😷 Picky Bookworm (Proofreader)

Hey! If I organized a readathon, who's interested in participating? comment below! The readathon will be a week long, probably in May or June, to benefit Tulsa CASA, a non-profit whose volunteers helps abused and neglected kids get through court and everything.

@realmattfalcon Liar

@PickyBookworm Absolutely nothing

What is wrong with you?

@kblakemanwriter Awesome! I think my June spots are filled, but I'd still love to have you! DM me please!

@PickyBookworm I'm interested! (And LGBTQ+)

Now scheduling guests for the podcast! Apparently my blog post idea didn't work, which is a bummer. I needed people in one place! Oh well, let me know if you want to be on the podcast! *preference given to LGBTQ+ for the empty June spots*

@DarjaniMaya Honestly, you could be a purple spotted monkey/giraffe hybrid vampire, and I'd probably want you on the podcast, as long as you can talk books and be interesting. All identities are welcome and celebrated! DM me, please!

@PickyBookworm Anyway I'd love to be on the podcast (I'm ace, if that helps me get a spot lmaoooo)

@CharlieCavendi4 @Sarcastic_elf Sounds amazing! I'll DM you :-)

@PickyBookworm @Sarcastic_elf Ha sorry should have clarified. Part time reviewer , interviewer and podcaster.

Hey! I'm scheduling guests for the podcast for June and July! as usual, I have lost a bunch of info for those of you who wanted to schedule, so I wrote a post on the blog. Please leave a comment or use the contact form so I won't lose you! thepickybookworm.com/calling-indie-…

@DarjaniMaya Yep! All my life! Well, since I was 4, so long enough lol

@PickyBookworm Wait are you a Tulsan? 👀👀👀

I love getting chances to spread the word about amazing Oklahoma books and authors on other podcasts. Thanks Pamela for having me on the @PickyBookworm! #readingcommunity #BookTwitter open.spotify.com/episode/3wxueE…

@Sarcastic_elf Why are you boo-ing blogs? I hope you're living up to your sarcastic name.

@PickyBookworm Blogs. . .BOOOOO!

@vinayvasan @CharlieCavendi4 @Sarcastic_elf Thank you, Vinay! It was fun having you! I love lifting up the book community, and finding people who love the "indie club" as much as I do makes my heart happy!

@CharlieCavendi4 @PickyBookworm @Sarcastic_elf I think you will make fit right in :) - I was part of this a few weeks back & it was so much fun discussing books and other stuff on this

@CharlieCavendi4 @Sarcastic_elf What do you mean by "author adjacent?" If you mean blogger, bookshop owner, editor, or publisher, etc.... then absolutely!

@PickyBookworm @Sarcastic_elf Is it just authors you’re after or would say an author adjacent person qualify? Umm asking for a friend

@RenardReads @BookSpotlight Most of the time I do. But sometimes I want something along the lines of "5 ways Pinterest can help authors" and see what comes up. Do I always use those specific ideas? No. But they're good at getting my brain going.

@PickyBookworm @BookSpotlight You can't "generate" your own ideas?

‘it’s okay to use ai for covers and editors and promo so long as i wrote my book’ is a heck of a way to defend your stance. no, sorry, we stand with artists AND authors AND editors in this community. no one gets left behind. we do not pick and choose. have integrity.

Hey, @POTUS, for the record, November 11 has BEEN a national holiday for OVER 100 years!!! It's called Veterans day! Used to be called Armistice Day, otherwise known as THE DAY WORLD WAR ONE ENDED! GOOGLE IT!

So apparently, there's been talk of "baby bonuses" in order to encourage more women to have babies. Still doesn't answer the question of what Trump is gonna do for those of us with infertility, does it? I'm actually past angry at this point. I'm just depressed.

I didn't have room in the previous post to say so, but this post is part of a paid promotion. It doesn't change my opinion of the book, but I still have to disclose.

I absolutely LOVED Thieving Shadows by @AuthorPiro, and definitely recommend it! You can preorder now, or purchase on May 13! If you've read any of Jessica's other books, you know what an amazing storyteller she is, so comment below if you're buying! shorturl.at/xol4c

@Sarcastic_elf Fine. Mention them more often, then. The Abyss isn't scary enough.

I am re-reading something that @PickyBookworm edited for me awhile back and am working on tightening some of that up. The number of antagonists stay!

@Sarcastic_elf @Wishful_Writing You're paying for my car. Right now, that's even better.

@PickyBookworm @Wishful_Writing I would say I'm not paying for your therapist, but I kind of am.

So, Patricia Heaton (you know, that lady from Everybody Loves Raymond?) Is apparently a doctor now! She's off telling women they need to get pregnant earlier, because hey, did you know your age affects the quality of your eggs? Cuz I didn't! (Insert sarcasm)
