Pauline -- as TIm's editor, thank you for that call for those who enjoy books like Eric's and Tim's to take the time to post reviews on BN.com and Amazon and Good Reads and the like. It makes a big difference, we're told. And TIm and I had just been talking about why his reviews seemed stuck at 5, when the book has seemed to touch a chord with so many.We wondered what we could do without imposing on readers. This may seem a little thing, but I assure everyone it is not. Not when readers/consumers face sooo many choices. From what I have seen on this discussion, this is a group of contributors with solid writing chops and an ability to illuminate aspects of the books that other might not have seen or heard about.

Hello All,
A member of my critique group pointed me to this discussion about a week ago, and I have been trying to catch up ever since. I haven't succeeded, so forgive me if this has been covered already.
From what I've read so far, there has been discussion about visibility/invisibility, the lifespan of CSK books, etc. I also noted that there was a lot of positive comments about the two books featured this month (which I haven't had a chance to read yet). Lastly, I noticed that on Amazon, there have been exactly customer 5 reviews for Tim Tingle's book and 10 for Eric Gansworth's.
Might I suggest that those who enjoyed these books take the next step and post their comments on Amazon and Barnes & Noble? While I am not privy to all the machinations that go on behind these websites, I'm sure more positive reviews of these books couldn't hurt.
Just a thought, Pauline Ts'o
