Stacey B’s comments from the SSG: Spy/Spec-Ops Group group.

Felix- you could not have said it better. With so many new authors coupled with a myriad of subjects, it is so necessary and most helpful. As an avid reader, I would welcome more tags to authored books. I can't understand what the downside could be.

Felix- As you know, I am not an author; but simply, just an avid reader. I lack experience in groups under the auspice Goodreads. I joined GR and this group in search of great novels, as well as having a little fun online with other interested parties - when the mood strikes me. :) I also joined 2 groups yesterday that were outlined, before I saw the words of concern. /////// Hopefully, I am not the only naive person in this group who does not understand the what, or purpose of political bashing, nor the reference to a lurker" in this particular arena. Is this a common behavior that is directed from invisable authors to authors? I do not understand the gain, or damages. Tell me, what ultimate prize could be so important to attract this climate?

Legal thriller

Felix...Thank you! You just made "life a little easier for authors" today. What an outstanding task you took on. I hope it wasn't too long. And another job well done. Although I am not an author; you make it quite easy to choose books that may not show up on specific lists. Thank you again, Stacey

I second that!

Not really- Still think Jeff Cohen is adorable. :) //// I love his moral character and his intelligence. Love the fact that b/c he is also an art restorer; with each book I gain the historical knowledge of new artists I lack, who are the old masters. I wish he would restore a Jackson Pollack :)

I'm going with Gabriel Allon.

Feliks... Your work is awesome. Well done my friend. As the minutes go by, we see it paying off.

You both get credit. 50/50

Nice choice :)

Love the leather jacket. What was the last spy novel you read?

Last time they asked me to take off my blazer, I wouldnt and couldnt do it. The issue was there was nothing underneath. No can do. They put me in the other line w/ a pat down before the scan. If I walked away, Im sure they would would go into lock down mode. And Im a tailored nice looking girl. Who would think I would ever want to be a spy- they think I want to be a princess. :)

I may have read your comment to fast, but Im referring to the stiletto knife in the shoe from To Russia w/ Love, which I did not see as well. The pat down isnt the problem. That happens if TSA finds something in ur carry on, or in the body scan. I would like to say I would be a little more resourceful; which would mean I would need my own plane, or other means of private transportation which would exclude "security checks".

Curious if you used the "knife" as a response prompt, which worked in my case; or........ you havent been through the X-Ray Scan at airport where you dont take off shoes, belts,or empty ur pockets. Wont work.

Correct- not unlike the Kings and Royalty who had food tasters as well.

I get it. Too bad; although if I were in my busy mode now, I would not be able to respond.

Many of my friends comment about all the Mossad books I read- while they read a lot of the trashy novels for their spice. Good point re X-Ray. Will have to develop something new. BTW... why is it that you and I and Felix are the only ones who play in this Q&A forum? Dont tell me no-one wants to give away their secrets.lol

what did I click to cause repetition of a comment?

I met him before he passed away, and he told me this. I never asked what his disguise was. Certainly didnt look like much in the movie.

I would like to think I should bring a knife with a very sharp blade, and a few syringes with fast acting sedatives. Before leaving I might contemplate where to hide a tracking device, or consider swallowing it. There was a surgery done where tiny cameras were inserted in the back of the eyes, which were tracked by other operatives. I believe I am reading way too much fiction, and especially being a female.
