Joe Bullard’s Bolita Sam selling off the shelves

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I have not had so excitement sense the day I got married to Mr. West.  Paper on line (Lake City Journal)  put an article about Joe Bullards new book “Bolita Sam” and then mentioned that I sell it for him and I am at the Flea Market… my phone has been wringing off the hook.. I guess I will have to bring books with me to the Flea Market. On Saturday and Sunday. Will have to get more from Joe as I don’t want to mess up my inventory at home (these are for mail outs.). I have had over 60 lookers at the sight..That is so great. I am sorry that Amazon is not on with us… There is a glitch.. Maybe soon… But till then you can find Waiting for Agnes and Bolita Sam at my Flea Market Store in Lake City Fl  or on line at www.readerwave.ectater.com  www.ebay.com

First picture is of new book Bolita Sam  second picture is of author Joe Bullard at the Lake City Librray  telling what he could about the story and the third picture is Waiting for Agnes authors first book… still sells very well… you can order both books on line or at the local Flea Market this Saturday and Sunday. Depending on weather will be open fro 8 to 2… The flea market it self oven at 6:30 and closes at 3. Those hours are too long during the summer hot months. for me … Remember I am inside the green building.In my bookstore I sell and trade books… Used books… bring one book and .50 and trade for another of the used books.  Come out and see us. I am the lady rocking in the rocker

Journal and Sam

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

What a day I have had there was an article in the Lake City Journal on line… Mentioning author Joe Bullard and his older book Waiting for Agnes and his new just released book Bolita Sam.. At the bottom of the articlemy name and  number were mentioned as I am the book seller both on line and off now… was just on line. I have been taking phone calls and orders.. Most of the articles were for local people so I was canceling these orders and telling them to just pick the books up from me at m Flea Market store on Saturday or Sunday. I want to see if we can do a book signing there but must ask the powers that be.. and make arrangements…. Will keep you up to date…  All translations will be cash… $20.00 For those of you would want to buy on line as you are reading this in Alaska  go to www.readerwave.ecrater.com or www.ebay.com

Bolita Sam is now out

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Went to the signing of Joe Bullards newest book Bolita Sam there was quite a crowd.. For some reason he was not allowed to sell his book there last night. His wife took orders and payment and promised to have them delivered.. I have a copy here that I am going to use to take pictures for eBay and ecrater  and amazon. At the signing at the library he was asked to not say certain things about the story… Only made you want it more… As I said I will have it av able by the end of the day.

Last night I took some good drugs the doctor prescribed for me…. wanted to see how well I slept.. they are affecting my seeing this morning so they are still hanging on.will take another tonight and then in the morning before I go to doctor so I won’t be so nervous.

What a day had my first online order for Boliata Sam… and someone called me at home to make sure I would have it at the flea market.. Guess I will need some extra copys with me…

Kitchen Sink Not Here

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I sat here and just wrote a note to my fav author.. Debbie Macomber. It was not to tell her how much I enjoyed her latest book “Hannah’s List”.  Which I did…It was a complaint about not being able to make comments on her blog.. See I love making comments sometimes they are crazy and know one understands but me but they let you know that I read and liked or did not like your blog… I use to always make comments on her blog.. But for the past year I haven’t been able to use it and can’t get it figured out.I hope someone on her staff will get this figured out… Faster than FB does there problems… There are so many slow downs and not now things happening on FB that its a shame.. I guess the people who are not playing anymore need to clean out there farms and get off it might free up space for everyone else.

My online store is getting more things today.. I found some Leap Pad books and cartridges yesterday and took pictures. started to enter and the computer was so slow that I gave up… Today I want to do my junk box.. Come see these things in the next few days… Tell your friends..

Tonight I am going to see local author Joe Bullard introduce his newest book “Bolita Sam” at our local Lake City,Fl library.  I am the only seller of his books both “Waiting for Agnes” and his new one,”Bolita Sam”. I offer signed copies. I use to offer autographed and dated But that is hard to do when you want a date that is so close to when you bought it.. Some times I am out of town or he is so we need to keep lots of copies on hand and can’t always get together. So we decide to offer signed copies. There are people out there selling copies but they are used.. So watch what you buy. I think I would rather have a new one than a used one for the same price.  Some of the books sell for more than others as the company handling wants more money.. Amazon charges more handling fee than eBay or eCRATER.  I went up in price this year by $1.oo as the supplies went up. Thanks all 300 plus of you who have bought Agnes from over 20 countries… That is so hard for me to believe till I go back and look at the sales slips.. When I have “Bolita Sam” on line for sale I will email each and everyone of you to let you personally know ..If you have read Agnes please write a comment here and let us know what you thought of the book. Hubby just brought me the newspaper there is an article today about the signing tonight. I hope all the locals to LC will come out to hear him… and Meet the Author  his next book is about the Ruby McCollum Story..

If you find reading my blog a touchier sorry I don’t profess to be a great English Major.. I am very bad with grammar and spelling.. I try to fix what I can and hope you will get over your cringe real soon. I just write this blog for the love of saying what I think and feel and letting you know about my stores www.readerwave.com will take you to everything except www.amazon.com I have not put pictures up on here lately as something is wrong with this part.. Have not had time to get with daughter who fixes these things for me … you might know her as weatherangel on twitter.. She has a very demanding job, and she and her partner are the creators of Hurricane and Traveler’s Quest  Then there are my three lovely grandchildren who started school yesterday and you know them on facebook as Ginny and Elizabeth. Ginny is a senior this year. Lizzy will be next year.. (yes I did say three one is not on FB) Yet  As you can see I start on one subject and go on to many more with out a breath… LOL…One of my grandsons just joined FB and asked me to be on with him.. I was quite honored… Grandma Dona as these boys call me… Loves them very much.. I want to go south for birthdays but the closing of my book store is around the same time so will go the week after.. And this will be the first time in a long time that we will be around for Ginny’s She turns 18 this year… Wow where did the time go.. I have a picture I have been looking for to put a then and now… I just have not found it.. has to be in boxes in garage… I will get to it before the year is over. I promise…Oh I mentioned the closing of book store don’t get excited.. We will close every year for a month while the fair is in town .As we are at the fair grounds.. This will give me time to plan and create.. Hubby has made me 8 more book shelves 6 of them will replace the one long one I have in the middle of my store as its falling apart and I will have an extension on both sides To make more room . Both the mystery suspense and the historical romance need more room.. I am hoping this will free up one book case on the back to make more romance back there. When all the other book cases and books come home to be stored in the garage hubby will put backs on the others.. I am always hearing books fall down the back of the shelves as book cases are not up tight to the wall. I will be adding more space to the store so bring in your friends and tell them we will have more books than ever.. I will have a per. sale table for children’s and Harlequin so I don’t have to take it up and down every week.. Let me tell you after being out in the heat or cold all day the last thing you want to do on Sunday afternoon is take down and put up a new sale.

On my www.readerwave.ecrater.comsight i also sell doll, books, LeapPad machines and books, I have an antique cradle,lots of odds and ends including my JDS Box (Junk)postcards.. and will be adding more and more… at www.shotglassheaven I will be adding a few each week as I have so many and get tired of looking at them all at one time… so have decide to do a little of each thing so I won’t get tired..

Today is a big day for my granddaughter Ginny. First day of her Senior year of high school.. She has already had her senior pictures taken during the summer… I can’t wait to see them. She is my first born and she and her sister use to stay with us after we got off work and on my days off. Back when Barney was big we watched him on TV all the time.. She loves cartoons to this day. One of her big interests is Japan she loves the cartoons and reads every book she can get her hands on.  Her cousin who is a year younger likes the same thing.. For a while they had their pictures on FB with these fairies.  Now all of a sudden they are using their own pictures. I have some of these books that I have found while out and about at my online store.. www.readerwave.ecrater.com  

Tomorrow,Tuesday night will be going to Lake City Main Library down town for a book signing with local author Joe Bullard for his newest book “Bolita Sam” Can’t wait to get one so I can read it.. And I will start selling them on eBay, ecrater, and amazon. As soon as I have them in my hot little hand. LOL. I still have copy’s of “Waiting for Agnes” I don’t have many left so if you are thinking of getting it hurry… I don’t know if they are going to have another printing of this one.. You can find it at www.amazon.com www.readerwave.ecrater.co and www.ebay.com  and find other things as well as these sights at www.readerwave.com  

Don’t forget my used book store at the Lake City Flea Market we will be closing down around the fair October 10 is the last day and we open back up November 12. So if you need some reading material or want to trade … Remember we trade a book and .50 for a book… I keep a running count if you bring more than you want to trade.Thanks to all my wonderful repeat customers you have kept us going during this hot summer when I would of rather been home is the air conditioning.

Krazy Woman’s Back

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Books books, and more books… That is what I saw today.. My store is so full of books. This weekend we have Children’s books on sale .25 or 5 for $1.00 I have a card table that I set in the way of everyone getting in one side of my booth.. You can’t miss the sign.. I have Children, Parents and Teachers checking out my stash. I put some fresh ones in this week from the last time and good thing I did I had a Teacher scarf up what she did not see last time… Then I explained I had put more on the table.. It was so hot and muggy then it rained and it cooled off for about half hour. Then the sun came back out and made it so hot.. I got sick to my stomach so I went home at 1:30 instead of 2:00 sorry for anyone who came later.  I did real good only a little less than last week so that is good. Some of my Teachers came in for there weekly reading fix.. only not as many books as school is starting soon they tell me. Looking forward to going tomorrow.. I have fun talking to the vendors and the customers… Now if anyone is looking for some good prices on used clothing check out Becky in the next row from me… Clothing .50 each, where can you find that.. And she has tons… and just got more today (ok Becky feel better). LYT….. I did not harvest this morning on FV as it was not ready and it was late when I did so sorry to all my other co opers for the silver and not gold.. Then the stupid game kept getting out of sink… and telling me to start over… Not in a good mood for a few min….   I have a store stamp for www.readerwave.com  I think i am going to change the name of my store at the Flea Market to the same thing…. It says “The Book Store” on the sign out side on the sidewalk at the Flea Market when we come back in November I am going to have a sign on my store in side saying Readerwave Book Store so my store stamp can still be used… Its great advertisement. I think on these things all the time and some nights I am up all night as I can’t sleep for thinking about these things.. Thank goodness last night was not one of them..  Can’t wait till Tuesday night my local author that I sell for on line is going to introduce his new book at our Local Library down town… “Bolita Sam” was suppose to take place near here. Before my time here as we just moved her 4 yrs ago. I will be selling signed copies on www.readerwave.ecrater.com  www.ebay.com   www.amazon.com  you can also get to it and his other book “Waiting for Agnes” at www.readerwave.com   and my shot glasses at www.shotglassheaven.com  Wanted to put picture in but my picture operator is not so talented today(me)

JDS Box What is That

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Where to begin.. I want to thank everyone who has started reading my blog.. No comments as yet but someone is reading it.. Besides my friend Becki and my daughters… That is nice to know… And my stores are seeing action so that is good also.. I have so many things to still put in.. Things are being looked at.. But I guess you are going other places to buy them.. Thats  ok you will come back some day. And I am sure all the regulars are wondering why I went away and now I am back.. The reason I went away is my customers stopped coming around when the market crashed and I needed to feel that I was selling so I started going to the Flea Market with my books. I had 24 boxes of books that I put on three tables and that is how my business started.  Now I have book cases in side the building and lots of under stock that I feed from.. I have lots of customers who trade books and so I don’t need to buy many any more.. Its so much fun… Meeting and greeting the customer…  And I also sell on line… I have “Waiting for Agnes that I have sold for over 2 yrs… I stopped for a little while this year but I am back.. And soon I will have authors new book “Bolita Sam”.  You can find this author Joe Bullard at our local library here in Lake City,Fl this coming Tuesday evening at 7:00. I am looking forward to this as I have not heard him speak of one of his books before.  You will find “Waiting for Agnes and Bolita Sam together on these websites soon  www.amazon.com www.readerwave.com  www.ebay.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com   my store items can be found at www.readerwave.ecrater.com   and my shot glasses at www.shotglassheave.ecrater.com   I was looking at a categories at eBay and I think I am going to borrow the idea of it and name it “JDS Box”  which is a shoe box that was in my Mothers closet full of stuff… and I am going to go with that idea..This way it’s different than eBay… don’t want them getting mad at me..
