Alrighty, time for me to disconnect and go and read The Oblivion Bride. No idea how this story will end and I love that.

Never judge a book by its cover!

Unsolicited writing advice, no: 235
As soon as you get a publishing deal, writing ceases to be just fun. It becomes a responsibility - to your readers, your publisher, all the people whose livelihoods now depend partly on you. Make sure you understand what this means. Make sure it's what you want.

Cool people buy big bundles of #IndieBooks because they want to support indie authors & help us create even more indie books #BookSky

🤣 I'm trying to read my tbr because there's some really good books on there but that doesn't stop me buying more.

Tell me why I'm considering a reread of The Silmarilion when my tbr could crush a dinosaur.
