My book : What does it mean to be black sheep?

Having a problem to fit in, I was searching for solutions. So, I wrote a self-help book about different level of rebellion.  Whatever you believe,  you can live if you don't accept conformism. Feeling that you don't fit in? Everyone turns back to you? You are blamed for everything? You are a black sheep and accept your label. Check out my book in Amazon. Short stories about rebels. The review :  Ever felt like you don’t fit in? Don’t worry, help is at hand. This great self-help book by Kristina Gallo is all about being not fitting in and feeling like the “black sheep.” Kristina teaches us that you don’t have to change yourself to fit certain situations and people. When we do this, we start to lose a sense of our true self. Fitting in can feel like the easier option, but does it challenge us to do new things and grow as people? I recommend reading this book if you’ve ever felt like the black sheep in your family or place of work. There’s a great chapter on how to build self-conf

How do reading books raise your mood?

How do reading bo oks raise your mood? Accord my experience, reading can affect you in various situations. When I am angry, books will make me calm. When I am sad, books will lift me up. When I am nervous, books will change my focus. Diving into a world of imaginary characters is useful for a person. If you want to relax from daily obligations, try to read. When I am reading, it is like I am moving in the movie scene.  I can see characters in front of my eyes and the plot will cause various reactions. Adrenaline, fast heartbeats, sorrow, even hate. How could a negative character in this book be so selfish? How could they be so cruel? When you are reading, you are not disturbing anyone, and you prevent yourself from others disturbing you. Is there a better excuse to get rid of annoying strangers than show a book or e-book? I remember days, when nobody support my side and previous friends turned me back. Swimming in the waters of depression, I had only books to cheer me up. While I was r

How to recognize fake supporters?

  I have a long TBR list. I made it by myself, nobody pushed me, even some people tried :) The point is, I support some people.  I support books I like, these deserve my attention. If I don't like a book, I will not review it. Recently I saw Goodreads deleted my 10 ratings. Even though I don't prefer Goodreads, I support this decision because ratings come from people who did not read my books. That leads me to the question: Why do some people rate books automatically, even if they did not read them? Do you think you are helping authors? No, you are spamming. I saw three profiles on Goodreads who did it around. My 12 books got a 5-star rating without explanation.  I feel the same as they got 1 star. Because I click on these profiles, I saw they rated over a thousand books with 5 stars, again, without explanations. I understand not everyone is a book lover. Some people want to seek attention, claiming they are reading books. They want to be present in the author's world.  If

7 types of readers you might face it

Booklovers are people who love to spend their time reading books. It is great to spread your view and knowledge by reading, you can travel to places you never been and find out things you never supposed to exist. As an indie author, I am looking for my readers, I am willing to spread my circle, but people are of various kinds. Not every reader is suitable for every author. Accord my experience, here are 7 types of readers: Fake reader . He will give you a review, but he is not indeed interested to read your books. He just wishes to do a favor but your book is not his choice. Santa Claus reader. This is a person who will take your free book, promise a review, and then vanish. You will never get your review, and this reader is real as Santa Claus. Picky reader. This is an honest person who will immediately say "I am not interested" or "I will read your book. You can get reviews very fast from this reader, he knows what he wishes. Reciprocate reader. This is a person who
