These authors were on my to-read list until they supported making fun of reviewers and reviewers' opinions on books (because reviewers are stupid and don't 'get' my genius hurr hurr hurr).

I don't want them making fun of me (as opposed to my review?), so I personally won't be reviewing their books anymore just in case I accidentally fall into one of the bingo squares, which Howdy YAL so ingeniously dissects and asks 'what exactly is wrong with it?'

Interestingly enough, some authors involved were already on my do-not-read list.

 

Look, authors, I get it. You absolutely despise reviewers who don't kiss your butt. Who have the audacity to bring all of their own life experiences into interpreting your book in a different way than what you intended. Who dare to use reviewing as a form of self-entertainment. Who dare to criticise in a way you don't find helpful.

 

But really, reviewers don't owe authors anything.

 

Thanks for reminding me of that.

 

Thanks to Tez for collecting all the info before it was deleted.
