Yeah my novel has been out for around six years, seven years now? And it's been sitting at 13 reviews for years. I've done multiple free days and asked "please review" but I don't know if any of them are from doing that. I think a lot of people download it on a free day and then it sits on their Kindle unread. I mean, I've done that before - sometimes I buy a book but then don't read it until years later - so I can't blame them. But it does feel like I am shouting into the void. I make more of a point to review books I read on Amazon now that I know how important it is.

Right? I can't blame anyone cause I do the same thing! But I do try to give some reviews to people who I know put good stuff out into the world.
We are just so connected these days that it’s becoming harder to give lots of focus to any one thing or person. And everyone’s got something they want to share and only do many hours in the day.
What's your book called? Even if I don't read it I'd like to give it some stars 😉 and maybe I might get around to reading it!
Right, and if you overshare, people who are following you don't want to see ten recommendations a day, so I generally try and save my "share to social media" type recommendations for the really good ones/ones that I think my friends would enjoy, too.
I have bookmarked your book! When I get an extra few dollars I'll have to buy it (and rate it, of course!).
