I am a debut author, and I am looking for more friends on GoodReads. Feel free to add me ;)
My book is Normal Weird.
The humanity of the 22nd century is evolving into something else.
Who is normal? And who is weird?
What if it is the other way around?
What if the irreversible change is already here?
The idealistic professor Daniel Stein finds proof that his genetic mutation is the new stage of human evolution and declares his findings to the world. However, Daniel is yet to realise that true self-acceptance comes from within.
Daniel’s perfect vision is challenged when he meets illogical and emotive Maria.
‘SAPIENS meets BLACK MIRROR’Normal Weird: Spellbinding and Provocative – The UPGRADE may already be here…

I agree! Every time I reread one of my works, I can see something I should have done, said or punctuated differently, but you just have to let it go! But 74 books! I salute you!!

I generally try to read a book every week, and I think I will catch up with the Halo books starting next week.

If you're already growing your own vegetables to be more self sufficient, here's another idea.
You could also be contributing to the revival of the bee population which has scarily been in decline recently which means bad news for mankind.
I live in too urban an area to be honest and I wouldn't want a lawsuit from an angry neighbour whose child has been stung or who's found a bees nest in their attic.
However it's a fascinating read, and if you have the time and the space, you may just be tempted to try this.

God bless, and stay safe.

This stunning tome provides a wealth of information, its pages adorned with beautiful illustrations. It is a volume to be read slowly, savored, and enjoyed.

I favorite chapter details the show dog, Biff, a champion boxer, especially gripping to me because my French bulldog, Velvet, is a purebred. She "shows" as a character in my new mystery series set in Gilded Age 1898, starting with "A GILDED DEATH."

Hi.
I don't know how you count how many books that you have read.
Are we counting from the day we joined Goodreads, or are we counting from that first book we ever read??
The first book that I fell in love with was The Biggest Bear. I was in elementary school. I checked it out of the library over and over. So I can't tell you how many books I have read only what I am reading now.

The people counting books are counting how many they read this year for the Goodreads yearly challenge. But really it doesn't matter how many you've read, regardless of when you're counting from, since it's the pleasure in the experience that really matters, whether you're on your third book for the year or have read a few hundred already. Yes, I do the challenge each year, but I don't worry that much about how many books I read, instead just enjoying the reading experience, and focussing on what the book is rather than what number book it might be for me this year. That would be my advice to anyone, whether you're the kind of person who reads three books a year or three hundred: just enjoy the reading experience, and appreciate the book for what it is.

A refreshingly original story.

The novel is the first in a historical trilogy about the Black Death in 14th Century England. The research was impressive, but the characters were flat and the pacing dragged. A little disappointing.

Good logic!

So far, this story is interesting. It's the first book I'm reading from this author.
