...and as Rebecca herself mentions in this book, today was THE right time for me to read it. ;-)I am also an avid Amazon reviewer and LOVE to spend time here at Amazon, browsing, buying, downloading and reviewing a lot of books and products. I'm not up there in the Top 100 group of esteemed Amazon reviewers YET (hovering around 1700 as of today) but I can understand how someone can write enough reviews, gain a fan base and enjoy the process immensely, to get to the top of that special list.Rebecca writes in a personable, engaging and open way, throughout this book.I not only felt like I got to know a LOT more about top reviewers like her, I also felt that I got to know her as a regular person too.We've got a lot in common it seems including: a love of: cats, chocolate, books and eBooks (and the more the better), kitchen gadgets, natural and organic foods, cooking, creating recipes (we are both cookbook authors too), indie poetry...the list went on and on. And for me, that doesn't happen very often, feeling like I'm in the presence of a kindred spirit, while I'm reading a book.Rebecca also shares some of her humorous experiences along the way, as a top reviewer, many of her fav books gleaned from years of reading and reviewing, her experience meeting Amazon's founder: Jeff Bezo (but didn't hear his famous laugh that day, maybe next time?) and the do's and don'ts of how to ask a reviewer for a review.This book was chock full of not only fun but very practical advice, for those seeking book reviews in particular. But it's also a book that I believe would be of interest to a much larger audience than just authors (like myself), other reviewers (like myself)...as it's such an upbeat and entertaining read, from start to finish.I may not ever get to the Top 100 reviewers list here at Amazon but I'm sure glad to have been able to spend time with a reviewing star like Rebecca, reading this book today. I actually had  this eBook on my Kindle for quite a while (along with a gazillion other ones...LOL) and had not gotten around to reading it until today.And today, as I've said above, was the perfect time to read it. Sitting on the sofa, soaking up a few rays through the window as I did with Mr. Cheddar (our lovely orange tabby)snuggled up close, around my neck...so nice :-) Heaven really must be one big book site/store/ library, don't you think?Well done Rebecca and thanks for sharing your lovely and uplifting story!Geraldine Helen Hartman author of: Laughing AT the Grim Reaper!
