I learned a lot about where you hangout with authors and what you enjoy hearing from them! Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for information. The winner of the $10 gift card is announced below.

RESULTS
The most common platforms respondents used were Facebook and Instagram, with Twitter and Pinterest next, and Bookbub, Goodreads, and TikTok after them. A few indicated they follow authors on Snapchat, Amazon, YouTube, and Chirp.Â
Â
These results didn't surprise me, except maybe for how high Pinterest ranked, especially above Bookbub and Goodreads. I'll admit, I expected higher results for TikTok since there's so much buzz around it.Â
Â
I have profiles on most of the above, but I'm most active onÂ
I also received a lot of ideas on the things you enjoy from authors, including recipes, riddles, behind the scenes and personal life, pets, and a view from my window.
Â
Since it's a dreary day today, instead of a picture from my window, I thought I'd share my office. This last weekend, I moved things around to mix things up and create more space.
Â
You'll notice I like the beach and a certain color of green. If you look closely, you'll also see that I have a Happy Planner Addiction.
Below is the other side of my office, which has a daybed. You'll see similar colors and beach items. I have a Darcy quote pillow, too. Sometimes I write here. Other times I read. Occasionally, I nap.Â
