My romances aren't self-pubbed...though they may as well be, the attention they get. LOL I'm with a small, digital press. I don't know if they qualify. She says Indie.

Actually, I have moved down. Way down. I was once in top 50.

Moving up the ranks of top reviewers! congrats!

Hi Amy! I'm looking forward to following your reviews. You always find some interesting books. It makes my to read pile about topple over. LOL

Well, hello there Tara :)

OMG!!!!! Thank you!!! I gotta read that. I will add it to the database myself and now must search for it. I'm familiar with the real life aviatrix the book is based on. She had a chapter in that flying flappers book.

Hi Tara, I spotted this review on a book you might be interested in. Can't even find it on Goodreads.

No. Between goodreads, my blog, and my ten hour a day job, I don't have time to manage stuff on another website. LOL :)

P.S. Do you have a facebook?!

Thank you very much!
Yep, it's a senior picture. (:
I love them so much!

That blue plate.. I wonder if that's a fancy handle on it or a vegetable made into a miraculous shape? Way cool.

Eh, it's hit and miss with more hits lately, it eats about 50% of comments I try to make.

Hayes sets a nice table, doesn't she?

Irene.. I posted them on LT member giveaways. I waited a bit and nobody showed interest.. Sorry. Go and put in for it.

Hayes, thank you!!! Wish I had some China like that!

Thank you! LOL. Sorry about blogger. :( I'm not savvy enough to move somewhere else without losing everything. Great review posted today by the way.. That Sky O Malley. Funny!

Happy birthday to Tara and nice cake from your husband. Tried to comment on your blog but ##@@!!@@## blogger ate my comment again.

Your skills are in another area, obviously. Love your blog. The countdown idea is just great."

Thanks. After about a year or so, I am gonna run out of Countdown topis though. LOL

No, I wish I was that skilled! I hired a really cool chick. Her name is Parajunkee.

I suspect the publicist got my name from another publicist who sent me one book I requested months ago. Problem is the new publicist didn't look very closely at my blog or my reading choices or he wouldn't have sent me these books.

Hayes, have you seen my new blog header??

Friends and fellow readers, Question: Have you ever received books in the mail from publishers that (A) You never asked for. (B) Have no interest in whatsover.

I received two hardback books in the mail today. Neither one interests me in the slightest. I don't know why they were sent to me. Do I contact the publicist listed on the papers with the books and tell him I don't want them and pay my own money to ship the unwanted things back or what? I got too many books I WANT to read to waste time on books I DON'T want to read.

Help!!!

Just the price.

Most likely not, but really not sure. Maybe instead of Fabio we get Robert Pattison on the cover

Question for my friends: When a book 40 years old is republished by a different publisher with new cover and all that, do they also edit or change the story or prose? I've found a book I want to read and discovered it isn't new at all, but has been out 40 years and published by probably 10 or more different people. Read the new copy or old? Will anything be different?

Thanks, Hayes! It's been HOT here. No breeze, no rain. Really feels like a desert and I live in the northern part of the state. It will only be for a while tho. Come October it will be snowing again probably. LOL How have you been?

I didn't get a recommendation but I did manage to find it. That woman has wrote a lot of books!!

Sawyer, it is I, Victoria and I believe I sent you a recommendation last night. This is if I did it right :)

Sawyer, Misfit, if you ladies have not yet seen the movie, Young Victoria, it was REALLY GOOD. I highly recommend it. Misfit, what is the name of the book you mentioned below? She has so many, I can't narrow it down.

Misfit, thanks for the infor. I gotta go look for that myself now.

Sawyer, you are more than welcome. I love to spread the joy of reading.

Sawyer, I just came across a memoir-style book on Victoria by Cynthia Harrod Eagles. Reviews are mixed, but I'm intrigued enough to try it (in the library catalog), as is Pat.

I'm looking forward to your blog book giveaway.
(: I've only won about two things in my life, so this should be interesting!

Hey, friends!! I have finally started my own blog!!
