This story had a bit of a thriller vibe to it, but I didn't quite consider it a thriller while reading it. Perhaps at the very end. The back of the book gives very little description - "This is a story about a married couple."...

patgalca It certainly had a different twist from previous husband/wife thrillers. Thanks for reading and commenting.

When I flipped open my laptop, nothing happened: the screen was black I thought, "Oh no, not again!" I really don't want to have to buy a new one. So I pushed buttons and flipped toggles and nothing. Then I...

patgalca I have so many books here and I can only manage to read 1 or 2 chapters a night. I need a whole weekend to myself with no tv or internet.

I watch a lot of BookTube videos on TBR (to be read) games. I thought of one but realized I could get copyright dinged if I went to all the trouble to create a game using pictures from the movies. Grease is one of my favourite...

patgalca I never re-read books. There are so many books to read/choose from, especially in my house alone, I don't want to waste time on something I've already read.

patgalca I never re-read a book. I have over 500 books in my house right now that I haven't read yet. I am a mood reader as well but I thought I'd give this a try. I might choose my own read in between picking out of the prompt jar. Especially if I don't pick Freddy My...

patgalca @aureategloom I'm behind in posting reviews. I post them on Goodreads immediately and share that link on Facebook. Then I write another review here and on Instagram. So... two books to review and one I am reading.

patgalca It's just so heartwarming to know there are still people like this in the world. Of course they're from the East Coast of Canada.

patgalca No, I have not. I've been meaning to though. I just don't think I'm a very good reviewer. I struggle with writing a review without giving away the story and/or making it interesting enough for people to want to read the book.

patgalca @JudyEv Same. I had a friend who wrote a dream dictionary. She followed that up with Dream Quest cards. She moved out west and said she didn't want to take the 1,000 packets with her and asked if I would try and sell them. I emailed a local subscription book...

patgalca @JudyEv Everyone is saying it is the way to go. That getting an agent and publishing the traditional route with a major publisher just isn't doable. I queried 70-80 agents last year with not one nibble. So many people are suggesting I self-publish. But it can...

patgalca I don't see any characters in books in real life. What I can't handle is fantasy. They are unrealistic and I cannot relate to them. They sometimes confuse me more than anything.

patgalca @JudyEv Some authors price their products really high so they make money. I know a former member of our writing group who did that. I thought it was an error and questioned him on it. He said it was not a mistake and that he had his reasons. That was it. I...
