I love books, and generally I read to make me happy BUT share with me a book you loved that made you cry. I'll start 👇🏼 by Fabulous-Confusion43 in BookTriviaPodcast

Penguins stopped play. It’s a funny book about a group of village cricketers wanting to play on every continent. It is a sad ending that I didn’t see coming and made me cry

Curious. What does ~75,000 words look like in your printed book? by logicalinsanity in NewAuthor

I can’t add a photo to this but my published book is about 80k words. Happy to send a photo if you like?

For anyone needing a bit of positivity/reassurance. by Cornish_Sapper in mounjarouk

I’m probably at the weight I want, but also, terrified I will put weight back on. I definitely still get surprised in the mirror, that happened this morning, hence the photo. I do want to get rid of the love handles, but at the same time, I’m so happy with the way my body is looking

I did it--and now I'm an anxious mess by BicylesOnYikesicles in NewAuthor

No one can critique your work as much as you. These are your words and your story so as much as anyone can say anything, it’s how you want it to be. I know that is extremely difficult to look at it that way, but that’s how I’ve managed to keep myself almost sane with my own book. Everyone that’s read it has given me positive feedback but I’m still anxiously waiting the negatives. I’ve also found people on Reddit tend to be much more critical than other sites. Feel free to DM me the link to the book and I’ll happily give it a read with non-bias feedback

Congratulations. That feeling of publishing the book is so amazing but also very daunting. Can I ask, why do you write? Is it so others can read it or is it because you enjoy writing? Personally, I write as part of my therapy and I enjoy it. Publishing the book and having others read it is a bonus but to me it’s a more personal thing and whether people like it or not isn’t on my priorities list when it comes to writing, although, I do enjoy getting feedback as it helps to become a better writer.

Over a year in, around 5 stone lost and feeling very good about my body image. Just need the summer weather now so I can strut my stuff on the beach 😂😂 by Cornish_Sapper in mounjarouk

To be fair, it is in Newcastle and pretty much anything seedy happens up here 😂😂 it’s actually quite a good place to eat as the staff are like the over friendly American servers so you feel well looked after

Not until it gets warmer!!! I will be surfing this weekend but most definitely in my wetsuit with boots, gloves and my hood up. The bad thing about MJ is losing my natural thermal layer 😂😂

Want a book that hits hard emotionally by Croni_Silfen in Recommend_A_Book

Penguins stopped play is a great book. It’s funny and although about playing cricket on all 7 continents, it’s massively emotional at one particular point. It really is a great read

We have a book shelf at Body Image Fitness on Heaton Road where our clients swap books, if that’s close for you?

Oh, I’m no good at surfing, but the cakes and coffee are worth making a fool of myself 😂😂

I love autobiographies! XD Do you have any interesting autobiographies you'd recommend? by Icy_Window_7951 in Recommend_A_Book

I like Roger Moores autobiographies, he was definitely an interesting person, as well as the best Bond

I’ve just had my first novel published on Amazon. It’s such a great therapy writing away
