I like All of beachbelle's names.

So far, she hasn't picked a one that I haven't warmed up to immediately. Maybe, I'll change my name, hmmmmmmmmmm. Sign in to see full entry.

I Haven't Been Writing About Anyone.........

I sure have missed writing about anything. I have been making cd photo shows with music added for all family occasions, thus gaining a new reputation as a visual artist. Ha!! My camera failed me at the Trade Show in Phoenix, but I made a cd photo show of washed out photos with Mr. Arrow's Bills To... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing for the New Chinese..........

I was just thinking, having heard from the new Walmart in China exec, that a person doesn't have to sell too many people on an idea or product and they can still make millions in China, just for the sheer numbers of consumers available. I would think that America would be full of entrepreneurs just... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing About Self - BIOS

In the last two months I have had to write about seven different slants on my bio, conforming to the needs of the publisher, the direction of the requester, etc. Whatever that means. I am, one minute, part Native American and then another minute such a small part as to not ever claim it, but this... Sign in to see full entry.

I had to turn down the volume on the sexy audio book, neighbors, ya know?!?

My friend's mother gave me three audio books, Jackie Collins and the like. I listened and gave them to the library. I put off listening to the last one, A SEASON BEYOND A KISS by Kathleene Woodiwiss because of the cover art, a man and woman clinging, sort of. Sigh. I was afraid of the vocabulary in...

How to Get Your Child to Love Reading

I have found the book that I have been searching for. It is written by Esme’ Raji Codell and reading it is like hearing her in person. Her young enthusiasm and joy and love of books and their possibilities jump out of her words and fill up the reader. The book is titled, How to Get Your Child to... Sign in to see full entry.

May I steal someone else's story and ask you to comment in Chinese?

The New York Times newspaper had a story, actually a blurb on the editorial page, today that got to me. I was reading it in the hospital waiting for my African son to have a CTI Scan of his lungs. The story is titled, A Chinese Journalist in Peril, and is about a fellow named Zhao Tan who works for... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I read about twenty-five audio books every five weeks and thought that other's might like to have some small reviews, so as not to waste my opinions on these books and to possibly guide others into different areas of reading. I read indiscriminately, meaning "I pull books off of the library shelves because I have not read them yet, not because they fit my narrow scope of interest." I read everything on the shelves.
