Scam

No longer being on Twitter I can’t tell folks about the latest scam but I’m probably the last to know. One of my email addresses is a hotmail address with Outlook and I was informed it will close unless I resubmit. I could tell everyone on that account to move but instead I deleted it. If it comes back I will note it as a scam. It’s enough to put anyone off using the computer!

A slow burning romance on a superficial level with great descriptions of life in the theatre but far too many poorly written characters and a predictable plot. I struggled to get through it.

Julie Round and 3 other people liked Hilary Bacon's review of The Empire (The Empire, #1): "I would say this book was ok but a bit predictable and for me it had too many characters and not enough depth to the story. I would say Michael should stick to singing "

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).

I have just come back to Goodreads. I hope I can navigate my way around this time. I need to add my latest book and will do so later - and find my previous friends.
