After a week of less than stellar news, finally something to cheer about! Both of my books, Musings of a Dreamer (poetry book) and Party Like a Patriot (party-planning guide) have been picked up by Barnes & Noble's Nook catalog and the Apple iBookstore. Although I am a big lover of curling up in an over-sized chair with a hardcover book, my love for eBooks grows with each passing day. It is a relationship that started off with great hesitancy, but now I have been won over. How incredible to be able to carry around 100s of books on an eReader. Truly a book lover's dream come true. And what about those price points! I am one of the first in line when it comes to balking at paying $25.00 - $30.00 for a book. Thank goodness there is now a way to quench my desire for new books without leaving my wallet incredibly empty.
It has been said that "variety is the spice of life", but little did the person who coined that term realize how accurately it would one day describe the book publishing business. Not only are there eReaders, but books can be downloaded to your computer and others can be printed as pdf files. Talk about options! I'm like a little kid in a candy store. Countless books to choose from; countless ways to enjoy them! Life is good!
FYI Party Like a Patriot and Musings of a Dreamer are both also available from Smashwords.com as downloads for online reading and as a pdf file for home printing. On Etsy.com, Party a Like Patriot is available as a full color pdf file with graphics through SKTparties.
