Books……..

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Books, there are so many things you can find in them.. You can learn to cook, maybe you want to be like Paula Dean, or Rachel Ray.  Then maybe you want to learn to decorate like Nate, or the design team from Extreme Makeover…Or maybe you want to learn all of it from Martha Stewart..

Books can take you far look at all the books Oprah has had us read over the years…There is so much to find in books… You can learn to read… You can learn your ABC’s and sounds.  Books can teach you games… How to play fair…

There are romance books by authors, Debbie Macomber, Robyn Carr, Joan Johnston, Carlly Philips, and so many more. Mystery and suspense is a good one that everyone loves to read, by authors John Grisham, Brenda Novak, John Finder,Ted Bell, Dan Brown. Then there is fantasy written by Stephen King, Christine Feehan just to name a couple…

Books can be found in lots of places, Big bookstores like Borders, or Barns and Noble, mom and pop stores like Gallery West in Gainsville, Second Edition in Hollywood, Florida these are just two that I know about that sell new and used books. On line stores there are so many you can find the best one that I can tell you about is mine of course www.readerwave.ecrater.com  Then there is www.acread.ecrater.com  there are so many more.. You can find anything you are looking for some where.. You just have to look.. Places you don’t expect to think about looking second hand store, Salvation Army store, grocery store, Walmart is a big seller of books they get allot of the newest paperback on the best seller list..I bought 9 myself this month..

Books can take you lots of places, I have visited Alaska, in romance novels, this is some place I would really like to go some day. I have read of the Racing at Saratoga, I have read of Leaves changing in Vermont, I have read about Presidents and such in books I read in grade school from my school library, Library’s are free you can do so many things there.. whether its your school or public library… Our library has books, on tape, books in large print and just books, there are new hard cover books, there are soft paperback books, Our library even has books for sale that people donate or are taken out of the library for some reason.They even have a place to learn English so there is no reason not to read.My hats off to the person learning a new language. Reading is so much fun… you can read for fun as I do, for the pleasure it brings you… you can read your local newspaper to find out about whats happening in your town and areas around you as my husband does… Just Read….

Second writing one place you can find books I did not mention. Some people sell at Flee Markets, it might be with the other things they are selling they set out a few books they have read. Or Like I do I have whole boxes of just books that is what I offer for sale at the Flee Market.. When I go back in November will be offering new and used… Have been taking apart my book room here at home as right now I am doing better at Flee Market than on line… Yard Sales are another great way to get rid of and buy books… Here locally we go on Friday and Saturdays… When Flee Market is open I go on Fridays so I miss some great sales on Saturdays… Have been to some great ones while its closed

Saturday at last Family coming today

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

DSC04622One of our daughters is coming today That will be so nice… we have not seen her in months… Between our health, their jobs and school we don’t see our children and grandchildren much.. we are spread out on the east coast… Could be worse one family used to live in WA.  I use to fly there. But when I did I went to Port Orchard to see my fav author.  And when I go visit another in Va I see another author who live in Maryland.  There is good and bad with life and we must roll with the punches as they say..

Going to pick up some more books today.. Will be all set to sell Waiting for Agnes for another month.. Sales have picked up lately  Have put in lots of authors this past week.. Gwen Hunter, Charlotte Hughes, Tony Hillerman,Andra Kane just a few… Have a new Fern Michaels “Under the Radar”  after this one only one left in the sisterhood series…  The next book  I am reading is an old Diane McCall… Have not read to many of her books… Since my books are not selling I might as well read them.. And no one is reading and commenting on my blog so no sense writing about them… (my own pity party is over)  

Its going to be very hot here and the gas prices are $2.75 as of dinner last night… so don’t buy next to I75 come into town to walmart its about a half a mile further in on 90.  Have a great weekend and enjoy your families..

Just finished it and looked to see when the next one “Temptation Ridge” was coming out it came out March 1st… Man and Gene just came back from Walmart… Guess I will have to start one of the other 20 books I have in my bag waiting… I love authors who write series…. it gives me so much to look forward to anther visit with family and friends… Yes I really get into a book… it becomes my family. I cry and laugh I get mad… there are not many books I start that I don’t finish…. I can’t put it down even if I don’t like it…
Talked to Berta this morning and she is off visting her husband while he is on a road trip for his job…
Ilene and Beth (daughter and granddaughter) are on their way here to pick up GGE old bed and make it Beths new bed.. And this morning Mom decided that the comforter was to big for her new bed so I have that in the washer so Beth can take that too…
We are going to Gene’s sister Joyce’s house tomorrow for dinner and visit with neice and nephew coming form Nashville area… That will be fun have not seen them sence last year when we went to a wedding of a great Nephew.
Friday was slow for sales.. But it always has been I think Fridays being the end of the week people tend to go out to dinner or movie or just hang out with family and friends.
