Watch out for flying books!!! :)
I work in a bookstore and we get vendor product displays in odd sized boxes. Sometimes, just sometimes they do not co-operate in coming out of the boxes. Today I was taking one out of a box (or should I say I was trying to?) and it was being very stubborn. I finally get part of it out of the box and what happens two of the books hit me in the face.
Now, I know it must have looked funny but they hurt. One caught me on the nose and one caught me on the forehead. They left tiny (really I do mean tiny) cuts that just did not want to stop bleeding. The little s.o.b.s lol. I actually had to put bandages on to stop the bleeding.
Of course that made people look at me funny and I had to explain what happened. The books knocked my glasses off (thankfully they did not break) and it gave me a headache. Stupid little books do they not know how expensive glasses are!!??!! LOL
I just thought it was kind of funny and wanted to share. It could have done some real damage, but even as it was happening I thought of Tim Allen and Chevy Chase. I do get accident prone when I am tired or do not feel good, but seriously this was more than even I am usually capable of.
Have a great weekend all.
Contests, Author, Book Signings, Etc. Information Wanted
I give honest reviews and always say whether I bought, won, or was given an advanced reader copy (ARC) or was just given a book by an author or as a gift. I am not a professional author, publisher, et cetera and as of this moment do not get paid for my reviews.
I did work in a book store for a while until it closed in January of 2009. I like to read and read a variety of books. I buy most of the books I read, but would love to receive ARCs or free books.
I read old and new books and there are only a handful of people who's reviews I enjoy reading and I do not let them influence me much (except in maybe I will pick up a book even if that reviewer does not like it). Everyone's taste is different and if I like something does not mean somebody else will.
If you are an author, publisher, blogger, or et cetera and would like me to read something of yours or want to add information to my blog please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much for reading and supporting my blog.
