every time i watch older british crime shows, it's a game of "who did that old guy play in game of thrones"

My 1st had to be about books

There is no power on earth for authors like word of mouth. Especially with the death of Twitter, so many of us have lost huge chunks of our reach. So please, if you love a book, tell your friends and talk it up on your social media. No voice is too small, every single word counts. And thank you!
