There's nothing wrong with linking back to the review that inspired you. Definitely much easier to lose your reputation than to rebuild it.

While I learned a lot about what NOT to do by watching that situation go down, it also was a little disheartening to me all around. By the actions involved and the responses to it. It literally terrified me--which is both good and bad I think. I'll be extra careful about citing my source since witnessing what I did, but I'll also always be walking on eggshells, and in my opinion, any time I'm walking on eggshells...well that's not exactly "fun". <br /><br /><br />But there's definitely nothing wrong in quoting someone and linking back to them. You quote books all the time just as long as you cite your source. Glad I could remind you!<br /><br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Knowhttp://sandyfarmer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-22576100890709050322013-06-01T18:01:14.118-05:002013-06-01T18:01:14.118-05:00Better safe than sorry!

To conscioiusly copy and paste someone else's work just doesn't sit well with me.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my post earlier :)Lexxiehttp://unconventionalbookviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611036570698926101.post-43099545363724579562013-05-31T20:12:27.612-05:002013-05-31T20:12:27.612-05:00Erring on the side of caution is never a bad thing...Erring on the side of caution is never a bad thing!

I have not seen any plagiarism - that I know and recognize.<br /><br />I too, never read a review of a book until after I have posted my own review. I do not want to be influenced or swayed away from my own thoughts. I am to give an honest review which means of my own thoughts. <br /><br /> I know if someone says something in a way that moves me I will not know what to say anymore because I want to use that phrase and cannot. For some reason, I had not thought to use the phrase with attribution to the owner. Duh! Thank you for reminding me of this option. It is not crazy. I think you (and I), are doing the correct thing.<br /><br />Very nice post. The non-fiction post and the literary fiction post are also good.
