Not everyone who reads your writing will fall in love with it--and that's okay! The readers who don't like your books are not the important readers; the ones who love your books are the readers who matter, and if you've not found those readers yet, don't worry--they are out there and it's just a matter of finding the right readers at the right time. Happy writing!
