You can always ask the person if it bothers you that much.
You're a great reviewer, Tracy. I wish everyone was like that!

I would just ask, like you did me when life majorly got in the way for me lol. In an ideal world, I'd have sooooo much time to write and read and omg that would be lovely. ;D
And ditto on what Julie said, you're one of my fave reviewers! :)

If you only read it to get them to read yours, then yes I do think it's wrong. Maybe because I haven't ever thought that way but another pet peeve of mine is when someone checks out a story and leaves a very generic review and in that review they mention their own story, it irks me to no end! LOL It hasn't happened in a very long time to me but then I noticed when I dinn't check out their story they suddenly stopped reviewing mine.
If you want to read a story then read it but don't read it just because you want a sympathy read from that person. I would hope that no one is reading my story just because I am reading theirs. I want you to read it because you are enjoying it, not because you feel obliged to.
I mean, if you feel like "wow this person always checks my stuff out so I think i'll check hers out." Then tha's different. I'm talking about when you intentionally do it in the hopes that they will read yours. Not saying that's what you're doing but for anyone doing that, it's douchey!
LOL In my humble opinion of course.

OMG, that's the worst! That is way up there on the shameless whore meter LOL. I agree; don't use a review for someone else's story as a way to promote your own. Tacky!!

Awww thanks lol *blushes* I try. I love to leave someone feedback cause I know how it can help the person writing the story. As for asking people I don't want to look needy...I am a shy person and don't like to make enemies of my readers. Does that make sense?
