Just for the record, I, @revolutionaryheart, changed my username to  @-maktub- because, well, why not? (: It just suits me better at the moment and it reflects what my writing means to me. 
          
          Also, I wanna say thanks to all you people following me and reading my stories, I am so very pleased to see "The Pope's Daughter" and "Transhumans" receiving such great feedback! Both crossed 200 votes and it's not even been a month since I started writing them.Thank you all! Xx

Tried to post this about Latin America's penitentiary system but it's giving me error messages.

@revolutionaryheart true, guess that's why places like DisneyWorld draw crowds...they promise a canned experience and they deliver.

@AnnWrites Sorry for the late reply - life is busy, almost - but I love that you think of this quote and relates to me xD I always say I am not a tourist, I am an explorer. I'd hate to be a tourist. I like to go to places without planning and I love being surprised. Even because the difference between a tourist and a traveler is that the tourist worries about the destination, and the traveler enjoys everything from the start of the journey ;)))

            Well said! There's another quote that comes to mind when I think of you "The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see." I hope I can be the traveler and the tourist both, some day...just as you have been!

I just realised how well some of my books are doing. I am really very pleased with that. "The Pope's Daughter" has been on the Top 20 of the Historical Fiction ranking for a few days now, and it has passed 100 votes and it's almost on crossing 1k reads... "Transhumans" is also close to cross the 100 votes mark and it's been on the Sci-fi and Adventure rankings for the past days. My humble poetry collection was the first of my works to cross 1k reads and that's really awesome))
          
          Well... I want to say thank you to all my readers for this support. I honestly did not expect, since I started writing these books just the other day, but the feedback and comments have been making me smile a lot!)
          
          If you haven't read it yet, well, I guess you might enjoy it too! People seem to like it so... trust them)))

Today is reading day) I am currently reading  @AngusEcrivain 's "Pearl of the Stars", the first book, although I noticed he has just completed the second. And it is a wonderful read, so if you're into good sci-fi with strong female leaders and awesome space action... hint hint)) Also I would like to get to more books to read, as I will have an awful amount of spare time this week, so anyone who has good book suggestions, don't be shy, they'd would be greatly appreciated)))
