I try to avoid using sentences that have to include that or which, but sometimes it's a must. Ok, I'll DM you!

I've started cleaning up my first draft and I've run into some grammar issues.

Can someone help me understand when to use "which" and when to use "that".

I understand it a bit better now because of this article http://www.writersdigest.com/online-e... but still not fully.

I'd appreciate the help.

There seems to be an issue with my hosting company. They're on it. I hope it's fixed soon.

Ooh, got it. Yess, I set that up as well. :D I wanted to separate all the books under different categories so that customers can easily find their favorite genres and so that for example Christian readers aren't bombared with erotica before they can get to christian fiction lol.

That's a good idea! I think I will go with the price for all since not everyone is doing a discount.

Awesome!

Click on the books, e.g. START AGAIN, to check out where/how I added the price and availability info.

Feedback is appreciated, as always!

What does everyone think about the banners?

(Test phase)

Other colors? I didn't want to make them too wide because I figured that too much of the covers would be blocked.

Hi Ruth. Adorable story! Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for for NI.com ;)
