Thanks for the friend invite, Tara! For a moment, I went into a brain freeze and was like - ‘Is she who I think she is’. Enjoyed reading How We Disappear: Novella & Stories and will definitely be looking out for more works by you. 🤍

Thank you for the acceptance, then. As you can see from my profile, I'm a pretty active Goodreads member and enjoy connecting with fellow readers and getting their recs. It's kind of the only social site I enjoy, honestly, cause it's all about books.

Hi Tara,
I generally do not accept invitations from authors, particularly because many seem to be seeking readership. Also I like to keep my "friends" list small so that we can really keep in touch. I have met several! I enjoy your writing in"Hanna" and I am a long time Massachusetts resident so, here I am!

I don't think I know anyone personally who did not love ATL. But reading is so personal, you never know. Thanks for the acceptance!

Thank you for the invitation, Tara, delighted to meet you here. I haven't yet read All the Living but had found it while browsing at random in my public library and checked it out ... then came across your review that confirms my desire to read it. I look forward to reading something of yours as well.

I think it's great that you read so much and keep authors posted. We don't hear enough from readers.

Tara wrote: "Thanks, Teresa! Our paths keep crossing, don't they??? Glad you read that journal and that you found the story."

I used to feel like I was 'stalking' Pia Z. Ehrhardt over the internet, because I kept crossing her path. Now I feel that way about you. I promise it's not 'intentional,' ;) but I can't imagine having better literary company!

Thanks, Teresa! Our paths keep crossing, don't they??? Glad you read that journal and that you found the story. I was impressed with the issue as a whole. Love how they represent all genres on one theme.

I was reading the latest issue of "Status Hat" and was excited to see and read a story by you there. To anyone else reading this comment who might be interested, the story is here: http://www.statushat.org/create/statu...

Hi Barbara:

Thanks, liked your review of the new TC Boyle book.

I'll let you know when the book will be ready. I hear mid-May?

Not sure why goodreads was giving you a hard time on the comments page. Hopefully a one-time glitch!

T

(Will goodreads let me comment on your page today?!?)

Hi, Tara!

I always love seeing what you've been reading! You've been very influential on my to-read list.

Definitely let me know when I can order your new book.

Dear Friends:

Thanks for joining and I wish everyone a happy holiday and lots of quality reading time over vacation!
