I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I've been noticing some authors are giving their books 5 stars on Goodreads - some even before their book is released.
I can understand wanting to spread the word about your book, but doing that sounds desperate. I also wouldn't buy a book from an author who openly admits to giving their book glowing reviews. I mean, of course you think your book is awesome - you wrote it!
Goodreads shouldn't leave room for authors to openly give their book 5 stars. It's just another problem of authors promoting their books the wrong way, at least to me.
