@klhicks912 Ooh, I had an idea for a book based in Cefalù, Italy 😍

I started off my morning by spilling coffee on my Dale Carnegie book. How's your day going? #dalecarnegie #booksandcoffee

@MahlatjieTalane Ooh, following along! I'm looking to read more South African books this year 🤗

[thebooknerdnook @booknerdnook]

Crime readers, I have an important question. What author do you think I should read this year?

[thebooknerdnook @booknerdnook]

Interesting, thank you. I'll look into it.

[thebooknerdnook @booknerdnook]

Looking for book recommendations 🤔

What books made you proud to be British? Or discussed historical events in the UK?

@sanchez_m_m I'm just dreaming of the day when I finish a manuscript, get it published, and have someone outside of friends and family buy it.

@klhicks912 I'm not published yet, so this process may change as I learn more.

[thebooknerdnook @booknerdnook]

@klhicks912 I'm pedantic when it comes to typos in my work, so I edit as I go. I finish an idea or section, look over it once or twice, and then move on. I also get my Dad and/ or husband to look over sections. Once I'm done, I'll edit from start to finish and may consider external help.

@MemoirJoyGirl I'm a newbie, so I don't really have advice that hasn't already been shared. Great tips.

[thebooknerdnook @booknerdnook]

@MarcyBes That's great, congrats!!

@indiebookreader I'm not an author (yet), but I love this idea!

@writingoutlook @ounamarie Hi! I'm new to X with this account, but I've been over on Instagram for a while now. I love thrillers and Harry Potter, but I've started expanding what I read and am enjoying some lighthearted romance 😊

"If Only" gives a first-person account of two young girls going through trauma and how they arrive at forgiveness. The content is tough but covered in an incredibly raw and real manner.

5 star read from a young author with a bright future ⭐️
