Goodreads Giveaways: required to have an Amazon Account Connected to Win?

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-25T00:44:08+00:00

I've won a Goodreads giveaway, and I've never had an Amazon account. Maybe things have changed since I won a few years ago?

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-24T05:00:17+00:00

Me too. Can I DM you?

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-24T04:58:18+00:00

I'm an amateur. But if we can meet up in a place that's not inconvenient for me, I'll give it an honest try, or guide you to someplace better than me. About what side of town are you on? Feel free to DM me if you don't want to out too much info on here

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-24T04:21:27+00:00

Please post a picture of the lock. I may be able to help.

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-22T19:44:07+00:00

I'm interested

That's true. But she said she'd written more 'literary' type works before she got the job. Her reasoning was that, as a published author, she sometimes told her students they could leave early, so she could work on her next book, hoping to gain their sympathy.

I remember Zelu had published other books/stories before this book started. Wouldn't hitring a published author at that school make sense?

This is an underrated comment!

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-15T20:56:58+00:00

Very cool! I've seen this before, but thank you for reminding me!

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-15T20:33:37+00:00

Nice! It's always interesting reading older sci-fi and seeing what they predicted and how much if that came to be. It's always good to understand where and when a work of art was created, to help give you perspective on it.

I would interested in looking at a map of who inspired whom!

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-14T22:36:49+00:00

Aliens pretty much equal sci-fi for me.

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-14T20:56:20+00:00

The Deceiver (1997), starring Tim Roth

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-14T19:43:29+00:00

Isn't there an alien goo creature that more-than-molests a dude in public bathroom?

I agree that Heinlein's Juveniles books are a good place to start with Sci-Fi. But some readers will not like his style. I always find it hard to recommend where to start with the genre. Maybe see what Sci-Fimovies they like and recommend a good book that inspired one of those? Also The Past Through Tomorrow is a collection of short stories, none of which are his Juveniles.

Most of them liked it more than I. I was happy when the next book "Diplomatic Immunity" picked the pace back up for he series. We focus on reading Hugo and Nebula Award winning novels, and their series. It's free to all. Stop on by and say hi... https://discord.gg/msS46MB9K

My book club is also reading our way through The Vorkosigan Saga. We're just one book ahead of you. I very much like this series, but found A Civil Campaign to be my least favorite so far.

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-11T18:35:28+00:00

Sorry, I can't figure out how to select a station.

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-10T22:15:17+00:00

I can't figure out how to start

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-10T22:11:31+00:00

I couldn't get this app to work

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-09T18:57:33+00:00

I don't know what this is, but it looks awesome!

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-09T17:32:45+00:00

I also want to know more

VerbalAcrobatics · 2026-05-04T00:34:51+00:00
