@RWeberWrites Nim's Island by Wendy Orr. I think there's a special knack for language that's both elegant and easy to read, and Orr has it. I still have my copy from when I was seven.
@ElenaShelest Six-paragraph descriptions of the main character's looks, especially when the author is horny. Just tell me their eye color/hair color/distinguishing marks; I don't need to hear about the exact shape and volume of their breasts.
@clemmiegirlnz A soul-searching librarian finds hersef stranded in her hometown after she came home to foreclose on a small country inn. Against her better judgement, she falls in love with Santa Claus. Together they learn the true meaning of Christmas.
@commontonguemag Currently coming to the end of a series on Spiritualism on #Aroono. I've done Ann O'Delia Diss Debar, Mina Crandon, Houdini and Conan Doyle. Up next is the Fox Sisters.

@MarcusCVance @raekennedy_ "Thisiswhymomworries"... now I'M worried.
Also, I laughed at this for a solid minute and now I can't explain to my dad what I was laughing about.
@MMTolley I write for #Aroono! Mostly history articles, ghost stories, and some book recs. I'm doing a series on Spiritualism right now.

Tip to all #YA writers:
If you have #writersblock, imagine your main character where you last saw them and ask yourself "what is the stupidest possible thing they could do?" And then make them do it. What happens after that is their problem.
An unlucky in love lawyer finds herself stranded in her hometown after she came home to attend the town's annual Spinsters in Winter Festival. Against her better judgement, she falls in love with a doomsday survivalist. Together, they learn the meaning of Christmas
What's yours?
@faiitthh_@readersroost Wislawa Szymborska. She died just a few years ago, I think, and her poetry was my favorite all throughout high school. Her poems are funny, brainy and observant.
Also Mary Leapor if you're into older stuff. Especially "Mira's Will."
@anne_theriault She wrote a short story called "Janice" in college; her future husband (who hadn't actually met her yet) read it and immediately declared that he wanted to marry the writer. If that isn't romance...
