Amy's Bookshelf Reviews wants to be about supporting authors and their work. Yes, every author's title on the bookshelves in Amy's Library will be read and reviewed. I can't say at lightning speed, but my speed (which isn't always that quick, so I do the best I can). In the past few days or so, I've added honoring illustrators, cover designers, editors, and when I post reviews, I use publishers and author reps names in hashtags on the review in the blog (and am now sharing those hashtags in the letter I send when the reviews are posted).
I am very honored when an author who I have reviewed for requests a review for another one of their titles (or even all of their titles). After an author makes a second request, and that review is posted, they are considered a (countable) Legacy author. All author's names are on the Legacy Author page once the first review is done. The second one makes them a countable legacy author.
Now, there are many legacy authors that I have reviewed a lot of their books, so I want to honor that. I created a new page, called "Extra" Legacy Authors. These authors will fall within three categories. Bronze, once I have posted the 10th review for that author. Silver, once I have posted that 20th review for that author, and of course, Gold, once I have posted that 30th review for that author (Gold is 30+ reviews).
There are (of course) badges, and any of the authors on the list can request a badge, with their name placed on it.
The new page is located at: https://writeramyshannon.wixsite.com/bookshelfreviews/extra-legacy-authors
