Thanks! :-) I just have seen three or four discussions of that nature lately and I just... I hate disagreeing with readers but in this case I really do, and I wish I had a better way to help them find more stuff they're looking for, you know?

Hmm, I don't have a book cover as my userpic, I dont know if I should comment. haha!

This is a great post - you raise a lot of good points. And while many of the books I read have similarities, I also think, well, I BOUGHT Book B because it reminded me of Book A, so DUH!

On the other hand, I loved your book because it was different than what I had been reading. Refreshing, even! And I can't wait for book 2. ;)

Thank you so much, that's so kind of you! I'm really glad you liked the book!

I love reading similar books and I'm all for recommendations based on prior purchases or tastes. I just feel like readers are being painted into corners by them a little bit, too, you know?

And I don't have a book cover as my userpic either. Or even anything as cool as Jem. Truly outrageous! ;-)
