Ebook or Book

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Ebooks….. They are killing my sales of my new books…. Have not sold one of Waiting For Agnes sense the ebook went up… I myself want to hold a book not a small black box that looks like a card only a little thicker.. For one thing, the print is to small for me to read. I don’t feel old enough to have to be read to… there is that in between  when my Mom read to me and when I am as old as Mom and can’t see that it makes sense to have someone read to me again.  I can’t do it in the car as I am driving.. it would be like talking on the phone while not holding the phone, I have to concentrate… When I talk on the phone in the car … I am not the driver.

You have to be careful with Ebooks will take all the sales away from other books… Also isn’t an ebook less expensive so you are taking money out of authors pocket. In my case its the author and seller…. I do not know that much about ebooks just know I have not had a sale in the several weeks I have know that this book is one…. Thank goodness some of the older books people read are not one yet…

This is my personal opinion no one elses… so form your own opioion.

you can find Waiting for Agnes the book autographed at www.readerwave.ecrater.com www.readerwave.com www.ebay.com www.amazon.com

Whats up

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Its Monday nothing I started working on is working… Our new computer has a different program for pictures… I can’t seem to get what I want up here… Its Monday another problem for hubby to work on…. Thank God for him… He and I worked out a way for me to get my boxes of books out of the car… I could not reach the ones in the very front of car the furthest away form me… I mentioned a hoe and he found it… I would not let him help me… I did pretty good all by myself.. Took longer but I did not have a sore back when I finished… last night I did so he put meds on it and I slept good. That ice cold stuff you rub in really works… Thanks Mom for showing me that years ago…

I have not sold one Waiting for Agnes in two weeks I don’t know what’s up with that… I have people looking but not buying… I was doing so well for so long…. you can check it out on a post a few weeks ago…..

Have a great week see you tomorrow.

One Week

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Woke up laying in bed thinking oh I should of got up sooner and gone to the Flee Market. I did a good job yesterday.. I guess you should not second guess yourself… I got up and walked out to the kitchen and looked outside it was raining…. No wonder my back is giving me a problem… Or maybe it was the boxes I lifted yesterday… I was lucky to find someone to scoot the books all the way back in the car for me…   In the morning when I got to the Flee Market the tables were fixed crazy like someone had two booths the week before.. the tables are heavy to move so a man was there shopping and he helped me… Then I got him to back my car in the spot for me… That was so nice… I know that people who sell there will do it but they weren’t there yet.. so it was nice to find someone to help….Every box needs a fill up.. That means I sold something out of these boxes…Everything is still in the car so when I get the boxes out to store them I will fill them so they are ready for next week…

If you are looking for a certain book and wanted it held for you I will but you must buy what is held.. You can tell me you want something and if I have it will bring but if you are not sure if you want to buy will put in box’s and you take your chances….

Remember we are taking trade ins now… Nothing older than the 90′s  All the western we can get… all in good sellable shape.  When you buy a book it cost $1.00  or $.50 and a book… 

If I can make a go of this from week to week I will rent more space and bring more books … Sense I can lift so many this would give a young person a part time job..as my helper so its a win wins all the way around.

Now don’t for get I still have books at three locations online  www.readerwave.ecrater.com www.readerwave.com www.ebay.com www.amazon.com   This is three places and four addresses   www.readerwave.com  brings you too my store,eBay, blog, and my shot glass store.

Its so nice to get out with the people again… Hope to see you this coming week tell your friends…

Surgery

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Went to doctors today with Hubby to see if he would have Surgery, we kinda knew that he would. Found out that is doctor is very nice, kind and looked him over real good.. He went because he had a hernia. We found out he has two. Being that he has stints in is lower chest and his leg he is on plavix to keep is blood from clotting.. Well to have surgery you have to be off the meds for 10 days to let things get back to normal so he won’t bleed to death.. So surgery is the 22nd of September…Our luck.. and we are laughing as we have our 18th ann.. on the 21st.. He told me today that he had planned to take me to Tallahassee to a great restaurant that we were at there this year… Has the best steaks.. I told him well just make it October 21st instead… So that is our plan…

I got a call yesterday from the frame shop here in town my gift to him is ready.. I took copys of “Wonderful Man” blog and had them frame it.. Will take pictures when I give to him.. I am really excited… First time in years I have come up with a gift with out someone else helping me… He is so hard to pick for.. He gets what ever he wants when he finelly decides what he wants… I did not have this gift in mind when I wrote it.. It just grew from there…

Do You Know

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Do you know how hard it is to open email or your blog to find no one had wrote you…. It gets harder and harder every day.  And I know some of its me.. I don’t like getting all those stories and jokes… I want someone to just say hello… I am just as guilty as the next person… I don’t send hardly and of the junk.  But I don’t send many notes either..  I have naglected my blog something terrible lately… I have had nothing worth writing about.. People do not want to hear of your problems.. They want to hear happiness..  I had some happiness yesterday I had two customers for my book store… Thanks to them… And four lookers from three different countries… Thanks to them…

Thanks to my husband for feeling well enough to go out with me yesterday… He is having surgery this month or next.. I hope its this month, so we can get it over with… He is such a good man that he deserves to be in a better place with his health.

I would love to be able to travel even over night and not worry about my mother… She lives with us and is going blind… And she has a new pacemaker.  I would love for her to be able to take care of herself and not worry about her.. but i can’t … So even if  we could we don’t go anywhere… She still does her own laundry.. makes her bed.. takes care of her med’s.. I guess what I fear is her falling.. and no one here to get her up… She does not use the microwave anymore as its hard for her to see.. so she eats cold meals… if we are not here.. That is not good… So we try to be gone only at lunch time…. and make sure she has left overs or sandwich fixings.  The holidays are coming and would love to go to visit children.. but that would be a few days sense some of them are in SF and we are in NF.  She was telling me yesterday that she is feeling very good lately… That’s good… So I am stuck… I want to place her but what do  I tell her… What do I do to make her feel that she is not being places because she is not love… We just want our freedom… Something she gave away most of her life…. I am not her … I do not want to feel I have to because she is my mother… I have done that for 8 yrs… I have given her a good home and then when we moved here she came with us into our home… But she was well enough we could go off and leave her… Now my husband is getting older and I want to chance to do things on the spur of the moment to get up and call over to where Mom is and say we are going today will call when we get home…   Am I being such a terrible person… We might not go much of anywhere… My husband has sent 20 yrs in service and has been so many places..Well I would like to see those places I never have…. Now his health is declining.. and he does not want to go more than a day away… wants to sleep in his own bed…  I think if we could get a mobile home and put a mattress in it like we have at home he would be somewhat happy… I would love to go from camp ground to camp ground across the United States… from here to Alaska… that way we could travel when we wanted and stop when we want… eat what we want … stay as long as we want in some places and not in others…I would love for our friends to go with us.. But its hard going with others as they might want to stop and start as many times as we do… Well anyways this is all a pipe dream… We will never get to do this.  Because of Mother and Husband.. I will go to my daughters this coming year.. I will fly by myself and go for a week or two… Leave the two of them here to take care of themselves…I have to or I will go crazy…

This little blog has taken on a life of its own…. I will be at the flee market this weekend…. come see me  mention getting free Harlequin after a purchase of $4.oo  That’s 6 books….

Come visit my online store ,you can find books new and used, audio books, large print books, Cd’s, movies, shot glasses   just take a look….www.readerwave.ecrater.com   www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com   Then I have Waiting for Agnes  a new autographed book at ecrter as well as www.ebay.com and www.amazon.com  three places three different prices as each place charges different … ecrater is the least amount of money…

Have a great rest of the holdiay weekend..

Journey Early

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Wow talk about bringing back memories.. The Early Show, this morning had the Band Journey on this morning.. They were big in the 80′s.  My children were listening to them in high school…Through them I knew allot of the songs they were singing.. They found there lead singer (not Steve Perry) on UTube.. imagine that.

I called both my children this morning at 8am.. One did not answer the phone and she is the one who like them the most.  Other one was awake but not up so we talk a couple of minutes.. And she was truing on TV as its in her bedroom… I don’t have one in bedroom for good reason..Time to sleep…

Anyways they were good… really enjoyed it
