Oprah and Ellen

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Oprah and Ellen I bought the O mag after my daughter called and said she was entering the contest for the 12 days of Christmas and we should both do it as we might win a trip to Chicago or Los Angles. That would be so cool.. I could not tell you how many times I have entered something and lost.. But its such a great thing to enter.. There is always a chance.  And when you don’t enter you don’t win.. My daughter thought that we would get to be on Oprah for the holiday show and I was telling her that it said a show now which one.. Just to win a trip together would be great. Our husbands both know how to handle themselves alone.  My son in law has 2 daughters to keep him in line and my husband can go see my Mother in her assisted living home… She’ll keep him straight!  LOL…

I have been working on my books for the flee market I am moving inside this week.. I guess its a good thing as its raining.. I wanted to have someone stand out side the building and hand out my business cards but I guess that is out of the question as its suppose to rain Saturday morning. Friday I go and set up.. That should be fun.. I have been going though my boxes and putting them in order so they are easier to put up. I only have a couple of hours to do this in.  Hope to see you there… Bring a friend

Remember I have an online book store come see www.readerwave.ecrater.com

Book Lady Rambles On.

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Today we are going to a Library sale.. We went last year and got lots of books… I am hoping to get the authors that my readers are looking for… We went yesterday to doctors appointment and then to the used book store.. I was able to get quite a few different kinds.. Even got some westerns…

I now have so many books to take that I need to get a second table.. That will make me 5 and I can put out 30 boxes of books…  I even have some new or almost new that I am going to take just have to find a way to mark them as they will cost more as I payed more for them.. I might take the idea from a friend who had a book store here local and mark the cover … I have a couple of weeks to think on this…

I can’t wait to go back to the flee market .. I have so many people who look for me there… And have made so many new friends…

Today is my granddaughters 17 th birthday… Happy Day my dear girl.. we love you very much 

You know the drill if you are looking for new or used books go to www.readerwave.ecrater.com or www.readerwave.com

Found You (second time)

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Hi, old friend I got to the best part of my computer..finally this is the second time I am writing this blog.. I am copying it from my laptop.I was so worried that I would not find you.. For an object who can’t talk back to me you are a good friend… You help me talk things over in my head, you help me tell people who don’t know me and probably don’t care about my life and what is going on, you help me tell people about my favorite thing to doing my life is my online book store. How I have always wanted to have a real one and this is the next best thing.  This online store has helped me fill my time when I have been sad, sick, lonely, happy and glad.  The blog is my second friend. My real friend was the first person to write a comment on here after I wrote back in January.  She was the first person to buy in my newest ecrater store (Lucy Lipshits) How about that for a name.. I want to thank @weatherangel for introducing you to me.. and working with me to get u up and going. 

The reason you got lost is because our computer crashed while we went away from it for one day.  My shipping department is also a computer geek..in the repair department.  He is retired and lives here with me as my better half.. He is Dad to his and my children, grandpa to everyone children and son-in -law to a grateful Mother-in-law and her daughter.(I know you are saying she runs one I know but that is me..) live with it…Anyways my blog…thanks for being with me all this time.. I just love writing on u and u help me keep sain.

Tomorrow I hope to have everything up and running again so I can put books and authors in you.. and hope I don’t have to retake pictures of this weeks books as they are already in the computer that crashed but Gene is up looking files and has finished and ordered a new computer over the Internet… We will have it in a few days…  What a weekend… come see our store at www.readerwave.com or www.readerwave.ecrater.com  we also have one autographed new book on eBay and amaz0n.  Waiting for Agnes.

Can You Find Me, Amazon,eBay,eCRATER?

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

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…

Piles of books are one author on shelves are Romance on right, mystery,adventure on left
