Farm’s, Town’s cafe’s

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Just about had my fill of playing games on Facebook… There are always problems… can’t find this, can’t get at that.. more money that it should be.  Trying to get my dander down by doing something different and alls it does is get it up… I have lots of money on one site and none to speak of on another and just don’t like the cafe so have stopped going there. tried to tell people I have stopped… not much luck…

Book store has been doing real well.. I could not live off it but for a hobby its great.  I have lots of LeapFrog again…So just come see me inside the Lake City Flee Market.  I am not the same person who has always been inside she has moved on. I use to be out side in strawberry boxes. Now I am inside on shelves and tables.. Come check us out… We take a book and .50 for a book.. We will buy out right Christian romance and westerns, James Patterson, Stuart Woods.. Robyn Carr. Trades we don’t want anything older than the 1990′s and perfer no hardcovers.. unless they are what we asked to buy… and they are still .50

I now offer Waiting for Agnes by local author Joe Bullard,new signed at the flee market for $20.00 I brought it up a penny just to make it easier.. to handle money.

I still offer this book on line at ebay and ecrater  www.readerwave.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com  www.ebay.com

Have a great day.

Who ever is in New Adams thanks for reading my blog

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…

Virgin River

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

I am devoting this blog today to Virgin River.. A make believe town created by author Robyn Carr.  I just finished reading her 2009 Christmas story…:Under the Christmas Tree… She writes about Strong woman who love Strong Marines.. I would love to live in this town… Small town USA.  This Christmas story is not the first in the series so lets go back and start at the beginning.

1.Virgin River,2. Shelter Mountain,3. Whispering Rock, 4. A Virgin River Christmas, 5. Second Chance Pass, 6. Temptation Ridge, 7. Paradise Valley, 8. Under The Christmas Tree(an anthogy with authors Debbie Macomber and Sherryl Woods “That Holiday Feeling(Just finished reading oh I am so ready for the nest one).

There is a promise of 9 more to come in the next three years.. If you get Robyn Carr’s newsletter you would know this… Jan,Feb, and March of these next three years a new book will come out… Personally I am very happy but then to wait for so long for new books… Oh people of Virgin River be safe and sound while we wait… Sense I am not a writer or publisher my opinion does not count but I would think doing it every three months would be better we could have smaller waits in between.   Then of course Lifetime are you listening… You need to jump on this for a TV series not a movie a series….  And if anyone out there thinks as I do get those emails going to Lifetime..They need to know how we feel.

Robyn Carr you make my heart so full of love I hate to put the book down and wait. Jan is a long time away… I can’t even look forward to a book in my Christmas stocking… (I stop buying books around Oct and give my husband a list of what I want for Christmas…) Try to make his life a little easier.. Some times its very hard…

Find Robyn Carr and her books at www.robyncarr.com

Virgin River travel with me to the Redwoods of Caifornia and we will never want to go home. This is not a real town but it should be….Jacks Bar is a place I would love to hang out and have dinner meet my friends…

Do you have a special place that you have been that makes this place home.. 

I remember going to a Club in South Florida when I lived there… I must of gone there for at least 6 yrs.. sometimes everynight.. Club Elvis offered linedancing for free I bought my one coke a night and learned to dance for 4 hrs… I left by midnight as I was a single woman with a job…I met lots of nice people there. Some are friends to this day others went their own ways… One of my best friends was my dance teacher and later became my co worker and great friend…

Memerys are great and books can take you anywhere you want and give you great memories.Take a trip to Virgin River in your mind.. You won’t be sorry.

You can find some of these books at my online bookstore www.readerwave.ecrater.com
