What are you reading? Are you sure it will be something you must have your friend read…Even if they don’t like the same kind of books you do. Or it would be like my friend who does not like to read at all.  I am always telling her about a book or my book store and she is so nice she listens and tells me all the right things. The key word here is listens…. We should be listening to each other even if we are not so keen on the subject matter.. I have learned over the years how to be a listener. I am the biggest talker or was… I have learned how to sit and be quite and be by myself… Can you do that.. I learned this from a great man. Yap the same great man I wrote about last year.He is still here doing great things.. This summer he drove me to NY State to bury my parents.. Now he has been out in the garage for over a week building me a sewing machine cabinet.  Its looking so nice. And I am being so nice to him I let him take me to dinner last night..I would let him take me to the post office to mail books but I have not sold any in a couple of days… It started off so nice we went three days in a row… Waiting for Agnes is waiting over here in a corner to be put in a bag to be mailed all over the place… We have shipped all over the US, Canada, England, Sweden, Lots of different places we can do it again.. You can order it at www.amazon.com www.readerwave.ecrater.co  www.ebay.com  And I have shot glasses for sale at www.shotglassheaven.com  I might not have this one shot pictured I picked just a picture out of the many I have. I have so many more to list  and I have been putting it off.. I will get to it some day.

on our vacation this balloon landed and took off again by our hotel

I sold two book in two days this is wonderful. One here in Florida the other in Sweden. I mailed one yesterday and the other today.  Will be going to yard sales this morning. Can’t wait love doing this.. Have to go back to the library and Wal-Mart to return books.. I have read this series and had forgotten. And it was just this winter.

I wrote out my news letter for the Flea Market. mentioned that I am putting the sale table out first Saturday in August.  I wish I had room and money to expand would make it a every week thing for both Children’s books and Harlequin/Silhouette.  I have some Condensed books, customer was asking for them a while ago and found some and they have not been back.. Also some large print. had a good week… Found more Nora Roberts. I am getting a lot of trade these days.. So I have not been able to get under my counters and put it out no room.. I did trade on my hardcover table took some off and put others out. Going to put away biography this week so I have room for some other things that sell better..   I am collecting strawberry boxes.. I can fit 28 books nicely and I can read the titles on them nicely. They will be great for when I have to move the book store in October because of the fair.  I wish the Flea Market was open Thursday though Sunday that would be great.Of course there are people who work those days and can’t come But there are allot of us who are retired and could come. Something to think about.

Don’t forget Waiting for Agnes is for sale on line  by local author Joe Bullard at www.amazon.com www.ebay.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com  I can offer different prices at each one as it cost me different at each one..  and you can find me here.. write all question to me here or readerwave@bellsouth.net

Some habits are so hard to brake. I wrote on FB yesterday that I would not be back on it or play on FV till Monday as its so slow… Took me 25 mins to harvest crops yesterday. Well I found myself getting on this morning just habit. Well after waiting 5 mins to get something done I got right back out. Time for the company to hire some help and get out of the garage. I know they must be making some money as people are buying things for there stores or farms as they can’t wait while they earn this farm cash.

Addition

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Might have some new news.. Not sure that is correct English. We are talking about expanding one more space in our book store.. This will give us more room for older books,Children’s, Harlequin sale table can come back. I will not be able to afford buying lots of books to fill this space so if you have trades, or want to just get rid of some of your books contact me here or at the Lake City Flea Market.. They must be in good to better shape not moldy, no animal smells, cover must be in good shape… At this time we will take hardcovers as well… We will expand our front table to one more table across the front of the booth.. the ways in will be the same.. The new booth will have no entering point the entrance will remain as it is .

To the person who had to have a book about God and gave me a DOLLOR  that I turned into the bank and not nothing for … If  you had asked me nicely I might of given you the book… Being dishonest will not get you back into my store I will remember you.

I am thinking about putting my gift shelves back in and doing some gift items also… And going to try making book covers… see how that goes…

I will have a sign up telling you about the book I sell on line for Local author Joe Bullard  Waiting for Agnes

Beautiful Library in Upstate NY

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Yesterday was a wow day.. I lost something and someone found and returned..I went to one of my places to find books and a customer was there and shared his loot.. found 4 grocery brown bags full.. Went some other places and found more.. Nothing that anyone asked for just some that are needed to replace some others.. Going to bookstore today and get what I can that people are looking for. I hate to do it this way but I have steady customers who are looking and I want to keep them coming… The good buys I got this week will off set the book store buys as they cost me a more than I sell for… I have had to go up in price in some things as I get more, I would never up price of something I already had… Unless the whole store was going up like if I had my rent made higher.  If you live in the Lake City,Florida area and are looking for a place to donate book and just don’t want to throw them away give me a shout. write to me here…Anything I can’t use in my store I will pass on to an agency looking for donations. I will have Childrens and Harliquin back in late August or early September.. So keep checking back. I am running low on them and have to re stock…. Have a great day.

Remember I am back to selling Waiting for Agnes. online  www.amazon.com www.ebay.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com

And my shot glasses at www.shotglassheaven.com

Then it moved to my head and chest..At this point it was Monday and I called doctor and got meds I had taken last year and worked so well.. They are working but I still feel lifeless… Hubby has been sick also so we have been doing it together… No one feels like doing anything…

On the bright side heard from an old customer from another town in Florida.. She was wondering what happened to my online store.. Well it was doing nothing so I took it down. I now have a store at the Flea Market in Lake City.  I am inside the building please tell your friends and if you are looking for something let me know.

Monday

Another week… having company next week and allot of doctor visits this week… Will be very busy… My hubby is building me a shelf for my store.. I keep finding places to put them.. and thanks to a customer we have come up with a way to make the new one he is going to build for the center.  It was an idea a customer said I had wasted space at one end.. this can be attached to the other ones and will help them stand..I will not be buying books outright from anyone for now.. I have to many… I know I have ones that customers want and I can’t get to them.  When we come back in October from the fair I think I am going to move the mystery,suspense to the front and put historical in the back.  The next few months are going to be very hot so I am going to be taking it easy .. You will find me sitting under my the fan that is over my head.. I am so lucky. I am looking for a way to keep my head cool… My blood pressure goes up when I start getting red in the face… I need a hat that is an ice pack… LOL… can’t you see me with an old fashion ice pack and a ribbon around it and tied at my chin….  I like funny hats its an attention getter… My mother could wear just about anything…  I have so much hair that hats make me hotter so I try to wear something cool… Most of the time.. my knit hat has to go for the summer its holds in the heat… I am thinking of a straw hat and putting a removable towel band in side that I can take out and wash… I will work on that idea this week.. I have a towel that was going into hubby’s rag bin may be it won’t … I am going to stop putting added pressure on myself to get my shot glasses and dolls listed at eBay and ecrater as I think about it then I don’t do anything.. One day I will just start and I will contact you by this blog for a few days or weeks to let you know that its happening… I have been reading a little more lately… it relaxes me… I started picking up around the house as we have a new house cleaner coming this week … And she should be able to clean and not have to pick up things.  We are waiting on two pieces of furniture still.. one bed… and the cabinet for my sewing machine.

My blog is flip floppy I know… I have so much to say and so little time… I have a phone call to make for a friend to a relatives of hers.. about some surgery she is having and I have already had… I will do that first. Already called in meds… have to find out about my referrals for doctor… Then I think my phone calls will be done..well time to get started… see you all soon… Don’t forget Waiting for Agnes is still for sale for a little while I only have 6 left … Author is on vacation till further notice.   www.ebay.com www.amazon.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com

Another sleepless night

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

agnesMan it is hell getting older. I use to lay down and be sleep in 15 minutes or less. Now its hours… and sometimes right away then wake up in two and stay awake for hours.. Get a lot of time on the computer at night.. Try not to think of eating at night.. Its bad enough during the day.. I am a dreamer and a thinker.. There are things always going on in my head. I sometimes don’t realize I have been asleep as I go to sleep thinking and wake up with the same thoughts.  Weekends are hard for me to sleep. I get excited to be going to my bookstore on Saturdays and Sundays.  I sell used books at the Lake City Flee Market  and have so many things going on..  I sell most books for $1.00 I trade a book and .50 for a book.. I buy some books.. westerns and christian.  I will be adding some authors to that list soon..  I have been lax about checking dates of books as I don’t want anything older than 1990. People have been slipping them in. So now I will have to be more careful and check dates of books..

I sell one new book and it’s signed by author.  “Waiting for Agnes” by local author Joe Bullard.  I am the only one who sells this book locally and online.  I always have a couple with me at the market. Come check it out. On line you can find it at www.readerwave.com www.readerwave.ecrater.com www.ebay.com www.amazon.com
