I am enjoying A DEATH IN DOOR COUNTY so much that I had to pick up its counterparts. Thanks, @anneliseryan.bsky.social, for a few hours of entertainment and fun reading. I hope nothing happens to Newt. Strongly recommended. #writingcommunity #writerslift #writers #booksky #bluesky #readers

If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller with intriguing plots and characters, I recommend John McMahon's Head Case novels. "Inside Man" is the sequel to "Head Cases." #writingcommunity #writerslift #writers #readers #booksky #blueksy #bookboost

The unexpectedly enjoyable ending of "Clown in a Cornfield" movie between Ruston and Cole has now piqued my interest in the book series. #writingcommunity #writerslift #lgbt #amreading #readers #writers

I have heard and read so much buzz about this monster series by @anneliseryan.bsky.social that I caved and purchased the first book, "A Death in Door County." Has anybody else read these books? I am excited! #writingcommunity #weriterslift #writers #readers #booksky #bluesky

Last night, #Texas saw blatant voter suppression: new precinct rules set by the GOP caused confusion and voters were turned away. Courts overruled each other. This is a dry run for the midterms. Stay aware.

"Strangers in the Villa" is my first outing with author Robyn Harding. Sounds like a page-turning thriller. #writingcommuunity #writerslift #writers #bluesky #Booksky #readers #bookboost #amreading #thrillers

I read that @joerlansdale.bsky.social's next Hap and Leonard adventure will be the last in the series. I picked up "Hatchet Girls" today so I better catch up now. I will miss these spitfire fellas and rocking good reads. #writingcommunity #writerslift #writers #bluesy #Booksky #Bookboost

It is unfortunate that some people are easily swayed by critics' reviews about a book or movie and cannot decipher for themselves whether or not to read or see it. #bluesky #booksky #movies

I grew up with the #xfiles. I cannot see a revival or reboot without Mulder and Scully front and center. It is not X-files without them, no matter who writes and directs.

And a remake of Murder She Wrote is ridiculous. Some shows are timeless and should be left alone. #writingcommunity #bluesky
