Just a quick reminder that the

Waldenbooks

inside

Regency Mall

last day open is

All regular price books are 40% off list price.

The mall and store closes at 8 p.m. on Saturdays.

On a personal note

if any

regular customers

and/or

authors

happen to read this

I would like to say

THANK YOU

for supporting the store over the years.

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

Brisingr by Christopher Paolini Midnight Release Party Photos

I know not too many pictures,

but I will not post the pictures of other customers.

I do not have permission to.

These are of employees and friends

that came to the midnight release party

we had at the bookstore I work at.

The photos were a group effort using my camera.

Beth and Michael.

Both are friends and Michael is coming back this Christmas to help us out. One less thing and person we have to worry about. He is also an artist. Beth has a few birds and has worked in a few different fields.

Ashley

(or Miss Ashley as I have taken to calling her for some reason)

eating strawberry Pocky.

She is also a friend and colleague.

I blew up the balloons (like anyone cares---lol).

My friend and colleague Lori baked cookies.

Ashley added the Pocky and other merchandise to the table

and bought Pocky to hand out as samples (and to eat herself).

These pictures were taken after the bookstore was closed

and so did not violate the strict street date.

I like the color choice for the third book.

Rumor has it there will be a fourth;

since it is now called the Inheritance Cycle

instead of the Inheritance Trilogy.

I still have yet to personally read the books.

I know one of these days I will read them

if I ever get through the stack of books I have piling up around the house.

Too many books and not enough time.

"Breaking Dawn" by Stephenie Meyer Midnight Release Party On Waldenbooks, Racine, Wisconsin

Before I get into any details

I would like to ask in

Stephenie Meyer's name

(I hope you do not mind)

The publishers and Ms. Meyer

are asking a big favor

that if you see any spoilers out there

real or not to notify them.

The book has a hard street date of

2 August 2008,

That means nobody should have a copy before that.

If you or someone else does you have it illegally.

Stores are being asked to

sign that they will NOT

open the boxes before the release date.

There will be serious fines for people who do open the boxes

and display or sell or read before the street date.

The object of street dates is primarily so

ALL stores have an equal time to sell the book

and not to spoil books before they come out.

There are books

that sometimes have advance reader copies,

but not books on this nature

(big anticipated books in a series).

That is so everyone can find out together what happens.

If you find spoilers,

anyone breaking street date,

anyone where you work

if you sell the book

opening the boxes the contact link is below.

Please take this seriously.

Thank you

bdcopyrightviolation@hbgusa.com,

It is official

there WILL be

a midnight release party

at the Waldenbooks store

in Regency Mall,

Racine, Wisconsin.

The festivities will

start at 9:30 p.m.

with the book

There will be various activities, trivia,

and please feel free to come in costumes.

I will post more as I find out more details.

It is not too late to

"Breaking Dawn"

You can also reserve your

Borders exclusive

2009 calendar
