Will they allow them to appear on both their site and GR now?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-50209884255273515542013-03-29T18:09:18.680-04:002013-03-29T18:09:18.680-04:00Yup.

Really, I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm sure the first thing they'll do is make it really easy to link to their site to buy that book you just put on your TBR list. Good for authors I suppose. :)Luanne G. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762881276976395955noreply@blogger.com
