For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

I've always loved the way ersatz looks and sounds.
I've seen ersatz plenty of times before and have never looked it up and I have to say I was surprised when I read the definition. I love the title of the book you found it in. Thanks for participating!
Oh now that is funny! Ersatz is definitely practiced in my home!
Ha. That is funny. I love the context.
It sounds like a German word but I don't think it is.
That's a new one for me. I've seen the word but never new what it meant. Good one.
You're doing well if you only found one word! :--)
I agree...this is a word I've heard before, but never knew what it meant. Thanks so much for sharing!
I have never heard of this word. I do like the way it looks.
