Hijacking but typos: good grief!

I just started a new book yesterday ‘Exotic Vetting’ by a very experienced wildlife vet.

It’s very funny, but in the first 3 chapters we’ve had calm spelt ‘clm’ and ‘Lancôme should have an accent on the o’ dropped into the middle of the text.

How do you leave an editing note in the text of a published book?!

As a health care worker during the early days of the pandemic I read Lord of the Rings 5 times in a row straight through.

It was comforting and better than other coping strategies I could have used like alcohol.

So many! A couple of poetry collections, Norman MacCaig and Maya Angelou. A short story collection by Shirley Jackson. Tolkien’s collected notes/WIP in The History Of Middle Earth (12 volumes.)

Todd McCaffrey can go duck himself. So can Brian Herbert.

Christopher Tolkien, on the other hand is an angel of god.
