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…

A Stranger’s Game by Joan Johnston   New Paperback                  ISBN978743454391

FBI Special Agent Breed Grayhawk  has the hottest sex in his life with a stranger,only to discover the next morning that she’s a convicted double murderer who broke her parole and disappeared.  Now she’s his prime suspect in a terrorist threat against the U.S. president .

Ten years ago.  Grace Caldwell was framed for the murder of her father and stepmother.  Determined to make the true killer pay, she burgles a suspects home and nets a surprising haul a hot pink, silk covered diary that records a sex-addicted wife’s adventures…and hints that grace’s target may be a serial killer.  But the theft has been caught on tape, and the man she’s been chasing now becomes the hunter.

With just five days until the presdient visits Austin,Texas, the last thing the FBI needs is a serial killer on the prowl…and an alleged terrorist determined to clear her name.  As the clock ticks down. Agent Grayhawk is racing time to discover the truth about his dangerous lover.

Both these books and authors are some of my favorites.  You can find these books by going to www.readerwave.ecrater.comand looking in catigories under the authors name.      You will find more of author books at www.joanjohnston.com

Books One Store over Another

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Love to read, turned a hobby into a pretty good store for a very long time… Last year after 4 yrs of higher and higher prices, and changed rules more often than we can count, we moved from eBay to eCRATER. 

There are only two things I can’t do at the new store or you can’t do..Move from one persons books to another.. example 1 (search for one title and find every book in ebay with that title so you get lots of sellers offerings. In eCrater you go from one store to another and look at all the persons books..) 2nd example (shipping discounts.. can’t offer them directly like before.. If you want a shipping discount you must pay full price andI will send you back a refund as soon as I get your order.  shipping discount is buy first book or largest weighting book in your choice of books pay full price  every book after in the SAME order is $1.00 shipping and handling.  The only way to do this in eCRATER is to payful price and I will send you a refund as soon as I get the order… Of course if you do money order you can have your discount right away… as you are mailing me amount after I send bill …

I offer over 1000 books and other items in my store come take a look… Over 100 authors listed by name and some are in random spots where they belong, romance, mystery etc.. We even have two books autographed personally by authors… Debbie Macomber http://tinyurl.com/nxowek and Joe Bullard http://tinyurl.com/pc9yap  Have summer Flip Flops http://tinyurl.com/kobh73  Patricia Rice http://tinyurl.com/m2ng8t , Nora Roberts http://tinyurl.com/lwrnwa , childrens http://tinyurl.com/nemrxo  Johanna Lindsey http://tinyurl.com/nn3feg Fanatsy http://tinyurl.com/ln7frl  These are just a few… We offer CD’s and Cassettes for talking books, we have music CD’s from some of my favorite singers, Reba, Collin Raye, Garth Brooks. We have Harliquin at new low prices http://tinyurl.com/mm17mk  Come see our store at http://tinyurl.com/olyuny or www.readerwave.com We do have one book in both ebay and amazon.. “Waiting for Agnes” is offered in three places at three different prices. This is because the companys have different prices they charge to sell for me.. eCRATER is the lowest as they do not charge me anthing to sell there… So again eCRATER has the best deals… I have lower priced books and will offer a shipping discount when asked…any questions  email me at readerwave@bellsouth.net If you need references go to eBay and see my over 2000 feedbacks.. Have a great day.  Picture of the day……….

Pictures, fog, moving,uck………..

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Got up this morning thinking I was going to take pictures. But the fog is covering the sun and does not look like it wants to move anytime soon.  So there goes that idea.  Guess I might have to clean house instead… uck.

Our neighbors who have been here less than a year are moving..They are military.. I hope they are getting to go back to Hawaii where they are from.

Before I started “Summer on Blossom Street”  by Debbie Macomber..(which I also have on ebay as a auction… I was reading “Up Close and Personal” by Fern Michaels.. Great book.. Tells how a mother has a sickly child and has another to give the sick one bone Mauro… Then gets someone to trade this child and give her one that’s not hers and she takes it home and gives to her caregivers to raise… Watch the sorry unravel when she is older…You will be pleasantly surprised at the out come…

You can check out both these authors ontheir websites… Debbie is on tour with her book… Such a nice person .. Saw her Tuesday night when I got two signed books…  http://debbiemacomber.com   http://fernmichaels.com

You can buy my  books at three sites, Amazon, eBay, and eCRATER, all offer “Waiting for Angnes by local author Joe Bullard.

ebay offers a copy of “Summer on Blossom Street”  autographed  at Auction.

eCRATER has all other books, LeapPad, Movies, Music, talking books, Singing Bear,  More items going in everyday….

Books,Authors, Sellers,Readers,

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Authors start thinking of ideas, Books come out of the ideas,Book Sellers move the books(me) and Reader’s pickup the books and take them home (You).  Today we are going to concentrate on making a better way to do this and help you see what you are missing by not looking, seeing, and buying books from me. Why you don’t even read my blog anymore or any-less… Remember Yes things are great today. and I will do my best to see that My bookstore will survive. And then there is my shot glass store shotglassheaven… in the next few days we will be adding more merchandise. Come check us out….

We have local author Joe Bullard’s book Waiting For Agnes (New paperback) in three places… Amazon at $22.00, eBay at 19.50 and eCRATER at 19.00, all three places are great.the difference in price is to pay for what the company’s charge me to sell there… The only one that does money orders is eCRATER… They are just as good a store as the rest maybe a little less known…. I have had lots of sales there just people are not use to going back and leaving feedback. Feedback is an important thing to a buyer and seller.. Tells the buyer how good the Seller has done on past sales.. I have over 2000 on eBay you can look at… then go somewhere else to find me if you like…

I sell at our local Flee Market on Saturdays also. You can comment here and leave word of what books you are looking for.. I look on Fridays to find books where ever I go… and sometimes  find places during the week while I am out.  I will be running a couple of sales this weekend… so check it out.  Please let me know you are reading my blog… Its nice to hear…. You can find me on Twitter also… Have a good day and picture of the day is…….

On my book stores what a way to make a livin’…. Thanks Dolly for writting such a beautiful song….

This morning I am working to put the authors in eBay that I have lots of books for one author… Any that are not in good to great shape I am going to put into eCRATER when I finelly get it where I want it… So far this morning I have put in Luanne Rice, and Lori Foster love their books.. Next I will be working on Judith Gould and Eileen Goudge.  I have read Judith Gould and a couple of Eileen Goudge, they were both good. 

Book I am reading right now is a Harlequins “Fortune’s Christmas” The book contains several stories about the same Great Aunt and Grandmother who has decided she can help her children do better, has given them land or businesses that are falling apart with the catch that they have a year to make them profitable. If they succeed, the land or business is theirs to keep, but if they fail, it goes back to the Aunt… These books are “Full of Love and Wonder”… enjoying it very much… Authors are Lisa Jackson at www.LisaJackson.com, Barbara Boswell, her books sell on Harliquin and Linda Turner also sells Harliquin, when I finish it probably on Saturday it will be put on sale on eCRATER  for under $1.00 along with other Harlequins…. Check it out! 

We are working on giving rebates on shipping and handling.  That will be coming up soon… If you buy this week you will be included..  This offer is only available on our eCrater store not on our eBay store… Its so neat to see when I google to see something I created on there… I wish someone would tell me what they think of my stores and or blog.. would love someone to talk back and forth with.  I am not a wonderful writer or speller and I babble.. But you know what this is my blog and I can do that…
