I hoped to be able to write like Neil Gaiman, JK Rowling, Tan Twan Eng and the likes. Yes, I wished to be an author someday 🤞🏻 #besomeoneday #julyjam @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

Eggs So lovely 😍📚✍🏻 2y

Deifio Hi! Just wanted to check on you! How are you doing? I'm a bit stressed because end of term is approaching and there's exams and essays to write. Did you get my letter? 2y

SusanLee @Deifio hi there buddy, yes, I did but I haven‘t had the time to reply 🙏🏻 I‘m way behind as I have a stack of mail to reply but very busy with work and house chores 😅 Thank you for checking on me 😘 I‘m sure you‘ll breeze through your exams with flying colours 🙌🏻 2y

Deifio @SusanLee Just wanted to check if the letter got there. No pressure to reply! I'm way behind too. 2y

SusanLee @Deifio duly noted 😘 2y

#WinterGames Team #ReadNosedReindeer Posting the games for tomorrow before I head to bed. Sorry if I‘ve been MIA lately team! I suddenly got a new job and I‘m not done the old one so right now I‘m working two jobs. But I love seeing your posts so keep them coming! I will be checking all points for this past week tomorrow so make sure to tell me your final tally for Would You Rather. 5 points/question asked, 3 points/question answered.

StayCurious @jenniferw88 @TorieStorieS @AnneCecilie @CaitZ @Crazeedi @SaturnDoo @j9brown @overtheedge @Cosyreader @Mogoeg @AlobelThee @Allylu @TheEllieMo 5y

CaitZ I had 63 points for Would You Rather 5y

j9brown Congrats on the new job, I hope it's a good one! 293 for Would You Rather (10 questions across three posts, and 80 answered) 5y

Crazeedi I had 38 points 5y

Cosyreader This was hard! Okay so these aren‘t my “favourite” authors but I know that they‘d all be up for a laugh so I‘d invite Adam Kay, Liane Moriarty and Terry Pratchett. I‘d have everything prepared so they wouldn‘t have to bring anything other than funny stories! 5y

I do not have a favorite author. Not because I have so many that I can't pick just one; just that I do not have *one specific* author of whom I follow so I can read all of their work. Is that taboo? I feel like everyone has a favorite author...

RaimeyGallant I feel the same about favorites generally. 5y

TheEllieMo I don‘t have a favourite author, I don‘t have a favourite genre. I don‘t really have a favourite anything. 5y

MotionChickness @TheEllieMo @RaimeyGallant Good to know I‘m not alone! Recently been seeing a lot (and have been asked a lot) of posts around the internet on favorite authors.... I felt entirely out of the loop haha 5y

Hooked_on_books I definitely have authors who I will look for and be excited when their books come out, but there‘s no way I could name one favorite. Nor would I want to try. 5y

🌼 Yes! Two in fact - Anne Perry (historical Mystery/Suspense) & Lee Goldberg for Monk series.

🌼 Oh, not even 10% yet. They have soooo many books. I need to catch up!

#two4Tuesday @TheSpineView 😁👍

TheSpineView I have the same problem, too many books not enough time! Thanks for playing! 😊 5y
