And here I sit, patiently waiting and hoping that at least one of the giveaway winners will deign to post a review of Mickey and the Gargoyle. Anyone that's pulled up my book's listing on Goodreads has seen by now that there's only one review in there, a gag review by me, the writer. I'd love to swap that out for a real review some time soon.
Personally, I think it's unethical to allow writers to review their own books--hence my 'prank' review. If I'd leave that up once a real review was posted, mine would the skew the rating. So I've vowed to remove mine even if the first review that pops up there is a scathing one-star commentary.
Right about now, I'd love it if Goodreads would provide giveaway winners with the ability to click a button verifying they've received the book, the same way they give writers a button to click when they've sent out the winning copies. For right now, I'm just checking daily for reviews. :)
