Comments from old site
This is the picture that was front page and center for years before moving the blog. These are the comments that were posted on the Welcome page of the old RJ's Views.
So glad you found us! I rarely check this old site,
I’ve moved to – http://www.rjsviews.com
I hope you come browse the new site & bookmark us.
Thanks for visiting…look forward to seeing you at the site!
When I try to contact you, the computer sends me a message that the address is invalid, even though I’m using the one I found you on. Anyway, How do I get ahold of you?
This is my first visit, very impressed. Absolutely love the look, would like to curl up in the reading den with current book Mockingjay. Will definitely be back, Jules
I love your blog, it is nice to have a real person reviewing. I don’t think some of the others even read the books they review.
And you have some really cool pictures.
Love your site. I have a wordpress blog as well but am having a hard time moving around in it and adding things to it, I think it’s because it’s the free version and it’s limited. Unless I’m such a dummy and just don’t get it. My blog at blogspot is much easier for me (they do everything you just add the content).
I’m a book reader and reviewer and also participate in giveaways and contests. I’ve found a lot of sites that I just love since I’ve started my blog.
Happy Birthday RJ! Amazing site, very comfortable and inviting and the content is superb. Keep up the good work.
Best wishes to you for the New Year.

I am now addicted to audio, I had never bought or even listened to one until after I read a few of your reviews, I found Simple Genius at the library and loved it, (even though I had read the book when it first released, I really enjoyed it and noticed a few things I either missed or had forgotten. it was great.) I have a collection going and a wish list a mile long, I should buy some stock in Hachete Books since I am buying so many of their books. A million kudos and thank yous for your wonderful reviews and opening the audio door for this book lover, at 50 I am once again excited about Christmas (because I know I am getting lots of new audio books)
Happy Holidays to you and your family, hope Santa brings you lots of books to share with us!
Merry Christmas, Amy from Michigan
Great book blog that looks great too. The reviews help a lot, thanx, i look forward to your holiday reviews, will you include movies, at least the ones based on books? hope so.
Happy reading to you too.

Great blog. You have an eye for design- it looks great, inviting and pleasing to the senses which sets the ideal mood for enjoying a book. I am especially enjoying the audio references and have given several as gifts this year (based on your opinions) and you have yet to fail me or make me look bad. Thanx, Kev
PS
I hope you will be reviewing the audios that release for and during the holidays
I like the Den it is comfortable and cozy I can see myself cuddled up with a throw, right here with a wine or latte. Congrat’s to you for a job well done. Very nice!
Great site! I was shocked when i read the banned list, some of those books i consider classics and shared with my children and grandkids too. Your blog is well put together and feels friendly and comfortable. Cheers!
Your site is very good, looks nice, gives useful information and it is easy to move around and find what things. There are lots of good information throughout your site and I enjoy visiting. Keep up the good blogging. MommyBloggers Rule!
I agree with the previous posters. Very Good reviews, nice layout. I like it very much and have found books i would not have known about so i make point to visit this site and 2 other independent sites before i decide.
I didn’t think i would like narrated books, but youre so right, audio lets busy booklovers have the cake and eat it too, thank you for the audio info and links, its great. i love this blog!
You have an incredible site. Your reviews are thoughtful, insightful and most important, helpful. I bought Water 4 Elephants, A Nail Through Heart and Society of S based on your posts and enjoyed all 3. My friend and sister check your site too before heading to the store or library. Thank you and happy reading to you too!

Awesome site, lots of information and lots of books I have not seen elsewhere (*a few I am going to check out). You put a lot of work into this and it shows. Cheers!
THANK YOU very, very much to everyone – for all your kind words of support, encouragement and kudo’s…I love hearing from our visitors! Keep those notes comin’ –
Wishing everyone a safe & happy hoilday weekend.
I would like to know where to send my book of poetry, Three Cups of Coffee and a Book, for review. I would appreciate any information you could give me, thank you for your time.
Thank you so very much for your kind words about my humble little book. I am always thrilled when the little creature finds a welcoming reader, and he apparently did so when he found you. Best wishes in your voluminous and apparently ceaseless reading. And congratulations on an inviting, informative, and visually arresting website.
Hi 3Rs
Great site! Love the holiday decorating here in The Den. comfy, cool and did i say comfy? Just read Switching TIme, dang is that out there or what? Thanks for putting up reviews for all kinds of books and for stating not so popular opinions – Keep Reading & Happy Reading to you too!
Another great site representing a wide range of fabulous reading material, if only there were more hours in the day! Visit me at my site and maybe take a look at my book ‘Searching for Mooneyes’ on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com
thanks and see you all again soon!

Hi RK!
Namaste! I’ve visited you site often in the past and I find it wonderful. The whole concept is genial and I wish you a lot of fun doing the reviews. Perhaps I’ll also send you books for review. Ciao!

Hey Sweetie! Great website! I am impressed…..and very proud of you. I personally don’t read much…..It is hard with work and everything, but after reading some of the reviews, I just might start trying to squeeze in some time! I am happy you found something you love. Take Care…..Lots of Love
Trish
Very Interesting. Excellent layout & style, very unique – which is nice to find. Your reviews take the reader right to edge. The trademark of a skilled reviewer and those are a dying breed. Congratulations & keep up the good work.
Thank you for inviting me here to your wonderful reading den RJ, I could just see myself curled up in that cosy armchair right now, reading one of the books you’ve reviewed. Your site is marvellous, so clear and easy to follow, and so very soothing and relaxing with the well-chosen music. Kudos my friend, and Good Luck with it all.
Hi, RJ! I really like the new site! Keep up the wonderful work you’re doing. You are a true friend to the writing community and we should all be thankful to have someone like you in our lives, supporting our work.
Hello RJ! This site is incredible! I love it. It’s very pleasing to the eye, easy to navigate, and I enjoy reading your reviews. You’re right, your reviews aren’t good– they are fantastic! I appreciate your insight on what you read. Have a wonderful day and take care!
What tremendous reviews for Moon Over Chicago and Shepherd’s Pie. I’ve soared to cloud twelve – way past nine.
Your reviews really grabbed the essence of each book. I’ll forward my latest, Her Name Is Mommy, as soon as I can.
And I love the new site. Warm, inviting and informative. Now I shall kick back here and visit with some old and new author friends.
Much continued success.
Dave
Thank you for the wonderful reviews of both the Coomacka Island books. I appreciate all your hard work! I will be sending you the next book in the series when it’s ready.

“Thank you so much for your thoughtful and inspiring words! You review was insightful, from your comments about the cover (I wanted to create a book that would stand the test of time, especially in the libraries) and about the content, and Mr. Positively! You are not the run of the mill book reviewer. Thank so much for understanding my intent for the children and for this world. I will be putting your review on my website today!”

“You have made my day! Thank you for the wonderful review! I will be referring all authors that contact me to you. I wish you the very best & will be sending my next book to you as soon as it is ready!”
