I actually agree with Amazon not allowing authors to review each other - I have seen way, way too many GoodReads forum threads where authors are forming collectives to leave mutual 5-star reviews. It's not quite as sleazy as paying a third-party for reviews, but it's definitely dodgy. Amazon may be implementing this policy with a heavy hand, but to be honest anything other than a blanket ban on authors reviewing other books is far too open to abuse.

In the Awwwwww pictures, the puppy in number 19 looks absolutely bloody terrified to me. Luck I had some happy cute animal pictures to hand to calm down with.

I wonder if Brievik's victims are finding their new accommodation a little cold too.
