This author was judging us based on how we answered Kristilyn's answers, not on our actual blog content. Just because my top 3 favorite author's not a local writer, doesn't mean I don't read local. Argh, this still hits a sore spot with me! Lol.

That is such a coincidence that you ...haha, NO WAY! That is such a coincidence that you and M.R. Merrick went to rival high schools. Glad you didn't have ill feelings for their book because of that!<br /><br />Aaannnd I completely agree with what you have to say. It is very important to me that I actually ENJOY my blogging experience and read the books that I want to read. It isn't supposed to be assigned homework. It's supposed to be fun! If I did read really positive reviews of a local read (like the three above) though, then it would definitely be an added incentive to reading it, I think.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172387096122839301.post-29120655229635548412012-10-31T16:27:28.511-06:002012-10-31T16:27:28.511-06:00Yes!

I do feel like I should give some local authors a try, though, since I do work with books and volunteer with books and BLOG about books, but I'll do my own choosing, thank you very much. :) Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12401451485460760416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172387096122839301.post-44935500117322018872012-10-31T10:58:52.258-06:002012-10-31T10:58:52.258-06:00I agree with you that the author was out of line. ...I agree with you that the author was out of line. You should list books because you like them, and not because the author is local.

She's one of my favourite authors. I've been hearing good things about MR Merrick - so I think I'd like to check out those books sometime soon. :)tlmfarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699392120494847632noreply@blogger.com
