Series Rambling is back….

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

This week, well today and tomorrow I will be working on putting series together for my flee market store… It started out that I found two books that are a series and I needed to find the books that went with them… found one… So now I need to go though and see if I can find others.. Have several series on line… in my www.readerwave.ecrater.comstore… Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber, Linda Lael Miller … I had some extras and I think I have some fantasy after I go though some bags out in my garage. Some of the newer stuff I just got last week… Needs a lot of work… trying to decided if I want one or two booths.. This time… Then the next week I have to be closed as company is coming.. From that week on I will be open hoping for some extra business for the holidays… I wish I could be two people as I want to do yard sales also… Can’t do both.. That’s go to them not have them. I already did that last month and we did pretty good… Well the rambling Woman is back…. she never leaves for long…

Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Google Analytics this fetcher on my computer is a wonder and an enjoyment to me.. When my daughter told me she cold show me who was on my sites I was shocked.. not names of people but what  towns and how they got to my site. There is a wheel that shows if they came direct, like they knew our store address or blog… If they came by way of a search engine.. Like google … Even what countries,states and towns… Like yesterday some one from the southwest looked at a book.  From Powey that is in California I think…

Wish it could tell me what to do to make people look more and then buy.. I love my bookstore and my shot glass store.. It makes me feel bad that I don’t do better at it.. I do better at the flea market… I can’t offer as much there as its to hard to carry everything with me…

We are having a fair in our town in the next few weeks so our flee market is closed down to get ready for it… I think I will go this year to get a better understanding of it… Also there is a book fair at the Library in the next town over this week and I got some really go buys last year so I am going to go get a look at it… I will need to be careful so I think I will take some boxes with me and a dolly… I have a plastic one that I can use put the box on it and go around with it so I don’t have to carry items then I will have boxes in the car that I can switch to it will take longer.  The reason I will have to be careful is I feel yesterday in our grocery store parking lot.. Spent several hours at the hospital getting x rays… I am on some good meds.. as I don’t hurt like I thought I would this morning.. I am going to go off them this morning to see how I feel… So I can get the pain level to tell the doctor when I call for my checkup date…

As you can see I am a rambler.. This is my blog to tell my story… To let my hair down so to speak..So I talk on here as if I were talking to someone here at home… But if you have read my blogs in the past I am the talker of this family..(husband and I)..I love him,our children(his and mine) books and shot glasses… I have two online  stores Readerwave who has moved from 4 years of being on eBay to being on eCRATER.. www.readerwave.com or www.readerwave.ecrater.com  I list most of my books by author… I can place as many books as I want on this site with no charge… for listing or selling.. You say how do they make there money.. from advertising. If I wanted I could place ads and lots of people do.. I don’t… Prices at eBay got to high for the amount that I was selling… I sell a book “Waiting for Agnes”by a local author in our area Joe Bullard..This book has sold real good for me… I have offered it on eBay, Amazon and eCRATER… I have sold over 200 copies and some are more than one to a person.. Make wonderful gifts and its signed.. That is the added feature I can offer that no one else can.. And the fact I am the only one offering NEW signed copies… They make wonderful gifts… If you are a Florida history buff its great… If you want to give a copy to your Library its great… I have sold copies to many countries… I feature some of my favorite authors I am a romance,suspense reader… Some of my favorite authors many of them write stories that are a series about small town USA Debbie Macomber-Cedar Cove (fashioned after her hometown of Port Orchard,Washington..(I have been there its across the bay from Seattle..)great place… This year they held Cedar Cove Days and to hear tell it was great.. I think I can quote someone who went that said there were 40 States and lots of countries represented…   You can read about this author more on her blog  www.debbiemacomber.com  Then there is Robyn Carr and Virgin River fashioned after no particular town but after the northern redwood area of California… you can read about Rybon Carr more at her site www.robyncarr.com  Then there is Diana Palmer and The Long Tall Texans series from Jacobsville, Texas another made up town of small town America. www.dianapalmer.com  Another one which I found by accident two summers ago when I had decided to read books with a series.. and new authors to me… I found JoAnn Mapson who wrote a series about Alaska and a young wheelchair bound girl trying to keep her plant nursery going that was left to her in a will by her aunt… loved it… I have always wanted to visit there and I did thought these stories.. There are so many authors with series that I love. Joan Johnston who writes about early history in America… (settlers) Then there is Jan Karon who writes about Medford  another small town USA… www.jankaron.com   These are just a few… there are so many more.. If you have an author who writes a series you think I should try please let me know.  I have read allot of authors with a series this is just the icing on the cake so to speak… There is Susan Wiggs, Rachel Lee, Janet Evanovich, Sherryl Woods, Luanne Rice, Linda Lael Miller she has a wonderful series that I follow … www.lindalaelmiller.com  also Fern Micheals and the sisterhood , www.fernmicheals.com  then there is Dorothy Garlock who write about the early days in America the 30′s on up…great stories… There are just to many to mention…. www.dorothygarlock.com  

I like going to book signings.. In January I heard about one with 12 local authors being there.. I traveled an hour from my home and it was well worth it.. I met some of the nicest woman and I had not read any of  them … I have read almost all the books I bought and had autographed that day.. I sent several to my daughter as she likes to read of vampires and I don’t find that to be my cup of tea…

Ramblings of a Crazy Woman is what I am changing my blog title to instead of Google Analytics as it is at the moment… I am not Crazy as the saying goes just crazy about Romance Novels… and their authors… Thanks for listening to my rambling… as we all hear a voice in our head as we read, I do…

Thank God for Wal-Mart…………..

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Went to Wal-Mart this morning for my Easter egg fix… Some of the grands are coming this weekend and we are going to have a Easter egg hunt out doors if possible, if not inside.  Then felt a edge of guilt so bought something to send the others who won’t be here…

Good news…. I started making my shot glass store last night.. we have to take new pictures of the one I have out and the ones in the boxes not out yet… I did take everything shot glass off my eBay and eCRATER, readerwave stores… give me a couple of weeks and you will see some good pictures… Gene is in charge of that and he says the weather is to bad to get good light… I have to say the new light bulbs they have out to get better prices on your electric bill are terrible on reading and pictures…

I got the new Montana Creed: Tyler book  by Linda Lael Miller www.lindalaelmiller.com   today.. will start today as I only had read three pages of the one I just started… so I can start it over next week…. I am thinking if I don’t sell one of the other two I will pull them and put them on sale as a set when I finish this one…

Gene has gone to the grocery store… I just gave Mom a eclair from Wal-Mart.. Me I would rather have a pudding filled from Dunking Donuts…(We don’t have one here in out town.) I also miss the bagels used to get and sell at work.. An everything bagel not toasted with cream cheese… Someone have one for me.. Please….There is a restaurant near hear that has cream puffs.. Two people can eat one they are so filled with pudding… We stop every-time we go to Bradford for lunch even if we don’t go to the restaurant for lunch. we stop on the way home…  I broke down and bought a coke at Wal-mart I have drank about half… I try not to have soda.. I do pretty good… I don’t usually drink at home… and try to remember when we go out… Its one of my trigger foods.. another is Macaroni and potato salad… When I make them I don’t know when to stop…   Looks like I don’t know when to stop here either.. Picture of the day will be one of the grands last Easter…

Gene is going to make me something to take to her.. I love giving out little gifts when I go see someone ..  I am half way through book Montana Creeds:Dylon  and the new one comes out tomorrow.  Montana Creeds: Tyler, they are by Linda Lael Miller, www.lindalealmiller.com  I should be able to start it by the end of the week.. Then you can look for them on my eCRATER store.  Everything I put in from now on will go on my eCRATER store. It has more to offer my customer as well as me.. I can sell for less as they cost me less…. Check it out… I have paypal and money orders… where on the other store I have only paypal and the books cost you more… I can move things for now from one store to another…. I do give shipping discounts on both stores… But as I said eCRATER is my store of choice and will be fading out the other one as things sell off…

There one year and they meet Ian Rafferty from Oregon.  Ian andMeridth  Smith become close…Next book Ian’s brother moves to Alaska after his wife and child die in child birth… He meets a young woman who has run away form boarding school to find her father whom she has not heard from in a long time.. (her mother died before she left to go to school)  There is a good story here and it has a great ending to go on to the last story where The Rafferty brothers have a younger sister who wants to go to medical school and in the 1800′s women became wives and mothers… So she is sent by her widowed father to the brothers to makes sure she finds a husband… She meets Meridth’s  Brother Tucker Smith….. The rest is for you to find out….. These stores tell of great Christian faith.. God is everywhere… Hard to put down….. You will find this book in my eCRATER store with all the large books with State titles… Have lots of them and they all have Faith….

I will be starting a new Linda Lael Miller book   “Montana Creeds:Dylan” that I just picked up last week…This is the second book of three… They are brand new… Look for it about in a week to be on eCRATER.

Looks like it has rained all night, I probley won’t be at the flee market this morning.. The rain has stopped but its very windy… will see in less than two hours… Man another night where I got no sleep… I get things going around in my head and I can’t let them go like I use to when I worked… I guess my mind and body don’t get tired enough when I don’t work out of the house… I need to start getting out in the fresh air and riding my three wheeler again.. Had a neighbor stop to see why I wasn’t riding now… That was very nice of her… Well friends my book(Blog) is done for this morning. See you later or tomorrow after Church….
