I’m planning to change the way I use social media. I’ve tried several platforms and have my favourites. But the big thing I learnt is you can have too many. Keeping up with them all takes me away from the important things and that’s getting my books back up. So I am going to stick… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Social Media

Karen’s Chat – Does Your Book Slump In The Middle?
It’s a question for readers - I’m just beginning to recognise this phenomenon. It’s happened right now with the book I’m currently reading. I can be reading a good story, but at a certain point, find myself looking at the page count wondering how long I have left to read. It can even be at… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Does Your Book Slump In The Middle?
Karen’s Chat on Changing Book Sizes
Recently, I read two articles about books sizes. It was already something I had been thinking about. Was it just me changing my reading habits or had it always been this way? I receive a newsletter from Dave at Kindlepreneur who encouraged readers to share this information: There's been a dramatic change in book length… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Changing Book Sizes
Karen’s Chat about Routines
The inspiration for this came from a post by Beth Olivier, who talked about her morning routine. I’d also had a previous conversation with my son who said, ‘If I want a brew in the evening, I just go and get it. Yet you look at the clock first.’ That made me chuckle because he… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Routines
Karen’s Chat on Favourite Things
I was asked recently which book is my favourite from those I’ve written. As I thought about it, I realised it’s always the one I’m working on. At this moment in time I’m working on the final edits of Play the Game, which I hope will be out by the time you read this. It… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Favourite Things
Karen’s Chat on a Buying Expensive Books
I’ve been reading the Cormoran Strike books by Robert Galbraith. Having watched and enjoyed the Tv series staring Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, I wanted more. For Christmas in 2022, I was bought the paperback of the first book, The Cuckoo Calling. At over 500 pages it was too difficult to hold. The Kindle copy was £4.10,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on a Buying Expensive Books
Karen’s Chat about Magic Pictures
I’m usually an ebook reader, but will sometimes read a paperback. This was the sometimes and the book is a hardback. I didn’t want to read it on my Kindle as it’s almost a 1000 long. Too big for a paperback, and being solid makes its sturdy to rest on my lap on top of… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Magic Pictures
Karen’s Chat on Free Thought
I took a break from Facebook during Christmas. It was nice to not endlessly scroll and feel the need to like and comment all the time. It’s a constant information overload knowing what everyone else is doing all the time, and in a way getting involved in their lives. When I returned to social media,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Free Thought
Karen’s Chat about Imagination
I am an eclectic person. If I see something and it catches my imagination, I want to do it. Since I retired, it’s become more noticeably. My go to place was YouTube where I’d spend hours researching it. I then collected everything I needed and it gave me a lot of enjoyment to make what… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Imagination
Karen’s Chat on Book Recomendations
In November I gave two talks in my local community. It was to share the love I have for reading and books in general. They were well received and I hope to do more in the future. On each occasion I asked for book recommendations, both to share with the WI and the U3A, and… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Book Recomendations
