Dear car insurance and penis pill spam bots….
…my attempt at humor by taking and choosing the choicest sayings WERE NOT a challenge to you to try and overload my spambox. As of this morning, since yesterday, I have almost 200 spam posts. Please, slow down the constant onslaught of idiocy that is your attempts to trick me into thinking you are a real person.
Thank you,
Riley Amos Westbrook
P.S. Just as an experiment, for one day only, I’m going to APPROVE any comments made by bots on THIS POST that mention a pancake. If you have the word pancake just once in a diatrabe, I will approve your comment.
*To the readers of this blog* If any of these bots meet my specifications, please, don’t be stupid enough to click on their links. While I’m fairly certain these are all just a bunch of companies searching for new customers, all it takes is 1 key logger being put on your computer, and you’ve lost your passwords. So please, DON’T CLICK THE LINKS!
And now, for the funniest comments I’ve seen!
“Fell out of bed feeling down. This has brightened my day!” Cheap Insurance
“You’re the one with the brains here. I’m watching for your posts.” Tx Cheap Insurance
“It’s always a relief when someone with obvious expertise answers. Thanks!” Buy Levitra
“Plus, our money is worth more in Canada than it is here, at least it used to be. I dont know what the exchange is now since our money is not worth as much as it used to be and its been a few years since weve been up there.” Cheap Insurance
“TYVM you’ve solved all my problems” Generic Cialis Va
“I’m impressed. You’ve really raised the bar with that.” Cheap Insurance
“Now I feel stupid. That’s cleared it up for me” Buy Cialis
*Posted in reply to a comment I made* I wrote, “I love all poetry and writing styles, gives me ideas for my own! You never know where inspiration will come from.” This was their response. “Maybe. Maybe not. I was going for “theory” as a conceptual framework subsuming several more basic hypotheses, rather than the misinterpretation commentators usually espouse as the true meaning of “theory” when they refer to colloquial misinterpretation of “theory”. That also invites a tedious discussion of how word “meaning” is actually established.” Cheap Insurance NY
Hope you all have a wonderful day today, and remember, don’t click the links in the comments section!

#RileyAmosReviews, Finally starting to whittle down the pile edition!
So lately I’ve been spending WAY too much time writing, and not enough time reading. As a result, my TBR pile is now stacked halfway to the ceiling. So, I’ve decided to put the pen down for a bit and let the current story I was going to work on stew a little longer in the soup that is my brain. So here’s the first of what I hope are a slew of reviews, that way I quit feeling jealous of Alysia and her speed reading skills!
Kellie’s diary by Thomas Jenner and Angeline Perkins
This book wasn’t what I expected. A zombie apocalypse told from the perspective of a little girl, the story is quite engaging. I enjoyed the tale, and would recommend it to others. *I received a free copy from Amazon* still free, so get your copy now!

#RileyAmosReviews, I’m blaming the late start on Sara edition, ARC part!
A Secondhand Life by Pamela Crane
This is a great book! I was caught up right in the beginning. So tragic to lose your dad in an accident. I should know I lost mine 6 years ago. But to have to have a heart transplant to save your own life. This book was compelling and original for me. I enjoyed every minute of this wonderful and suspenseful book. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 5/5

Autumn Harvest: Maiden , by Tof Eklund
This book hits every one of my favorite things, I especially enjoyed the extra Tales at the end, giving readers a view into this fantastical world. I did not like the cover of this book. It did not catch my attention but you can never judge a book by its cover and this book is good. I you like to read fantasy, you should give this book a try. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 4/5

Carter Spence lived through a life changing accident. Then he decides to head West to find himself. This book had a surprising ending for me but I enjoyed it. I know someone in my family who lived through a life changing accident like this one and I still wonder if he will be okay. This book was good for me to read. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 4/5

So happy Sara hardly uses the computer, she’d probably murder me if she saw the titles to today’s reviews x D Anyways, here are some reviews from Alysia!
Phobia , by Daniel Lance Wright
I enjoyed this book! I have my own phobia myself so I can relate to the characters in this book. Though my phobia is different than theirs. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is a great read!. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 5/5
