Support writers—READ!

 

     I love reading new authors’ books.  I search them out in my local Borders and I hope that someday other people will do the same with mine.  When I worked in a book store, it was my job to keep both the Mystery and Sci Fi sections up to date, restocked, and I had the honor of making selections of new books to add to the shelves.

     I am saddened that so many book stores are going or have gone out of business.  Don’t leave it up to me to keep book stores and other writers in business.  Go buy some new books and get reading.  Sure, you could go to your local library but if you are anything like me, you have more books in your favorite genre than they do, and better ones!

     I’d rather write or read than watch TV.  Yes, when I’m not writing, I’m reading.  Heck, I burned through two mysteries tonight.  I needed a break from the major rewrite I’m doing.  If you like mysteries, check out the writers in my writers community  list.  As I discover new ones I do add the authors to the list.

  1. And books are commercial-free! The story isn’t interrupted every ten minutes by three minutes of inane commercials.

  2. Yes, it’s only interrupted by a. The dogs wanting to go out, to be fed, to go out b. DH who is watching TV and making comments about the program (or) c. DH wants to be fed 😉

  3. The cure:
    For (a) the dogs can wait a moment or two.
    For (b) Duct-Tape.
    For (c) earplugs.

  4. I just sent a note to John to tell him I finished the last in his Teddy Bear series and I was going to miss it. He tells me he’s hard at work on his new paranormal effort and I can’t wait. I buy more books than any other product. And now I have a Half-Price Bookstore close by where I can sell some of them back – but never my beloved mysteries! If I could, I would spend all my time reading – unfortunately there’s that pesky little Masters Program where I have alot of reading, too, but it’s just not a who-done it — in Theology I already know the ending of that Book. 🙂
