The jaw-dropping Minerva Bowl from the Hildesheim Treasure, a hoard of Roman silver unearthed in 1868 in Germany. In high relief, Athena-Minerva sits on a rock, holding a cane or pedum, wearing her magnificent helmet. Note her little owl on the left. 🦉 🏺 1/

As it happens, all of my books have been printed in Calibri. I think it's a nice font.

Is that now enough for me to be barred from the USA?
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

A review does not have to be long or sophisticated either! Just say you liked it, or something you liked about it!

One of the best reviews of all time was that one-liner on ye olde Twitter from *checks notes* bigolas dickolas

It does matter, it does help.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Reviews are the lifeblood of indie authors.

In the last few years, reviews have trickled to a near standstill, which creates a conundrum: need readers to get reviews, but need reviews to get readers.

If you take the time to write even a single sentence review, YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU I LOVE YOU

NEW Isotope analysis of copper artefacts from Bronze Age Möriken-Wildegg, Switzerland finds some copper was likely sourced as far away as Cyprus, indicating that, c.1400 BC, even rural communities were involved in the extensive Eurasian market networks.
