Where to begin. Has been a very long time sense I wrote on here. I was thinking I was not going to do it again. I am always thinking of things I would say and just never do it. Right now I am troubled about my bookstore. I love it so much and don’t know if I can keep it going over the summer when it is so hot and people either don’t get out because of the heat or they are doing other things with families.. This is when I get to thinking I wish I had a real store where it was opened every day and I could afford to hire someone to help me. I think if that ever happened I would try to keep the Flea Market store also. I did really bad this past weekend and if it keeps up I will have to cut back to two spaces again and I would not be-able to have as many books out as I have now. In the last month I have added three more bookcases so that I can have romance in a better spot. I need to get more new customers for the summer months.
Looks like I will be raising my prices in the fall when we come back from the fair. I mentioned it to a few of my customers and they suggested that I do it now. I am in a turmoil. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am not buying book. I am getting lots of books with the tradein’s There are some authors that I always run out of. Stewart Woods, Lee Childs, Robyn Carr, Wendy Wax, Linda Lea Miller Diana Palmer Joan Johnston Dorthy Garlock and some of the fantasy writers who names fail me at the moment.
I had thought that if I could find a place to buy books as I need them wholesale I could offer new books people are looking for . Customer would prepay. I know nothing about this part of the business and I am afraid to try. I have no savings just living book to book. Math is not my forte and spelling either as you have seen I am sure. If someone can help me with my thoughts or a place to buy so I can beat Wal-mart. LOL
A couple of weeks ago I got hubby to take me to The Villages here in Florida a couple of hours south of here.. I got to see and have autographed books by Debbie Macomber. It was so much fun. Top picture she is signing a book for my sister whos birthday is in December but I sent it to her already I could not wait.
