I know. :( I tried not to assume too much, but what kind of interactions has she had with book bloggers if her main reaction to the mention of them is "well, here's how to get ARCs!" (she actually explained it really thoroughly, how to get her books without paying for them! MY EMOTIONS.) and hit counts? She's an author we should definitely be supporting! Not badgering for books! BUY THE BOOKS, PEOPLE. THEN REVIEW THEM.
Obviously if a blogger has lots of visitors they're reaching more eyes and they're going to be a really valuable marketing tool for authors. But if you're me, who was never very popular as a book blogger (everyone hates a critic, especially a feminist one) and your main talent is lots of words and flailing around in capslock, not reviewing 100+ ARCs a year....I am not sure where that leaves me.
I feel like I should end this comment with "CRY MOAR". So I will.
