What's Hot and Not so Hot about House of Diamonds

Something I love about blogging is meeting people from all over the world. Wendy of Fabulosity Reads originally hails from South Africa (so of course she would attract my attention, it's where my two giraffes are from). She currently lives in Nigeria.

Not sure how Wendy will like House of Diamonds as it's not the usual genre she reviews. For those of you looking for book blog reviewers, Wendy is a good one. She is fair and honest, telling what she does and does not like about a particular book.

Yikes, I'm just a bit nervous! Go here to see the verdict.

  3. Karen, what a great review! Wendy obviously put a lot of work and thought into it. I love the way she broke her review down, focusing on characters motivations, struggles, and resolution of problems. Thanks so much for sharing this review, as always, I've learned more about the writing world from reading your blog.

  4. Donna, I think Wendy is an excellent reviewer and I'd recommend her Fabulosity Reviews to anyone seeking a fair and honest book review. Even when she says what is not hot about a book, she's so right who can argue? This from the author who constantly fights the tendency to repeat information in my writing. (this comes from being a mom of boys who don't listen to a word I say, and from having an ADHD husband who doesn't remember a word I say)

  6. Very brave to allow someone who 'tells it as it is' to review your book but it looks as if it's paid off. Well done!

  12. See? Granny always said that "worry is advanced payment for disappointment and trouble that seldom shows up."

  13. Nicely done! :0) But, sometimes it is scary to put our writing out there for others to critique!
