I read that meta won't allow the author to promote her book on their platforms; so of course I just to order it. #bookmail

Amor4Libros A friend started this today and told me after one chapter that it‘s a good read! 😊 2d
Oryx Got it for the same reason! It's good 2d
TheBookgeekFrau @Oryx @Amor4Libros I'm glad to hear it's good! 2d
Deblovestoread Same! I love how readers support authors in this way. I think of it as sending a big FU to MZ. 2d

2 days ago my backyard was covered in 6in" of snow; today outdoor reading--gotta love Colorado! ?

Starting March's #doublespin

TheBookHippie Happens here too! Snow in the forecast for the week though! 🙃 5d
TheBookgeekFrau @TheBookHippie So far, no snow in the forecast here. But then again, the forecast is a mere suggestion 😵‍💫😂 5d
bookandbedandtea That's one of the best things about Colorado! ❄️☀️❄️☀️ 5d

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I learned that year 1!! Also, windbreaker/rain gear always in the car along with a hat, scarf, and gloves. I used to joke that every outing was like packing for an overnight stay; now it's just normal 😁 4d

bookandbedandtea I loved this book when I was a kid! I think I was 10 or so when I got it from a book fair and I know I read it multiple times throughout middle school. Child-me was very impressed by Karana. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I was trying to decide if child me would have been impressed. I think yes that she befriended the dog, but that's about it 😂 2w

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau In my teens I also loved the Harlequin romances my older sister would give to me. One day I came home to find my mother had thrown them all away! 😱 She told me that one book was as good as the rest and that I deserved better books. Need I say she was a librarian? 🤣 1mo
dabbe @bthegood LOVED that show! I still watch reruns occasionally. They were so adorable together! His books were rapid page turners. BLOODLINE was probably his most popular and my fave. 1mo
