The Picky Bookworm

We have a planetarium here in town and I got to see a video on black holes. It was so cool!

They think each galaxy actually orbits a super massive one. Our world is incredible!

Yeah, I forgot about that lol.

I like Matter of Time, because I'm obsessed with black holes. Any of the episodes, sg-1 or Atlantis, that have black holes in them, I'm down.

When I sit a certain way on my bed, he does this. Every time. Full on feline paralysis, but he's so cute and soft! Who can say no to that face?

I'm not a fan of that one, but I can see why most people do.

Young Hammond was cool

That is one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME! LOVE!

my favorite episode is "A matter of time."

Just found out my favorite aunt died today. I didn't get to see her much, and she's been sick for a while, so I'm glad to know she's not sick anymore. My heart goes out to her family, but I'm doing ok.

That's really similar to here, except we get dumped on wooden pews (think catholic church, but not padded) during the lawyer interviews. My back still hurts lol.

Who has ever had jury duty before? This is my 3rd time.

If you have, what's the process where you live?

That's actually kind of interesting. I wonder what they say?

I have several puzzles I bought that I'd review on Amazon. Tell others the finished image was beautiful and the puzzle is easy to do because of the lettered sections on the back.

Yeah, I have a feeling I'll have to curate like I did my Twitter. I did pretty well with that over there, so hopefully my luck will hold lol.

I haven't been on Bluesky in a hot minute, but I thought id give it another shot! I'd love to say hi!

Please actually comment if you're interested in donating. Don't just "like," since a lot of people do that but aren't able to donate.

If I created a donation page, who would be willing to donate $2-3 to help a family I know have a fantastic Christmas? No, not my family. I try not to ask for money like this for myself. Probably why my recent gofundme did so badly.

If I get enough interest, I'll set something up.

I'm so grateful that we had such valuable feedback for this planner. You can grab your copy for $7 until tomorrow only, so grab it before the price goes up :-)

Well and it would specifically state "inspired by this book." The whole point would be to increase interest in amazing books and hopefully increase sales or reads. I don't choose to do things unless I can find some way for it to benefit the author as well. I'm all about the win-win.

That's why I'm asking, because it wouldn't be fan art, per se, and I would be selling them. It would be kind of a cool way to get the word out about various amazing books I read. I wouldn't use the cover, though, obviously. I'll find an example of something I've already done.

If I created a phone wallpaper from your book, #authors, to sell in my digital shop, what would you think?

1. No, I would not use the cover. Advertising only, not in things I actually sell
2. I'd use a quote from your book, most likely, and colors inspired by the cover.

Mine has over 700 books, but I discovered that once I own all the books in all the series, that will jump to almost 3000.

I'll need to will my Amazon account to someone so those books won't go to waste when I die.

I hadn't come on here in a while, so wanted to come hang out for a bit. Now that I have, I hope you all have a fantastic Sunday, and don't forget to listen to this week's podcast! It'll be up soon, and I'm so happy!

I own book one, I believe, but will be making sure I own all of them very soon!

I just finished organizing my kindle into my planner and listing out series I need to finish. It was a JOB, but I'm so happy with it!

Ok, so. Back in 2002, my honors English class had us do, as a MAJOR part of the grade, a thesis on whatever topic we wanted. As a pretentious nerd, I decided, initially, to do mine on ‘how a story is written’. One of the first parts of this project was to assemble primary sources. 1/?

This is seriously the best story. Thank you so much for sharing! I love this so much.

Your best bet might be to Google "symbol codes for Word" and see what pops up. I don't think everything shows up in the insert symbols section.

Wait...

Levar Burton has a podcast? How did I not know this?

I love that movie so much!

Thank you so much! I loved working with you!

PSA: You can expect more reviews of Ted Dekker books, because I just found out that he's actually independently published. Ted Dekker is such an amazing author, and I can't wait to share his books!

Here's one #bookreview I wrote a while back for Thr3e:

I'm excited to read these! If I remember correctly, book one in this series won a Picky Bookworm Award a couple years ago. I'll have to double check, but if you enjoy historical fiction, you should check these out!
