Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green
The book synopsis:

Without question, Fawn Birchill knows that her used bookstore is the heart of West Philadelphia, a cornerstone of culture for a community that, for the past twenty years, has found the quirkiness absolutely charming. When an amicable young indie bookseller invades her block, Fawn is convinced that his cushy couches, impressive selection, coffee bar, and knowledgeable staff are a neighborhood blight. Misguided yet blindly resilient, Fawn readies for battle.

But as she wages her war, Fawn is forced to reflect on a few unavoidable truths: the tribulations of online dating, a strained relationship with her family, and a devoted if not always law-abiding intern—not to mention what to do about a pen pal with whom she hasn’t been entirely honest and the litany of repairs her aging store requires.

Through emails, journal entries, combative online reviews, texts, and tweets, Fawn plans her next move. Now it’s time for her to dig deep and use every trick at her disposal if she’s to reclaim her beloved business—and her life.

Quotes from the book:


You are either a detective or a skilled peruser, or you are spinning me quite a yarn. I give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you love perusing and so came upon it by happy accident. Sometimes that is how the greatest books are found.


After watching him eat that soup all night, he really expects me to kiss him? The dribbling, Florence! The front of his shirt was sodden in vegetable broth before the main course had even arrived.


The truth of it is that most people who come in are quite satisfied, but generally speaking, happy people don’t leave reviews. So we hear the negativity far more frequently.


Sometimes the hardest thing is the right thing.


They say times are changing, and I see it myself: everyone in Philadelphia has an electronic reading device like a Kindle or an iPad, it seems. But I think there are still people out there who want to hold on to the printed page like a newborn baby or a small animal—gently, lovingly, and viscerally. And even though I see a resurgence in people’s interest in books and the independent bookstore (thank god!), my store, it seems, is left behind.


I won’t be young forever—I’m already going rather grey, even though I dye. And sometimes when I see myself in the mirror, I realize with horror that my feet have a natural splay to them, almost like that of Daffy Duck. I can only imagine how ridiculous I appear when I walk.


Black Friday is a mandatory, all-hands-on-deck day. Come to me if you have an issue with this, but unless you are bleeding from your neck or any necessary appendage, you are REQUIRED to show.


The thing about computers is that they are presumptuous machines and show neither patience nor adaptability based on the user’s level of comprehension. Although I understand they are insentient machines, this still infuriates me, as I am forced to write to my dear employees for help the night before Thanksgiving when most of you are no doubt hitting the booze. I, too, am minutes away from that myself—not because of relaxation, but because I can’t handle this project sober for another minute.


When it comes to literature, I find that it’s less about the books themselves and more the moments we take in the day to read the books.


Book Review Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green


Luckily it was an open bar, and most everyone was too drunk to notice me sneaking the mini sandwiches into my overnight bag. The olive array was, by far, my favorite—though they are rather difficult to sneak into anything but one’s mouth!


Christmas is a strange holiday for families that don’t get along. We dislike each other for 364 days out of the year and then childishly expect a single day of gift giving to wash all the bad blood away.


P.S. I’m sorry. I meant nothing by it. I was mostly referring to the ridiculousness of monthly bleeding. I’m not sure how well that worked out for us in our caveman days as we traipsed across the African savanna smelling like blood to any lions or leopards nearby. We must have been as enticing as a street-taco truck to a college kid. On the other hand, perhaps the fact that women survived that is indeed a testament to how strong we are!


In addition, my claw-foot has been leaking black water onto my fiction section for some time. I realized this when I went down to get Jane Austen’s Emma and found that she was covered in black mold. She, Louisa May Alcott, and Hans Christian Andersen were just wet with sludgy decay. How long they have been enduring these harsh conditions I’ll never know.


On days such as Christmas I wish I had children of my own, though it is a passing fancy. I have neither the patience nor the necessary hip width to bear motherhood.


Januarys are hard. The only thing worse than January is February, and the only thing worse than either is attempting to get through them sober.


I think the new person I hired is a bit slow. Either that or he doesn’t know what to think of me. Sometimes when I speak to him, his eyes become very wide and he just nods as if what I am saying to him is the word of God. As long as he does what he is told, I don’t really care what he thinks of me. I am finished trying to be friends with my employees.


Being alone isn’t bad unless you don’t want to be alone, and I don’t. I don’t think she did either. And that is why I sat there and wept.


It’s funny how, when people die, you think about all the things you didn’t get to talk about. Not necessarily what you never said—that’s something entirely different—but rather what conversations you never had.

Book Cover Between Two Thieves by Solomon Carter

The book synopsis:

The thrilling new page-turning mystery from Solomon Carter.

A HERO IS MISSING. A BODY IS FOUND ON THE BEACH. AND A FORMER FRIEND BEGS DETECTIVE EVA ROBERTS TO SAVE HER LIFE…

PI Eva Roberts is hired by former school friend Lauren Jaeger. Lauren’s cruel partner refuses to let her leave him but he will certainly kill her if she stays.

When a second body is found on the beach Lauren’s domestic case soon feels like a distraction... And what starts as a day of rest turns into nothing less than the beginning of a nightmare.

Carl Renton was a good man, and a true hero.

Norman Peters was a market trader and a colourful rogue.

Their murders appear to have nothing in common. But the truth goes deep into the heart of a crimewave which is tearing the town apart.

The private detectives must track down a killer… but Eva’s case takes a dark twist at the worst possible time.

Eva must forgive - even if she can never forget.

And the detectives must find the seaside killer before more blood is spilled on the beach.

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Helen Durrant, Janice Frost, Joy Ellis and LJ Ross. If you love to read gripping thrillers with flawed characters, a touch of humour and a hint of romance, you’ll love Between Two Thieves.

If you enjoy page-turning crime mystery novels, noir crime thrillers, heist crime thrillers, British crime thrillers and detective series with strong female characters - then Between Two Thieves is for you.


Between Two Thieves is the first book in Between Two Thieves Private Investigator Crime Thriller series

Discussing Between Two Thieves by Solomon Carter





Quotes from the book:


He had never been considered cool, nor did he desire to be. He knew people thought he was strange, but then being strange was his calling and he knew it. Being different was what made him do what he did


Those who knew Eva only by her work often thought she was a little too serious for someone of her beauty and intelligence.


“Well, at least some people still believe in returning other people’s belongings. For a moment I thought you’d managed to find yourself a new set of strange friends. My son is a collector much like I am,” said the man with a smile. “Except where I tend to collect precious items, my son tends to collect people.”


“He’s a young man and I don’t think Georgie’s influence on my son is altogether negative. I even hope she might even motivate him towards aiming for something, or at least pulling himself out of his doldrums. Love can do that for a man, don’t you know. In the beginning at least.”


Someone else’s misfortune meant their happiness. But it was the way of the world. One man’s manure fertilised another one’s roses.


Joanne acted like she didn’t notice. Either that or she was playing dumb. Mark guessed all women had to do that to some degree. Like every man was a potential sex pest in waiting.


“He said it at every interview. He meant it too, like. It’s like he had a death wish.” “A life wish,” corrected Colin. “Carl wants to save lives.” “By risking his own? Now that is the dumbest thing I ever heard,” said Eddie.


Book Review Between Two Thieves by Solomon Carter


The policeman didn’t have much in the way of charm, but he made up for it in decibels. The crowd started to shrink as he waved his hands at them like a farmhand with a flock of sheep.


“What?” said Dan. “You think I have no tact or diplomacy?” “I’m saying they’re not your best skills.”


He used to keep these little tiny scraps of paper in that tin. He’d written Bible passages on each one. He told me that he used to give them out to people in the street. People who looked like they were having a bad day. They were all handwritten things. Just a couple of lines a piece, all folded in half. I thought that was sweet of him. Like he had a little box full of good wishes for people in need.


“And we didn’t hear it? The earth really must have been moving.” “Don’t flatter yourself,” said Eva. “My phone is on silent.” Eva turned away for the door.


“Never look at a mirror too long, Lauren. That’s my tip for success and happiness.”


“He didn’t just say the words, Eva. He meant it. Every single word. After two years in paradise I ended up living with the man from hell, and how I endured it, I just don’t know. But seriously, I can’t take it anymore. I want out, but Jamie’s smart and he’s dangerous. I’m frightened of what he might do if I went to the police or the women’s refuge. Eva… I’ve thought about this for so long, but I just can’t see a way out. I even thought about killing myself – that’s how bad it got.


“This conversation is over,” said the man. Hot, rancid, smoker’s breath poured over Dan’s face and made him blink in disgust. He screwed up his nose and shoved the guy stumbling back onto the steps.


“Inspector Hogarth? This is Eva Roberts. Brace yourself, Inspector. I think we’ve found another one for your to-do list…”


Eva looked at Dan. “Since when does risk put villains off from making their money.”


As soon as they made a move they would be exposed on all sides. But there was no decision to be made. It was happening. Dan broke into a gentle run, keeping his pace fast and his footsteps soft, opting to land in the clumps of grass wherever he could. Eva followed close behind. Dan paused for a moment and looked at the sky. He listened.


“Do you think that was wise?” “Times like these I don’t always feel like being wise,” said Eva.


“I’m getting it wrong, eh? So how’s your case with Aaron Clancy going? Because the way I hear it, you haven’t found any of his missing loot, either. The thing is, Miss Roberts, we all get it wrong – until the moment we get it right.”


“I told you,” said Eva, calmly. “We never give up. That’s how we earned that solid reputation you mentioned.”


“Then we’d better stay unseen until we start. They won’t forget your face too easy,” said Dan. “I’ll take that as a compliment,” said Eva.


“I see you’ve been looking after them for me,” he said. “I’m sure all injuries there were only caused in self-defence.” “They beat each other senseless,” said Dan. “I’m not a thug, Inspector,” “I’ll take your word for it,” said Hogarth.


The hard facts of life and routine eventually stripped all illusions away until a lover saw the other person as they really were. Sometimes a man would still love that person all the more. And sometimes, he would only see the absence of what he had thought they were, left with something else in its place.


“Consequences,” he said. Blane pushed her back and shut the door behind him. The steam from the shower had filled the room like a cloud trying to blot out what was to about to take place.


“Rules are to be followed if they are helpful. But right now we need to take a more flexible approach. Come on. Let’s get this over with before I change my mind.”

Thought-provoking quotes about libraries and librarians

I've always loved libraries. Even as a young girl I'd feel excited walking into my local library. All those books waiting on the shelves to be discovered.


When I became a parent I made sure to take my kids to the local library and sign them up for their own library cards. I still remember the looks on their faces when I said they could check out any books they wanted. Their eyes went wide and then they gazed at all the shelves packed with books. That right there is magic! 


Back in pre-COVID days they would take part in the library events too. My eldest even did a reading once to the kids group. They got presented with certificates in the summer for having participated in various events run by the library throughout the year.

A library is in fact much more than just books. It's a community. Hopefully the days of wandering along the shelves deciding which book to check out next will return soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd put together a collection of quotes to spread some love for libraries and librarians.

Ways To Improve Your Blog DA Score


Ways To Improve Your Blog DA Score

How to Boost Domain Authority


This post may contain affiliate links. Meaning, I get a commission if you purchase through my links, at no cost to you. Read the full disclosure here.


What is Domain Authority?


Domain authority (DA) refers to the number of relevant links to your website from other reputable sites. The relevance of those backlinks also contributes to your score.

Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). A Domain Authority score ranges from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater ability to rank. - Moz


How to check your DA Score


You can check your DA score (and that of other sites if you want to see how your site compares to your competition) by using the free tools at https://moz.com/free-seo-tools.


What is a Good Domain Authority Score? 


Domain authority scores range from one to 100. When you have a higher domain authority score, it’s more likely you’ll see increases in web traffic and Search Engine Result Pages (SERP) rankings. 

When you create a new website, its domain authority is one. It gets harder to increase your DA as your score gets higher so it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow from 70 to 80.

As a book blogger a DA score of 30 can be considered good.

How Can You Raise Your Domain Authority Score? 


So what can you do to increase the DA score for your blog? 

The good news is that there's actually a few things you can do to raise your DA.


1. Write quality content. 

You want to give other sites a reason to link to yours. Work to provide better information on your niche than your competitors do. 

The quality of the content you share is the biggest ranking factor of all for both on-page and off-page SEO. So if you improve the overall SEO of your blog, your DA score should also improve. 

  • Optimise titles and Descriptions 
  • Use Headings (H1 and H2) within your content 
  • URL structure and SEO optimise permalinks
  • Optimise your images, videos, and other media elements 
  • Use keywords naturally in your content (no keyword stuffing) 
  • Add internal links to your content 
  • Format your content in a way that increases your chances of ranking in Google’s featured snippets
  • The faster your site loads, the lower the bounce rate. If your site is fast, you have a better chance of ranking on Google over slow sites that drive high bounce rates.
  • Make sure your site is mobile friendly. The best way to start is to go to Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test and run the test for your domain. Google will give you a nice report with recommendations on how to make your website mobile ready.

As you grow your reputation as an authority in your niche, you’ll strengthen the identity of your brand. This not only helps increase traffic but also increases the number of external links you earn from other high-quality sources.

The more content you create regularly, the more likely you are to rank.


2. Get quality backlinks

The better your backlinks are, the better your chances are at increasing your blog DA. Domain authority is determined on a logarithmic scale. This means each singular metric won’t always increase or decrease the score to the same degree. The more important a metric is, the greater effect it’s likely to have.

The more sites with higher DA scores that link to your blog the better it is for your own DA score. 

So how do you get people to include a backlink to your site on theirs?

  • Guest posting. Being a guest on other sites helps get your name and site out there. Usually when you provide a guest post for a site they will include a backlink to your site in the post. 
  • Blogger outreach. Contact bloggers or websites running weekly or monthly roundups. Contact them with a link to one of your blog posts. If they think it's a useful resource they might include in in their next round up post. 
  • Write testimonials. As long as it's an honest review, in that you use their site/products, giving a testimonial can be a great way to be featured on someones site. There is a high possibility that they will include a backlink along with the testimonial when they post it to their site. 
  • Get interviewed. Look for websites that do interview features and tell them that you would like to participate. Let them know what knowledge you can contribute. 
  • Web directories. Submit your site url to web directories.
  • Find broken links. You can check the broken backlinks of sites in your niche, notify them, and offer them a link to relevant content from your site that would make a good alternative. 

Raising your DA is a long-term process so you'll need to be patient. It usually takes a few weeks before you'll see any change in your ranking.
