Q5)Finally … ? The US Supreme Court ruled same sex couples allowed to marry: on 26th June, 2015. The ruling was made under which Amendment to the US Constitution: the 14th, 15th or 16th?
* Very true, Olga, very true! I can always have a look at Ebay, as well: an average second hand price could be a good guide.
Oh, it wasn’t a comic book: it was one of the Target novelisations: they were huge, in the days before VHS. Dr Who and the Loch Ness Monster — the Target version of Terror of the Zygons — was the first book I bought.
† Hello, Mum!
‡ Let me know what you think, Debbi! Oh, I’ve been toying around with NightCafe: one of those AI art generators. I’just fed ‘Loch Ness Monster’, ‘Zygon’, ‘TARDIS’ and ‘Dr Who’ into the thing, and got these …
Q5) England Oh, I see. I know Rosie, the reviewer whose team I'm a member of, has reviewed a number of novelisations based on Stargate, which I guess she loves (both, the movie and the series). I know I read the Star Wars novel, a Superman one, and also some related to Twin Peaks (I think it was supposed to be a diary of the main character, the FBI agent), but it was many years back. Have you ever checked Reedsy Discovery? I know you tend to review more films and series than books, but I somehow signed up for their newsletter, where they recommend books, mostly indie books, and one of their team contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in becoming one of their reviewers. You can choose genres, and if you're interested, you pick up one of the books, and then have to review it by a certain date (although not earlier in your own site or other places). The idea is that other readers can send you "tips" if they enjoy your reviews. I've reviewed two books for them, so far, and got a tip of 5 dollars (I think it is dollars, or euros...). They are also keen on video reviews. I had to fill a form and then they contacted me and had a video call with them where they explain things and you can ask for any clarifications. There is also the option of adding an affiliate link to your website, and then you're supposed to get some money if somebody signs up to be a reviewer thanks to your link (and they do as well when they post their first review. I think it is something like 25 dollars, or euros...) Anyway, a bit of money. I have one of those links, but I haven't posted it on my blog, as it is a free blog and you're not supposed to make a commercial use of it. Of course, you can add the link to other social media you regularly use, but I haven't bothered. If you were interested, I could share that one with you, but have a look first, in any case. If it is not something that tickles your fancy, that's understandable. It is not a big business, but you might like something you see there. This is just their site, but let me know if you are interested in trying it, and I could send you the other link. https://reedsy.com/discovery
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
Oh, that’s a thought, Debbi: the former president may issues with tape recordings.
