Haven't heard much from Mike Johnson lately. Wonder what he's been up to.

Hallmark holiday movies invariably include those with royalty from a fictional European country with pseudo-British accents, always badly done.

This one has the WORST accents I've ever heard. It's fingernails-on-the-chalkboard bad. I'm 10 minutes in and can't watch another minute.

Let's get rid of this ridiculous ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating system. It's a disservice to readers and is essentially "grade inflation."

ALSO: Ratings without comments are pointless. ⭐⭐⭐ = "meh" to me. Tell me WHY you gave it ⭐⭐⭐ (basically a C).

Those of us still reeling from the effects of changing the clocks for DST curse those of you who say we need to stay on DST all year long.

We need to quit f'ing around with the clocks.

Lots of posts lately about the use (or misuse) of this particular part of the platform.

Some of us are here for recommendations and lively conversation about books and authors, what's good and what to avoid. (And NOT for "post a book a day, no comments" posts!)
