Do you have a threshold on books where you will offer the author feedback but won’t review?

No. It seems arrogant* to hit up an author with “you need to hear what I have to say about your book” and then list issues/problems/complaints. I write for other readers. Period. If an author reads what I have to say, especially the negative/less positive, that’s on them. I love to hear when an author reads my stuff–it’s even better when they appreciate what I had to say. But an author has editors/publishers/beta readers, etc. to give them feedback. That’s not my role.

* I’m sure some people can do this without coming across as a jerk–more power to you if you can, I’d also love to see how you do it. It’s just not in my wheelhouse.

What about you?
