I once felt it was necessary because I was forced to read their piece of shit AND provide coverage on it, well sometimes you want to give back. There are other cases too where the read was so incredibly terrible that I felt it necessary to let the writer know that wiring wasn't their calling. I'm sure that isnt the case with you, considering the quality of your blog, but it does happen. Quite often, sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701465038062786253.post-42975030761951203292012-08-29T13:00:09.165-07:002012-08-29T13:00:09.165-07:00Thanks for the commiseration. :) Thanks for the commiseration. :) Katharine Coldironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710500266239699918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701465038062786253.post-59534483706787452192012-08-29T05:08:00.898-07:002012-08-29T05:08:00.898-07:00So sorry...that sounds awful!

She wouldn't have sounded so frustrated if something about the book hadn't crawled under her skin." <br /><br />What he said. Still, it sucks. One hearty refrain of "Tubthumping" for you.
