@DinaJDavis Thanks for clarifying! It seemed like a very obvious ai phishing attempt, I just don't understand what their endgame could possibly be.

Multiple authors and agents have received emails from me inquiring about their work. These emails did not come from my HarperCollins email address, and I did not send them. They are phishing attempts. Please disregard these emails if you received them.

@nofrillsCA Why do some things cost so much more in various neighborhoods? How is that not price gouging?

@311Toronto any idea when snow is going to be cleared from streets in East York, specifically on bus routes like Main Street? The snow storm was over two weeks ago and buses are still having to wait for oncoming traffic to get by.

My latest read: "Puzzle House" by @userbits Love puzzle-based horror? You'll almost certainly enjoy this one. Highly recommended! 👍 Goodreads goodreads.com/review/show/83… Book Radar thebookradar.com/review/5396 StoryGraph app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/9f6099… #puzzle #horror #book #bookreview

Maybe @TPSOperations can answer why I've been on hold for over 5 hrs and still not gotten through to anyone?

The writer of Eat, Pray, Love wrote a new memoir where she admits plotting to murder the love of her life. Didn't Gil Valle go to prison for less?

Once again I have been snubbed by the Goodreads Choice Awards. It's almost as if quality, popularity and mass market appeal mean more than my own massive ego. #GoodreadsChoiceAwards

Gonna give this Twitter thing another go, and try not to look at the For You tab.
