[QUOTE=afa;1748086]Ummm... you're defending a 'person' that produces book reviews at a rate that would have to be damn near supernatural to be true, and it's our speculation that is dubious..?

I am not defending Harriet. Merely putting things into perspective. I do not believe the 60 books a day claim at all. I however can believe the POSTING of 60 comments a day.

I was a librarian and it was typical of me, when time permitted (which was rare) to skip-read and take notes on a dozen or so books a day to prepare for book promotions. It does not mean I got the plot points right, just got enough exposure to introduce a book to my audiences. Usually I would choose only one or two to read fully.

What Harriet does is very typical of librarian book promotion techniques. In any case I do not state that Harriets comments on Amazon are worth much. Few actually are.

The link in my previous post merely provides some biographical information on Harriet. This site might also be the source of the info about her on Wikipedia.

Some people are obsessive about books and have too much time on their hands. Harriet may be one of those people.
