Alexandra's Adventures in Books

As seen in a discussion regarding if authors should read reviews for their books, and if those reviews are "feedback" for the author:

 

"...why an author should even have a place on which readers can post reviews, if the author isn't supposed to look at them..."

 

I don't know if this author knows something I don't - that there are authors who have set up places for readers to post reviews, or if she is under the impression that GoodReads and Amazon (which is what we're discussing) are sites authors have set up for readers to post reviews.

 

Either way, I'm shaking my head.

 

Isn't it so nice of those authors to provide areas for us little readers to share our opinions of their books?  For author "feedback" no doubt. ;)
