Reader Friday-Let’s Go to the Movies…Again!

Posted on January 17, 2025 by Deb Gorman

My last post of 2024 was a fun discussion of favorite movie lines.

Today, let’s flip that and share the Worst Movie Lines Evah! The problem with this flip is that if a movie is bad, bad, bad, we tend to let it slip out of our memory banks. And often it’s the dialogue that makes the movie forgettable so we may have, well, forgotten those lines.

But there’s one that sticks out to me, and it’s been mentioned before over the decades.

Jenny, in Love Story: Love means never having to say you’re sorry…

Really? Love means always having to say you’re sorry…even when you’re not! 🙂

Now it’s your turn, TKZers…and if you have trouble remembering those forgettable lines, just google “worst movie lines”. I did!

Reader Friday: Favorite Summertime Treat

Posted on June 17, 2022 by Sue Coletta

The nice weather has finally hit New England. Yay!

As soon as the sun’s warmth spawns new life, the grass greening, trees filling in with leaves, flowers blossoming, it triggers me to crave seafood, ice cream, and burgers on the grill.

What’s your favorite summertime food, beverage, or treat?

Bonus points if you include a recipe. 🙂

Reader Friday: Book Covers

Posted on May 20, 2022 by Sue Coletta

Do you judge a book by its cover?

Do you like fancy covers with sprayed edges? Leather bound covers? Or do you like simple covers?

Does your answer change if it’s nonfiction? If so, how?

Name a favorite book cover and why it speaks to you. Remember, we’re talking only the cover, not the story inside.

Reader Friday: What Are You Reading?

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Sue Coletta

It’s always fun to catch up, and we haven’t done one of these for a while, so…

What are you reading?

Fiction or nonfiction?

Genre?

What are you enjoying most about the book?

I’m deep into HOLLOW KINGDOM by Kira Jane Buxton. Normally, I steer clear from Apocalypse type novels. I’ve never even watched an episode of the Walking Dead. What attracted me to this funny, off-beat, heartwarming story was not the cover, or blurb, or industry praise. It’s narrated by a crow. Brilliant!

Reader Friday: What Subjects Are You Passionate About?

Posted on February 18, 2022 by Sue Coletta

Last Tuesday marked the start of a new endeavor for me: teaching a 5-week course on serial killers. I never tire of the subject. To some, it may seem like a strange passion/obsession, but all aspects of murder and forensics fascinate me.

Apart from the craft of writing, what subject(s) are you passionate about?
