The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Great list as always!
Thanks, Alex!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links. The one I noticed first was the one about Book-Tok. I’ve been hearing a lot about that, and it sounds like a social media outlet I might consider. But for me, it’s always difficult to balance that with not letting social media take over too much. Still, it sounds intriguing…
I think you’d do well on Tik-Tok! I’ve decided against it, though. I’m not a natural on video and I don’t think many of my readers are there. It’s always tough to weigh what direction to go in!
Another great list, Elizabeth. Thank you for providing all of us with these helpful posts.
Thanks, Gwen!
Super links, Elizabeth.
Thanks for coming by, John!
Thanks for a great list, Elizabeth! I find such great information through this.
Hope you have a great week, Rose!
Many thanks for the links and for including mine among them, Elizabeth!
Great post, Mae!
Another wonderful list. Thanks, Elizabeth!
Thanks to you, Staci!
Thanks for another great list of links and for your work in compiling this each week.
Another fine compilation, Elizabeth.
Thank you, Beem!
