  1. @ReadReactReview @jackiebarbosa I don't need that book for my teen, but I might for my almost-10. I dread her teen years.
  2. @sunita_d @Tuphlos @growlycub Her covers are awful. The book I read was OK.
  3. @Cecilia_Grant no, but I am ready to abandon it, at least temporarily. It's disappointing.
  4. @HeidiBelleau They do. Sorry you have to deal with them.
  5. @Cecilia_Grant I have to spend a whole day writing Terms of Reference and revising by-laws before I get to start your book. *cries*
  6. @kelly_instalove Hmm. Sheik on a ranch, what could go wrong? If you decide to try an actually decent Intrigue, I suggest HelenKay Dimon.
  7. @dougalgodfrey Are they genre writers? Not everyone can do romance or fantasy world-building well in a short form.
  8. @susannafraser @IsobelCarr I want to tell some writers what I tell my students: use vocabulary you can control.
  9. @AnimeJune @DreamingReviews "Books do furnish a room."
  10. @IsobelCarr @susannafraser I have read WAY too much actual 19th century fiction not to notice a lot of these. It's like student papers, too.
  11. @IsobelCarr There's a reason I'm tweeting instead of reading. Keep putting it down.
  12. @IsobelCarr it's title fail book from this morning. I like the story idea but things keep tripping me up.
  13. @IsobelCarr or maybe if they are working really hard at shopping? You made me OED, but I still think it's wrong, not idiomatic.
  14. @IsobelCarr A modiste plys her trade. A customer does not ply. It's just wrong.
  15. @IsobelCarr @SonomaLass @cjewel @lazaraspaste It makes me so mad when pubs don't care enough to give me a good reading experience.
  16. Not just anyone could "ply her custom" at that modiste? You lost me there, book. #keepitsimple
  17. @wilkinspeter From now on, just leave that to me, big man.
  18. @SarahFrantz @meoskop @lazaraspaste Yes, it's Remembrance Day here. Date is WWI armistice.
