Reply to A new writer tweeted about a low book signing turnout, and famous authors commiserated by AmethystOrator
I've written some (very) small timey history books. Getting people to book signings is like pulling teeth and I've heard there is a trend away from it. (Kind of like how book launches used to be a thing but aren't anymore). Fortunately, my last book was about beer history and when you offer people free beer at your presentation/signings...they show up! :) (But yeah, still about 50% of who actually sign up)

Reply to The simple greatness of Agatha Christie by -something_something
I finally read her books during the pandemic. I'm still finishing the Poirot mysteries. I absolutely love them! I've learned more about British social classes back then (with the servants and all) than ever before. It's really interesting to me!
