There's a thrift store in our area that sells used books galore. Unfortunately, we moved to a new home last year without any bookshelves. I'm missing the built in library of my old home, and currently have all of our books still in boxes.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-7719363572912043452012-01-18T08:53:23.658-08:002012-01-18T08:53:23.658-08:00Did I tell you I loved Farm Girl?

I have discovered them at the thrift store in town, where paperbacks are 25 cent and hard cover $1.00. I am amazed at the quality of the books there. They are so much better than those to be found in similar stores in Los Angeles. I wonder where these readers are hiding in our small town. Probably at home reading books.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-32083012716329478412012-01-18T08:40:05.527-08:002012-01-18T08:40:05.527-08:00WOW!

It's a 5 day promotion only, and the idea is to boost sales for Uncut Diamonds, which has been languishing, and also to bring attention to House of Diamonds, which hasn't found its readership among Kindle readers. In fact, these two books have done so poorly in sales overall that I was doubting whether I knew how to write a book that anyone who didn't know me really wanted to read. The huge number of downloads of House of Diamonds in its first 24 hrs. of this promotion has shown me otherwise Plus sales of Uncut has increased as well. Restoring my faith in myself and my writing has been worth a lot to me right now, and possibly an increased readership will follow.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-67716862728453400152012-01-18T08:06:24.748-08:002012-01-18T08:06:24.748-08:00That's really generous!That's really generous!Alex J.
