Krishna: Hi, Cool blog, this!
rob: Good point, Amelia. The hours people spend reading are the greatest cost involved. Given that we sometimes get fooled and buy books we don't enjoy, it's nice to have a low cover price, too--if not for the successes, at least for the rejects.Rob
amelia: You may buy books because they are cheep (so you can fill a bookcase) or because you may or may not want it. But I hope people do not read books because they are cheap. time is to valuable
Pika: blog hopping here
BUTTERFLYS: HELLO

Joanne Troppello: Just blog hopping...nice site!
Rob: Thanks, Amelia. Still, lots of people seem to think that stupid people doing stupid (embarassing) things is the ultimate in humor.Rob
amelia: I am with you. I do not find people doing stupid things funny. I find that people think I am funniest when I say the truth. Odd.

Rob: Hi Amelia,Yep, you're right. Paper is okay although I think it's faster to look up words on the computer.--Rob

Rob: Hi Amelia,Sorry to hear about Da Vinci. It's possible your reading habits are a bit more sophisticated than the average. Since I get paid for sitting in basements, it's not all bad.rob
amelia: P.S. I got DaVinci code on tape. Listened to it but got annoyed. felt manipulated so stoped also felt like I knew the end already. Finally I think goddess worshipers can be just as bad as any other religion.
amelia: good luck on your classes. What a bad Idea sit in a basement in Hawaii while Karen plays outside.
amelia: Looks like you have a Texas walaby on the cover of your latest book,

Rob: Hi Amelia,Yes, that thought had crossed my mind as well. The slowest reader controls the remote. --Rob
amelia: group reading. No everyone reads at a different pace. who will be the one that changes the page?
Rob: Hi Amelia,The spammers must have figured out a way to overcome the safeguards. Hope this doens't mean I have to take it down again.Rob
amelia: what is with these odd tags? If we have a nuculr war and any one survives I dont mind if they take all the paper books I leave.
julai: hi,good day!I'm blog hopping to gani more friends since I'm just a newbie in the world of blogging. I like this site, I love to read novels.

Lutchi : nice blog you got here...Visit me at my blog when u have time. TC
amelia: nothing is indistructable and when it wears out you want it to be recycleable. Also I am hearing about electronics being a trash problem.
Rob: Hi Amelia,But why recycleable? Why not just keep using it?Rob
amelia: priced so it will not be stolen, easily adapeted for large print, very light weight, very simple to use, hard to break, recycleable,

Can you believe it's December

First, we didn't get the house.

The house is in an old area of Long Beach and it was abandoned in the middle of a restoration (someone was trying to get rich fixing and flipping). It would cost a lot of money to finish the work but we couldn't come to an agreement with the bank that we could afford. Still, there are a lot of homes in the area that are in our price range, so we'll still be looking.

Second, it's December. I'm not quite sure how this happened. I'm pretty sure this year is really just getting started--but all of a sudden, it's December. Very weird how this happens.

Third, my son is visiting. He's been in Australia for the past year and a half (and will be going back) so it was great to see him when he visited for a while on Sunday. I think he'll be planning on coming back and spending some time with us soon.

Fourth, we had a nice bridge party for all of the beginning students at the Bridge Academy of North Dallas (http://www.bridgeacademyofnorthdallas.com/aboutus.html). It's great to create an atmosphere where beginners can play and enjoy the game while still being competitive.

I posted reviews of INTO THE FIRE by Suzanne Brockmann (http://www.booksforabuck.com/rompages/rom_2008/into_the_fire.html) It's hard to go wrong with a Suzanne Brockmann book but this one didn't do much for me. We had a lot of people angsting at great length, and not enough of the action I look for in a Brockmann story. I also reviewed THE WYRMLING HORDE by David Farland (http://www.booksforabuck.com/sfpages/sf_08/wyrmling_horde.html). Wyrmling was okay, but it was very much a middle book--and if you skip it and just read the next one, you didn't miss much. Hate it when I can't really rave about the books I read.

I'm going to make ACROSS THE RAINBOW by Victoria Chancellor the www.BooksForABuck.com book of the day. A pilot flies across a rainbow at his young daughter's request and is sent into the past. He meets a beautiful woman but he knows he can't stay--his daughter is waiting back in the present day. Moving and exciting--only $3.99. Learn more, read the free excerpt, or buy the entire eNovel here: http://www.booksforabuck.com/rompages/rom_2005/across_rainbow.html (available in HTML, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Palm Reader/eReader and Microsoft Reader formats). Here's the cover (cover design by Karen Leabo):
