Reading your description of the Boltfort left me daydreaming of riding the elevator and walking in the halls. I felt the love and comfort in the conversations between David, his father and grandfather. Looking forward to reading this story again.
This is a well written poem Drew. At twenty one I felt like I was on top of the world. In retrospect I realize that I was still a child at twenty one. I hit my stride at thirty, so I'm wondering what you will say in your poem for your thirtieth birthday. ❤️
This is a great story full of fun, adventure and good friends. I'm not the only one to think it is an awesome tale. Just look at the number of recommends and reviews it has been given.
Cia is an author and site administrator here. Many of the books Cia has written have short chapters of less than 1000 words. Since Cia sometimes edits or betas other authors, my comment was an observation (with a vague reference) to the length of chapters in this story. The comment was not intended to criticize the length of the chapters. I really liked Plattenbau and am now getting into this story. Looking forward to the next chapter.😄
This is my third time around for The Second Time Around. I have a laugh fest each time I read this story. Sexy, smoldering romance between Chris and Dave, and Debbie a wise and witty boss combine with endearing friends and quirky customers in a dive into the world of memorabilia and collectables. I recommend you brighten your day with this amazing sequel to Thrift Shop Nation!
Next Christmas I'm writing a letter to Santa requesting that a certain author add to the Thrift Shop Nation and Amsterdam Tales! You cracked me up whenever Chris did his impersonations. I so want to work for Debbie in her shop. The scenes with both Mr. and Mrs. Karticker were so delightfully fun. Thanks, Geron!
Interesting use of short chapters to tell the story. Have you been taking lessons from Cia? Ludwig's confession followed by his chilling words and actions was just plain stupid. He needs to protect Caden and gain his trust. Now Caden is panicked and determined to protect himself. If Ludwig had used his brain, he could have Caden's blood and maybe a side of lust to boot. Instead, he got a boot to the nuts. Ouch!
I enjoyed the positive view of life and change you expressed in this poem. It is an energetic and encouraging exhortation to appreciate today while looking forward to tomorrow.
Taming my hidden wolf was not an easy task, but worth the effort. The wolf in my life is ADHD. It took over 5 years to tame it, accept it as a part of me, and finally acknowledge the great value it has added to my life. Your poem beautifully described the problems I experienced before I came to terms with my wolf. Well done!
If they ever let you in Thailand, be sure to come for Songkran. I'll use this with ice cold water to cool you off after you see all the hot Thai guys cruising the streets in wet clothing as they play.
Songkran starts this Thursday and ends officially on Sunday.
Happy Birthday Drew! ❤️

I found the site, and must say the Ethan, the host is hot! I watched one video and did a scan of most of his videos of Thailand. Unfortunately, I didn't find the video with elephants.
What a fun poem that had me laughing. When I was old enough to have those dreams, I had stopped writing Santa years before. Did the letter work for you?
