Morning Meanderings… A Book To Win… A Sale To Conquer!

Good morning!

What’s happening in your corner of the world?

Pretty normal around here.  😀  The weather has been nice, 80’s but not killer humid, and other than work this week, I have done a little house keeping and DEVOURED the book Between by Jessica Warman (which was released yesterday).  My review will be up yet today.

Are you a Shelf Awareness reader?  I love this little email I receive on weekdays by 7 am.  It lists book and author reviews, book store happenings, upcoming bookish news, and usually a chance to win a book or two.  This morning they announced a little incentive for others to sign up:

Subscribe to Shelf Awareness and enter to win a free book!

Since I had nothing witty or spectacular to say this morning… I am going with the Shelf Awareness sign up.  😛  I will put this in my sidebar too for those who are interested, get on board by clicking and entering…. you wont be sorry. 

In other news, the big Brainerd Library sale is tomorrow morning at 9 am.  I will be there by 7 am.  Yes, as a freind of the library I could have helped set up the sale and get first pick of the books… but if you know me… I like the adventure of the hunt.  Besides, as I told my friend on the phone yesterday, they may frown apon how many books I would like to have “first pick” at. 

I will take my chances in the crowd.  😀

Here is what happened last fall during the wait for this sale:

Whats the craziest thing you have ever done for a book/ author event?

  1. I get shelf awarness and I have heard about it at a library meeting.
    Love it, I have found so many new authors and gotten so many ARC’s –it wonderful!

  2. The craziest thing I’ve done for a book sale is be in charge of the book sale in Waterbury, CT. Trying to get volunteers, and then get them to show up when promised – forget it! The craziest thing I’ve done for our book sale in PA is go when it was something like 95 in the shade with humidity to match. At that time the sale was in one big tent and it was sweltering. I got several bags of books though!

  3. I enjoy reading Shelf Awareness though I only started reading it a few months ago. It is a good resource for my job as well as for book blogging.

    Good luck with the book sale! I have never seen a library patron so enthused about it before. At our library book sales we get a larger number of new Friends of the Library members (they get to go to a special “preview” sale before the rest of the public). I hope you find some great treasures to read 🙂

    1. LOL – I am a Library cheerleader! 😛

      I just love chatting it up with other book lovers! If I would have helped set up the sale then I could have had first pick at the books (I am a friend of the Library) but I really enjoy the excitement of waiting in the line to see what I will get. 😀
