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.<br/><br/>2/6 2025-07-02T15:40:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9f9ts45fu5ctwhrkrafpnyrk6nle0uqvkuu0qxw3mqsxru3vlmyczypf9djnrge62zc3tq20ew5xy73refy8cmzhcwtfj4fkrvpqzk48juqykwlu #SilentSunday <br/><br/>#HouseWren #Wren #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Ornithology #Spring #Birdhouse #Nature #Wildlife<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/114/450/230/647/889/451/original/d85832ec101aaf70.png"> <br/> 2025-05-04T15:22:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8ccng30hxzrm3ufh0q9cdzjp6u7l62q9zt9k8xnlg4x249txpmzczypf9djnrge62zc3tq20ew5xy73refy8cmzhcwtfj4fkrvpqzk48juzg06g3 Hello book lovers!<br/><br/>The Way of the Wielder is my romantic fantasy series.

However, there are a lot of self published authors who publish their work through Amazon (some exclusively, some not).<br/><br/>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&#39;re also supporting a small business (by supporting the author). 2024-11-24T00:27:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrvl8mx6t62nehqjfemkl3anl54t7xdatjuudp5gg3l98dj5e38wczypf9djnrge62zc3tq20ew5xy73refy8cmzhcwtfj4fkrvpqzk48ju6w63ul Went out to fill the bird feeders and thought I felt someone watching me... 👀<br/><br/>#RedShoulderedHawk #Hawk #Bird #Ornithology #BackyardBirds #Wildlife #Nature<br/> <img src="https://cdn.masto.host/writing/media_attachments/files/113/317/255/761/033/794/original/ec34a83b7e5763da.png"> <br/> 2024-10-16T13:11:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd5dcc8upqjefdqcc29t382vpz77uzhhfgdyykjfftnvcqvwllergzypf9djnrge62zc3tq20ew5xy73refy8cmzhcwtfj4fkrvpqzk48juq2g860 #WritersCoffeeClub 22Sep—Would you ever pay for a review? Have you? Do you feel it’s worth it?<br/><br/>A thread.<br/><br/>I&#39;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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>... 2024-09-23T13:15:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrxm6mk22tzhy8st3x48m6zrsn0wmqlxhgaue05tud8px29t68npszypf9djnrge62zc3tq20ew5xy73refy8cmzhcwtfj4fkrvpqzk48juyx6j75 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfm26vwegnc0yzajkd8lgdrlkr8trrje6g7s978tkn8zfw3hh0seq0ezhpc'>nevent1q…zhpc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks!

Not economically, but grow into a better, healthier, more accepting nation.<br/><br/>I think it fits her—and what we see in her—well. But if you&#39;re looking for another word, perhaps &#34;thrive&#34; or &#34;rise&#34; would suffice.<br/><br/>Whatever word is used, it&#39;s a tall order—but one I think she can achieve. 2024-07-24T14:48:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswd2jyfavpasf8xz2v9xvw4xeja9tqsa0vqdm04040padkz6qz0eqzypf9djnrge62zc3tq20ew5xy73refy8cmzhcwtfj4fkrvpqzk48juz7jwuv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvq3huwm5ya6zv7cgdpqdv6ytrau94hvhawxj3k4mv8l6lrmr3cqg7np696'>nevent1q…p696</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Aw darn, I missed the poll.
