002012-04-22T20:15:01.339-04:00A good idea that could easily turn sour...just my ...A good idea that could easily turn sour...just my view.

I don't have nearly the time to read that I used to, so it takes a lot to get into my TBR pile. <br /><br />I feel bad for turning down a read, but I figure better to be honest with a no-thanks than to reluctantly take on an obligation and have the review suffer because of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998502637742703857noreply@blogger.com
