I haven't seen this level of negging in any of the other examples people have shared—usually it's more like "how does this book have so few Amazon reviews?! Let me fix that." I'm guessing "too positive=AI scam" has made its way into the loop and they've adjusted too far the other way.

This one's been blowing up lately—they either want you to pay for the privilege of speaking to their book club or, more likely, ask you to "tip" their members for their "honest" reviews of your book.

Sandrock has some major quality-of-life upgrades, though I think I like Portia's story just a little better. I'm looking forward to seeing what Evershine brings to the table!

The first alpha build for a game I backed (My Time at Evershine) dropped this morning, so that's my weekend sorted.

@victoriastrauss.com just posted a good article about this - it sounds like there's usually a request to "tip" reviewers or otherwise pay for (non-existent) marketing services.

I've been on vacation away from all my gaming devices, but I'm looking forward to diving back into my latest Coral Island playthrough when I get home.

Coral Island is my current favorite farm sim. It's essentially: what if Stardew was set in pseudo-Indonesia, and the mermaids are a full society rather than a background prop.

I still recall in the early days hearing about someone requesting MapQuest directions between two towns In Maine and being routed through Florida.

A game I otherwise love (My Time at Sandrock) annoyed me greatly when it "scolded" me for trying to name my character Cassandra.

In college our fraternity treasurer kept joking about embezzling everything to buy a pony. On April 1, the horse trailer pulled into our parking lot. They'd made arrangements with a friend who had an actual pony to bring it by for a visit.

My local cross-stitch store, www.acornsandthreads.com ! They have an amazing selection of charts and supplies, and if I need something for a project that they don't normally carry, they can order it for me.

I've stopped folding (most) clothes. Jeans get hung on clip hangers by the waistband. T-shirts go on regular hangers. I have 2 dozen pairs of identical socks that get stacked in the drawer. So much less time/stress around laundry! I only fold things going into suitcases or out-of-season storage.

The Leverage series finale was an absolute masterpiece, from the twists and reveals to the way the final scene was a callback to the very beginning of the series.

I finished making a stuffed dragon and used the scraps to make a matching quilt block! There will eventually be 12 of these, one for each month (this is the 5th I've finished), with the quilt blocks getting turned into a lap quilt.

Saturday night and this morning, I cut and pieced the scraps from my ice dragon into a matching snowflake quilt block. I've made a 12-inch block with the scraps from each dragon, and when I've done all 12 I'll assemble them into a lap quilt.

I once ordered a "new" book for my nephew. It arrived shrink wrapped, which the other book (same series) I was giving him wasn't, so I unwrapped it—thankfully. I don't think the Goldfish crumbs ground into nearly every page came from the printing house.

My mother's quilt guild is doing a virtual quilt retreat this weekend, so I'll be Zooming in to that and working on a quilt that's finally approaching done after 7+ years of occasional dabbling.
