Becca Fox | 4 comments Hey everyone!

I'm an indie author looking for some feedback about love tropes.

I've used the enemies-to-lovers trope, the childhood-friends-to-lovers trope, the two-strangers-meet-and-there's-instant-chemistry trope, and the exes-who-found-each-other-again-and-fell-in-love-for-a-second-time trope. My personal favorite is enemies to lovers, but I don't want to rely on that one. I like to change things up. So what are your favs? What would you like to see more of?

Groovy Lee I'm too old to April Fool anyone, but I can tell a joke on this day:

How does a penguin build his home? Wait for it.....

Igloos it!!! :)

Emma Hopps | 3 comments why did that actually make me smile hahaha


message 528: by Kristie, Moderator (Retired) (new)

Kristie | 5928 comments That's terrible, Groovy! hahaha You made me smile too. :)

My mom tried to play an April Fool's joke on me this year. Ugh... lol She also called my nephew and my aunt before me. My aunt fell for it, but my nephew said, "I've been waiting for this call all day." lol They crack me up. She had to let me go so she could make her next call. haha

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 1597 comments HAPPY EASTER!


message 531: by Kristie, Moderator (Retired) (last edited Apr 04, 2021 07:53AM) (new)

Kristie | 5928 comments Thank you, Christine! Happy Easter to you too. :)

We are having a very quiet Easter this year. It is just my husband and me. We are hanging out, not doing too much at the moment (I'm reading... well, after checking GR of course, lol). We are going to take a drive and take the dogs for a long walk in a park after lunch. Then, we will come back for a nice, if quiet, Easter dinner for two and probably watch a movie this evening. So, just a relaxing day.

My family doesn't live close by, so we usually have an open house for any friends that don't have plans so no one is alone on Easter. However, we can't do that this year (or last year), so I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. In the meantime, I think our relaxing Easter is just perfect for today.

What is everyone else doing today?

message 536: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 1597 comments No problem Kristie and thanks Kristie and I had dinner with my family and zooming with my mom’s side of the family Kristie


message 537: by Kristie, Moderator (Retired) (new)

Kristie | 5928 comments Oh, I need to get on that too, Groovy. My house has taken a backseat with the new puppy and it's starting to show (at least to me, lol).

That sounds really nice, Christine.


message 538: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee A new puppy, Kristie. Oh my goodness. That's like having another child. But I bet he/she is adorable. My house has taken a backseat too. Not only can I see it, but I can feel it:) Don't get me started on the outside. I have to replace all the shrubs I killed last year.

I'm just glad winter is over. I hope you have fun with your grandson this year like always.


message 539: by Kristie, Moderator (Retired) (new)

Kristie | 5928 comments Oh my gosh... my yard is a mess too. lol Neither my husband nor I are good at gardening or enjoy yard work. It's a challenge.

Thanks! Yes, he will be here later in June, once school is done for the year. :)

That's excellent, Christine! Here's hoping you have no side effects.

I have had both doses now and did fine. My arm was a little sore the first time, but no more so than if I had done difficult arm exercises.


message 546: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 1597 comments Yep Kristie and thanks Kristie and oh ok Kristie


message 547: by sonya (new)

sonya marie madden  | 259 comments I also got my first vaccine last week.


message 548: by Groovy (last edited Apr 19, 2021 10:38AM) (new)

Groovy Lee Good for you, Christine! My daughter and her boss got the Phizer vaccine. It wasn't until the second dose that the side effects kicked in. Besides the sore arm, my daughter was very fatigued for about a week with a low grade fever. Her boss had to leave work because of the foggy effects to her mind.

I'll get the vaccine in a few months. I'm in no hurry. But good for those that did.

Thanks for the World Book info.
