Please do not tag authors in critical reviews, it's unkind. Authors pour countless hours, our hearts, and a LOT of money into our books. It's rude to force us to see your unsolicited critiques of our work. Authors have cried, had breakdowns, or quit writing over this sort of behavior. (1/2) #booksky

Does a special edition of a book make you more likely to buy it? It's a yes/no for me. I really love a pretty book, but I don't want to buy doubles of a book or buy a book just because it's pretty. #booksky

I don't know why people adapt books and make the story WORSE. If the story is good and well loved, KEEP THE MAIN PARTS. Why adapt a book but change everything? It's maddening. #booksky

Do you eat while reading? I never ate while reading because I was always worried about getting the book dirty, but that could be a me problem. I'm kind of a messy eater. 🤣 #booksky

Book bans like HR 7661 are ALWAYS about control and NEVER about protection. The only people who benefit from limiting access to information are those trying to oppress others. Speak out against the ban. Call your reps. Share information. Bookish people should NEVER support limiting access to books.

Do I Regret Self-Publishing? Both trad and indie are valid forms of publishing, you just have to choose which one is better for you, personally, to pursue. And for me, that was being an indie author. #authorsky #indieauthor #booksky

Have you ever bought the same book twice because of a new cover? This particular marketing tactic has only worked on me once: My Hero Academia Volume 42. 🤣 I waffles on buying the exclusive cover but my husband told me to go for it. It was a momentous occasion, after all. 🤣 #booksky

If you're a fan of: 💙 Avatar the Last Airbender 💛 Legend of Korra 💙 Buffy the Vampire Slayer 💛 Twilight You'll probably like The Shield. #booksky

Are you a fan of love at first sight in books? It's not my favorite trope because it's hard for me to suspend disbelief for it. #booksky

How do you decide which books to keep/donate? I have a LOT of books, so pruning and carefully growing my library is essential. I try not to go too book buying crazy, but I'm weak for my fellow indies authors' books. #booksky #bookishthings #bookish

Sadly and predictably, Iran appears to have achieved escalation dominance by closing the Strait of Hormuz. I asked what plans the government have for a post-conflict region where Iran retains the upper hand because it can dictate global energy prices and continue to threaten gulf nations.
