I've been to this theater! I saw Hamilton there back in 2018. Such an iconic place.

Not an hour later, I get a 5-star rating and “spoiler” review on GR for COC from this same woman.
She's not one of my ARC readers, and the book isn't published yet, so I'm already uneasy about this. But I read the review, and it’s… not accurate. The details (the “spoilers”) are skewed, perhaps not enough for the unassuming reader to notice, but definitely enough for THE AUTHOR to notice.
2/6

I do generally agree with this. However, there are a lot of self published authors who publish their work through Amazon (some exclusively, some not).
If someone is interested in buying books through Amazon, I always recommend buying books written by self published authors. Yes, Amazon takes a cut, but you're also supporting a small business (by supporting the author).

Went out to fill the bird feeders and thought I felt someone watching me... 👀

#WritersCoffeeClub 22Sep—Would you ever pay for a review? Have you? Do you feel it’s worth it?
A thread.
I've never paid for a review. However, I’ve offered my book for free (to ARCs) in exchange for one. Of the 8 that took me up on that, only 1 left a review.
I’ve also used BookSirens (again for ARCs, although my book’s published). Technically, I guess I’m paying for that, because each time someone downloads it I get charged $2. So far, 10 have downloaded it, and 2 have left reviews.

Thanks! They’re lighter than I expected for Brooks.

Nothing like getting back into running with a new pair of kicks!
(Yes, I’m breaking them in slowly.)

I think, in this case, "grow" is meant to symbolize the growth of our society. Not economically, but grow into a better, healthier, more accepting nation.
I think it fits her—and what we see in her—well. But if you're looking for another word, perhaps "thrive" or "rise" would suffice.
Whatever word is used, it's a tall order—but one I think she can achieve.

Aw darn, I missed the poll. But I tend to read fantasy most.
I also write fantasy—romantic fantasy, to be specific. My debut novel (The Way of the Wielder) came out back in March, with several sequels and other stories to follow.
