Holiday Reading

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Holiday gift giving… can be very stressful…. Reading is a great hobby and if someone doesn’t read, you never know you might get them to with a great book.. or magazine. I like this time of year as all the new holiday books come out… I read Christmas stories all year long.. Brings my spirits up and I just love reading about Christmas and different way authors bring you in to celebrate. Most authors write a holiday book… Then I pick and choose what and when I will read it…I am always finding a Harlequin that I have not read or think I haven’t and I reread it some times… Debbie Macomber is one of my favorite authors and she writes about Christmas Angels… Shirley, Goodness and Mercy…They are sent from Heaven to Earth to help people find what they are looking for.. Forgiveness, love, all kinds of things… Her Cedar Cove series had a holiday book last year, “A Cedar Cove Christmas”  I have it at my on line store with the series of Cedar Cove 11 books new and used for$48.00  I have read several Sherryl Woods holiday books… James Patterson wrote one a year or so ago… It was great…

Holidays are the best time of the year if we could remember to act like we do over the holidays all year long it would be a great thing….

Holiday movies my favorite is with Tom Hanks and the Train… One coming up December 5 on Hallmark channel is Mrs. Miracle with Doris Roberts… This was a book written by yes my favorite author Debbie Macomber.

Find a good book, good chair and read.

Theme

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Tried of old theme… Needed some change… Colorful trees and leaves are what I was looking for .  I did this with out help.. so if anything is not like it should be.. I am not a geek don’t claim to know anything about computers… My daughter who helps me has two teenage daughters one in band.. and a younger son who is a geek… so she is needed at home… I am trying to be not needy..And whine that I need her … Its hard as I was so dependent on her for so long.. Then all of a sudden it clicked.. And I was able to do on my own with the help of my husband once in a while.

Now if I could get people to read you and comment it would be nice..

I have started my holiday gift giving idea’s I have one gift bought .. woman’s grab bag.. for my husbands family… We will get together at my sister-in-laws house and exchange.. We have not made any plans as yet for any holiday coming up.. Will wait and see…

I need to think of Husbands birthday is coming up next month.. I don’t know what to get him..Tools are out he can buy his own better than I can… Clothes he buys when he needs them. I wish there was some kind of workshop that I could send him to for turning wood.. He is getting really good with that.. Or some place to buy wood of different kinds. That would be a cool gift. He would be so surprised…

This is the way my head talks to it self form day to day…

Then of course there is the gift you can give a book… you can find new signed books or used books at my on line store www.readerwave.ecrater.comI will be adding some things for the holidays and will put them under there own category Holidays…

You Poor Readers

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Books … I promise to enter books in my eCRATER store next week… I have been lax.. lately.. very relaxed… And its showing up in my blogs also.. I am sorry to who ever might read and not comment… You are being very kind….

Next week I have several books to enter…

Brenda Novak   Trust Me  used

Barbara Delinsky  The Secret Between Us  New

Kate Wilhelm  Cold Case  New

Luanne Rice Last Kiss  (One reader,Me)

Linda Lael Miller Bridegroom(One Reader,Me)

Emilie Richards happiness key (One Reader,Me)

Nancy Haddock  Last Vampire Standing   New signed

I found out that I have been advertising my books wrong… Nothing new I always find something to change… I have been writting autographed on all the books where some are signed…..Like

Waiting for Agnes is signed…. Autographed is when its personally to someone.. I have many of those… some I have put away and some I sell… I like to see an author and get two books if I want to keep one so then I have one to sell also…

Oh this last paragraph just gave me a Christmas idea for one of my daughters… sense they don’t read me often I don’t have to worry about my idea getting out…. the last time I took a great idea from here it worked …. I have to do a lot more holiday thinking… Husbands birthday is coming up… Then there is Christmas for 4 children and spouses, and 7 grandchildren and Mother, then comes the extend family and friends members… I have one idea for one child and that is it… I was always done by now when I was working out.. Well some of that was because I worked retail for 18 yrs..  Then the sit down job came along… 7 plus yrs… Now I am not working just puttering around the house and with my books.  Sometimes it get boring and others its great.. Sales are down but times are looking up… Something new happens every day… Like this tick in my cheek… Have had it for a week now… comes and goes… Husband says its a muscle that is pinched somewhere and I need to move my arms around and it might stop.. Sometimes it comes at the weirdest moments.. That is like when my leg starts moving when I am sitting down with it up in my recliner… just starts moving on its own… and its not because there is music playing….

This is how I use to write letter could never write books I get off the subject and just travel…. I started out talking about books, went to holidays and then to health… you poor readers I am leaving it…
