@lenikauffman That’s awful. I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this.

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

What a relief for everyone. Hopefully the agreement will be accepted.

@Gray_Plume My in-laws swear by Reid’s Chocolate out of Cambridge. Chocolate covered Miss Vickie’s sounds amazing.

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@Gray_Plume Jos Louis.
Or if you want to go local, Soma chocolate, or Chocosol.

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@TheRegencyCook Yes, but add onions too. This reminds me of a typical Sunday lunch after church. 😋

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@mlhelliwell @cbcradio ❤️ I was thinking about you and everyone on the East Coast. Hope you and your loved ones are safe and didn’t receive much damage.

@WalkerWitch94 @sarahmaclean I also have a Rocketbook. I’ve looked at the ReMarkable, but I prefer Rocketbook because it’s more notebook like with real pages and you have lots of options for pen colour. I actually have 2 sizes, I toss the smaller in my bag and the larger one stays on my desk.

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@AshDylanLit That is by far the best description.
And bought.

@bandherbooks Just imagine how it would look sitting in the sun on a hot summer day. 😆

@catsteinbooks @JenReadsRomance My kids were the same when they had to sign a document. Although with biometrics and the like, maybe signatures will also be a thing of the past. 🤷‍♀️

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@JenReadsRomance The knowing how to make signature part is interesting and I’ve seen it first hand. Perhaps one day it’ll be an activity kids do on field trips to museums, like when they learn how to spell their names in basic hieroglyphs.

@RdotSpoon I saw it twice in theatre when it came out. I love the way things were revealed without a word - the hand flex, Lizzy’s little laugh as she sees Pemberley for the first time. And the score is amazing too.

@HugoThePinkCat @patbahn @ItsPapaJefe @RareOats Unless you’re in newish a Toronto condo. So many developers are making condos with bedrooms without windows.

@melon_reads My 11 y.o. likes Katie the Catsitter, when my oldest was that age he loved the Amulet series.

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@Gray_Plume Yep. Alo was a cool experience (we went for our anniversary), but there are SO MANY places that have amazing food.

Pro-tip ask in local FB groups. I’ve found a lot of good places that way.

@FarahHeron @readforeverpub Gorgeous cover!

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

I ❤️ this cover! It’s amazing.

[Farah Heron @FarahHeron]

Cover Reveal!

I am absolutely in love with everything about the cover for Jana Goes Wild! The colors! The giraffe! The adorable ELEPHANT!
JANA GOES WILD is an adult Rom-Com, and will be out May 2 by @readforeverpub. It's a second chance romance set on a Tanzanian Safari! 🦓🦒🐘

@Gray_Plume I love the templates in BookBrush but prefer using Canva overall.

[Melissa Sawyer @verymerrymint]

@sarahmaclean Yep. And William and Kate will be Prince and Princess of Wales.
I wonder if Camilla will be Queen or keep her title as Duchess of Cornwall.
I’m also curious to know if Charles will be Charles or choose a different name as King.
