Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon, but is it possible to retitle this ongoing thread, pretty please? Mother’s Day in both the US and the UK is long gone now. I’m pretty sure that in the UK (where I am) it is in March anyway – so even more out of date.
I fully support the idea of not reposting books every week. But if I was looking for something to read I wouldn’t pursue a link that was for a specific event and as out of date as this.
BTW – to say that Moms can’t handle e-books is a bit Momist. I am old enough to be a granny, and I can handle a Kindle perfectly well, thank you. I am, indeed, technically competent to edit, format and publish my own books. I read whichever format is most convenient, not which is more modern.
Thanks for the feedback.
