I'm Back To Posting Again

First off I would like to apologize for being away for over a year.

I did not realize it has been over a year.

Shortly after the bookstore I worked in closed

I must admit I was more worried about finding a job

and had trouble picking up any books the first couple of months.

I never thought that would happen.

I found a "part-time" job about three weeks

before the unemployment was due to run out.

It is in a convenience/gas station that is open 24/7.

I do work "full-time" hours most weeks, but no benefits.

My boss is trying to remedy that

(it is not his decision to make unfortunately),

but knows I might be forced to take a different job if one comes around.

We have had some medical issues (on going) and a computer that has not worked right for months.

The computer is now fixed and for free from a family friend.

Bless his heart.

I have read 3 books by Mary Lynn Plaisance:

I posted the link to her Etsy store where you can buy them.

They are magical books that I won through Facebook by her.

They came at the mid-point of my unemployment

and gave me great pleasure in reading them.

They have become some of my favorite books

for their uplifting messages and magical "characters" in them.

She also makes dolls to go with her books

that are available for sale in her Etsy store.

Waldenbooks at Regency Mall Is Closing

Waldenbooks

in

Regency Mall,

Racine, Wisconsin

is

closing.

I just wanted to write something for

everyone that reads this blog

and who have supported

Waldenbooks in Regency Mall

by shopping there

and

the authors

who have graciously shared

ARCs, bookmarks, bumper stickers, and more

with the employees and the customers

THANK YOU!!!!

I have only been with the since August 2006,

but have shopped there since it opened back in the early 1980's.

It is going to be hard to say goodbye to the friends I have made there

and the customers who have made me smile.

I still plan on keeping this blog

(I know I have not updated for a while--sorry about that)

but it might be hard to write about books at first.

I will try to get to different websites

to let you know about

contests, free downloads, et cetera.

Since I am looking for a job

it might take a while to write about new books coming out.

I just do not have the funds to buy new books right now.

Although,

I do have many I have not read yet

because I just do not read as fast

as my mother and my friend Lori.

Those are mostly mysteries though.

insert a shameless plug and plea here....lol...

Since I am looking for a new job

(whether I want to or not)

if you hear of anything

please let me know

and if you are an author

that would like some free publicity

and have a spare ARC to send

please contact me.

I also have a Facebook and Myspace page

(though I admit I am on Facebook a lot more)

to spread the word.

Once again

THANK YOU
