I did this for two reasons. One-I had seen it done this way by other bloggers. Two-I rarely rehash the plot in my reviews (some reviewers include a synopsis in their review) so it would not do a reader much good to read the review first to find out about the book. I've also seen some bloggers post a stock synopsis (like from Amazon, Fantastic Fiction, etc.) between the interview and the review or before the interview and then the review. Have I confused anyone yet? LOL! Personally, reading the interview first gives me insight in to the author and sometimes in to their book so I like reading the interview first.Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643664058215156130.post-79113717309912631642009-12-04T06:01:41.150+08:002009-12-04T06:01:41.150+08:00Review first please!

That way it's like an intro to the author, what they're about, and what their book is about. Then we can see what you think about it when you review it.Brooke Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652984931776226081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643664058215156130.post-61684680298990636132009-12-04T05:21:16.568+08:002009-12-04T05:21:16.568+08:00My take is that you should post the review first a...My take is that you should post the review first and then the interview. I think it's nice to read a little bit about the book before reading about the author. If it's an author I've never heard of, I'm much less likely to check out the interview if I've never even read a review of any of their books.brizmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163313230550265190noreply@blogger.com
