Booking Through Thursday - Authors Talking

Do you read any author's blogs? If so, are you looking for information on their next project? On the author personally? Something else?

Go here if you'd like to join this week's topic of conversation. You can link your own post or join just in comments.

Well, when I read this weeks meme, I first thought, "No", but then I remembered a newly published author that I've been keeping tabs on. I'm reading her first novel now, "Around the World in 80 Dates" and am looking forward to the next.

I'm just about as good with knowing authors of books as I am at remembering or knowing singers/bands of songs or details of movies. There are, of course, some that I know, but even some of my favorites leave me blank when I try to bring them up in conversation - so I don't, usually. Trivia, forget it.

What about you? Do you read author's blog to get more info on them personally, their work or something else?

Happy Reading!!

Since I like writing myself, I enjoy hearing about their writing habits, routines and stuff about the publishing industry. The inner workings is interesting to me.

Luck

Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is. Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre -K. Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation! go at here down and These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See . It's perfect! I hope to find more of these gems.

A More Economical Way to Acquire and Recycle Books

I love books. I almost think that I’m a book-a-holic because I drool over and snap up books like some women do shoes. Like many, as the economy dives, I’ve had to cut back from my usual book buying haunts in search of cheaper and more economical resources. In the beginning, I went cold turkey and started to get any book that I wanted from the library – test drive it to see if I really wanted it. Then I really started to pay attention to the library’s annual book sales and, of course, the books that they have for sale in the foyer every day. Can’t go wrong with $1.00 hard cover and $0.50 paperbacks! I’ve gotten many ‘steals’ from browsing this selection. Unfortunately, the selection can be quite limiting. Thankfully, I stumbled upon a new and upcoming online bookswap service called BooksfreeSwap.com. It was created earlier this year as an easier way to swap books and audiobooks online. Swap as in, FREE! Here is how it works: Create a free account and create your o
