I read through the Notes every day. Somebody added a lot of Notes on Tuesday, and they aren't actually Notes.

They are mostly just links to her blog.  So, on one hand, they are links to the recipe online which can be helpful if you want to try it but don't own the book.  On the other hand though, it doesn't feel right using the notes section to drive traffic to your own blog.

I don't mind the links, but would like to see a comment from her on the recipe so I can see if I want to pursue.

To me it's just another form of spamming.

Agreed.  I'm not too sure EYB should contain links to blogs where recipes have been copied out in full probably (and I admit I'm making an assumption here) without consent from the copyright-owner.

I am changing the notes to be Reviews and informing the blogger of the difference. Unfortunateky I was travelling most of yesterday and today without internet access so didn't manage to get many done. I will remove all the rest tomorrow. We don't add Recipe Online links unless the recipes have been reproduced with the publisher's consent.

Thank you Jane. I appreciate your response!

All those links have now been transferred to the Reviews tab.
