What to write.. Has been kinda easy all week… Only thing that has been.. I have been in a funk all week.. I don’t know what it is for sure… Could be missing grandchildren and their parents. Could be I am ready for a change in senery and can’t do it… Sales on store are ok… sold 6 books to 3 customers… so really only three sales….. And one after being a ok payment and sent to customer.. comes back as a hold… Now what online seller does not send their items as soon as the money is there… I am noted for next day service… Just another thing to worry about … Have never had this happen before…. I have had people who order and never pay… but never after 4 days the bank puts a hold on the money I alreay have and spent.. so to speak… If customer does not pay they have my book and I owe the author… As its one of my new autographed books.  I have been going to enter books and shot glasses all week and they just sit on my desk…

I have been doing a lot of thinking of the real book store I would love to have… Its a pipe dream…. Bookstores in our town don’t last… To many people here work in other bigger towns I am sure they go there for their books… That and Wal-Mart … I find pleantyof used… And I have done some good business at flee market as I am lower than the bookstore that is always there… But that is taking business away from someone else… and I know what that is like.. As my husband and family say its a good thing that I don’t have to make a living at this.   I have done real well selling one book over the time when the times have been hard… “Waiting for Agnes” by Joe Bullard great little book and its autographed… I am selling it in three locations on the Internet… Amazon, eBay and eCRATER.   Amazon and eBay I only sell one book.. My bookstore is on eCRATER at www.readerwave.ecrater.com  I have many kinds of books and lots of authors.. over 1200 books and 120 authors, then I have books in categories if I don’t have many of their books.. so if you don’t find under authors name look under romance, fantasy, adventure, religion etc, audio, large print… I also have other things like cups, Cd’s talking books, movies, Leap-Pad items.. I even have some that are just book or cartridge they are not listed.. But if you have something you need email me and I will look … readerwave@bellsouth.net  If I don’t have will look for it other places.. I had a email yesterday.. I looked on eBay for book and found it and told customer and they could order themselves cheaper than if I ordered it and had it sent to them…  used books sell from .55 to 2.00 depends on side and shape.. Harlequin sell for .55 or a little less..  Check it out you will be very happy to find the book you are looking for… Once in a while I feature other stores on my blog as well…. There is a store in Anchorage, Alaska that sells books on Alaska… There is another lady who I found who sells neat candles… You can find anything if you look…  If you have a favorite author and see that they are going to visit  the North Florida area let me know I love to meet all the different authors… I have gotten so really good reading and meant 12 new authors to me last month… As you might of seen over the last 8 months that I have had this blog I have a favorite author Debbie Macomber… Now if one of you is going to Cedar Cove Days.. email me some pictures… would love to go.. I was there to see Debbie about 8 yrs ago… what a nice little town…
