Last week another member joined my book club. 😄 He is still little, that's why he is reading the alphabet.
Recently I went to a nearby town, and found another used bookstore. I love bookstores, and can spend hours in them.
Books are more expensive there than at other used bookstores. I bought three books. The owner said I could return them and buy new books with a 50% discount.
My book is scheduled to go to the printer next month, so I have a lot of work to do.
I still want to learn how to make e-books. I did learn the basics, but my sample book's layout is horrible. There were empty pages , and several chapters didn't start on a new page. So I need to learn how to fix these errors.
We are supposed to have cooler weather again this weekend.
How is the weather in your area? I heard there were ice storms in Texas and nearby states. Ice storms in Texas!
Take care everyone. Stay safe. 🌻🌻🌻
Last week's to-do list:
1) Re-pot and fertilize herbs.
2) Reset the old printer and donate.
3) Make a sample e-book.
This week's to-do list:
1) Edit the book.
2) Reset the old printer and donate.
3) Harvest purple yam.

I really like your book club group!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that plans to publish your book is back on track! I hope it is published without any further problems! Let me know how I can buy a copy once it is published, please.
Sounds like you will be busy this week! Stay warm!
I also love to browse and hang out in bookstores. Before Covid, we used to go to Barnes and Noble on Saturday nights and hang out reading the books, magazines, and bargain book areas. The weather is South Florida is great- I was at the beach yesterday!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty mild here in the UK although I gather it may get colder again over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat book shop looks good and I like the 50% back scheme.

Good luck with your book Nil, I look forward to reading it one day. I love bookstores as well, and having worked in libraries, always have to restrain myself from tidying up secondhand bookstores, ha, ha. Your figurines are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's good news about your book. I hope you manage to get it edited etc., in time. xx
ReplyDeleteThe book club is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best getting your book published
I love your little book club! What wonderful news about your book being published. That is such an achievement. Please let us know when it is available for purchase.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting the book published. You do so well with your blog, I am sure you will figure out how to fix the issues with the ebook.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have found a new bookshop to explore, Nil, and I too could spend hours in them, but buy few books aside from ones offered for sale at the local library. Recently, I have started purging cookbooks and given some to friends as I have too many never used. Good news about your book and hope you get all the editing completed on your to-do list. Our weather here in Nashua, NH, is not just cold, but frigid and as I post this comment it is now 9 degrees, which is warmer than the overnight temps in the minus teens.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very friendly little book group there. How nice to find a used book store; they are getting scarce around here.
ReplyDeleteI love bookstores too and could spend a few hours in 9ne. I’m so glad your book will be published soon! You must be so thrilled. I know I would be.
ReplyDeleteoh yes I adore bookshops! Good luck with your book being published.
