Good advice

One of the reasons I'm less enthusiastic about Bluesky are the weird private messages from strangers I get here. "Hi. How are you today?" What about my profile says I'm easy to scam? Or is everyone getting them?

Congratulations to @carolgoodman.bsky.social !!

Ok I started this account about a year ago and haven't done much on it. Hoping with the influx of new people it will be more lively.

Opinion | Let’s Rescue Book Lovers From This Online Hellscape The primary online destination for book lovers has become synonymous with backbiting, scandal and deceit. But it’s not too late to fix it.

I wrote about how Goodreads is broken and how we could possibly fix it, and the NYT nailed the headline. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/24/o...

Yes! I wrote it in 2019 too. Very happy to see the flood of attention

I wrote a Christmas Ghost Story! Yep, my novella "The Ghost of Madison Avenue" takes place in NYC in December 1912 with the main character, Helen O'Neill, seeing things at the Morgan Museum. :) It's like The Gilded Age meets A Night At the Museum www.amazon.com/Ghost-Madiso...

I visited the Mills Mansion at Staatsburgh in the Hudson Valley yesterday. An amazing 1890s display of Gilded Age wealth and American aristocracy pride (the wife was a Livingston).

Definitely

He oversaw the deaths of so many. But yes I feel for anyone who begs for mercy. I wonder how Wolf Hall will handle that? It's not a "positive arc" to say the least

I didn't agree with 'Wolf Hall's depiction of Thomas Cromwell as a humane kitten cuddler and really didn't care for depictions of Thomas More, Jane Rockford or Princess Mary, but, having said that, I'm glad that a third 'Wolf Hall' is coming. Very good actors, intelligent script.

Pepys thought he knew what his wife got up to whilst he was out. He was wrong.

The plans have arrived for my new house... #writing

I first saw this invitation a few years ago and have been meaning to plagiarise it for a party of my own ever since. Very game of Christopher’s parents to throw such a bacchanal in their own home
