Hey book reviewers! Got a burning question but were too shy, embarrassed etc. to ask? Like what if you had a crap experience reading a book you’ve promised to review? Something else? Let me know and I might use it in a promo video to celebrate the one-year anniversary for my guide book. TIA!

I swear, the more I listen to these songs, the more I want to hear more. Love the variety in their stuff, and this is a great example of throwing so much at the creative wall, and having it stick.

Went to a vinyl store in a market yesterday and the weirdest thing happened. I found signs on all the crates forbidding customers to flip through the stacks. Um...WTF? Flipping through old vinyl is part of the experience! Suffice to say, I kept walking.

Caught a new cop show on Prime called On Call, produced by Dick Wolf. It's none-stop action with some solid, dialed in characters that uses a first first person POV as we see what they see through their cams. It's only 8 episodes, and I have just one more to go. I hope there's a season 2.

Your periodic reminder that leaving even a one-sentence review of an indie writer's work on any platform (esp. Amazon, Goodreads, etc) will absolutely make that author's day, and yes, you cracked the code; it's me, it would make my day - it always does :) To everyone who already has, you're awesome!

While looking up some other info on IMDB, I just learned that David Morell had named his iconic Rambo character after the Rambo apple trees that Johnny Appleseed planted in 1800's. I did not know that until now.

Enjoyed a super tasty lunch at a fairly new Pho with my partner in crime yesterday. The day marked a decade of tolerating me and for that, I am grateful. And yes, I totally did a washroom selfie because even that was stylishly laid out among the impressive array of blossoms and LED décor.
