What's the proper etiquette for this?

Is she a book-blogger? If not, I wouldn't. I think it oversteps a line in the relationship. I think just stick a little bookmark somewhere, and come back and see her comments when you need some quiet affirmation.

Just my 2c.

Agree^^

I'd think fondly on that time that your work affected a reader in such a poignant way, then simply move on.

I don't know if it's a general thing, but for me - if I mentioned a book on my blog I'd feel very invaded by a response from the writer. It would make me feel I had to second-guess my blog-posts because there might be a writer reading.

Writers write, readers read, bloggers blog. But more importantly, as the OP says, the book That says tread extra-carefully to me. Certainly don't try to exploit it by That just seems tacky. If someone is struggling and you've helped them - be glad you've helped them. And leave them alone.

Haven't been here in a while so I just saw this. Those are pretty much my feelings after thinking this through a bit. I never contacted her.
