Spring Book Season

Spring is an especially great time to be in the book business. I spend most of my days rushing to get to one sale or another where I'll stand in line with hundreds of other people waiting for an event to start. This is some of the most fun I have, I love people! I love to talk to people, listen to people, watch people. Book lovers are some of the best people to spend time with - they are far and away my most favorite form of entertainment. I can stand in line for two hours and have conversations with dozens of people on dozens of topics ranging from favorite authors or books to politics, religion, food, weather, clothing styles, travel tips, music, science, history or any of a million other topics. It's an amazing education, I always come away feeling as though I've expanded my core of knowledge - and then I get to do my most favorite thing -- buy more books for all my favorite people!
This spring has been loads of fun - there are tons of new books out by both, old favorites and new names in the book world, so it's been a great good time hunting up the best of all of them to stock the store with. I'm excited to be filling the shelves with literally thousands of new books after a long winter of waiting.... waiting.... waiting... for the Spring!!
Take a few minutes to drop me a line - let me know what you've been reading that you liked, loved or loathed! I'll pass along you're advice to all the other booklovers I come in contact with!

My personal favorite right this minute is - Jasper Fforde - too much nursery crime fun!! Who knew that the Gingerbread Man was a bad guy???

Cheers!

April News --

Wow! I've been running like crazy - gathering books for all our avid readers! Just got back from a whirlwind trip - two events in Tennessee - one in Maryville and one in Loudon - picked up about 1000 books and then headed to Columbia, SC for a HUGE event that I love going to! It's where I get a lot of the current fiction that everyone loves! From there it was straight on to Gainesville, FL for a big, big event - and a quick run to Orlando for some of the 30,000 books that are still in storage.
I'll be in town for two days and then its on to Maryland, back for several events in VA that will add another 1500 titles - You better get down here before the good stuff is all gone!

New Books!

Wow!! I just got back from a won-der-ful book event! I bought about 750 books that will hit the shelves before the end of the day Tuesday the 31st - don't miss out on something you've been searching for!! Come check it out!

And.... don't forget - This Saturday, April 4 we'll be closing early because we have a wedding to go to!! Everything will be business as usual on Sunday the 5th.

Cheers! - Judy

Blog One!

Welcome to the first posting of my new blog!

I'm not sure where I'll go with this blog - for right now I'm just hoping to learn how to get the thing linked to my webpage! Eventually I'll get it working and use it to update all of you when anything interesting is going on at the store. For example, its March - that means that we're just entering the book events season. There will be thousands of books hitting the shelves in the next few months as I travel the country in search of the best reads I can find.

I got back yesterday from Durham, NC, I brought back several hundred books that have already been added to the database. I lucked into a fair number of inspirational fiction as well as a ton of best sellers, classics, mysteries and even some childrens books.

Now would be a good time to scout around the website (www.pagemaster-books.com_ and see if you find anything you can't live without. If you don't see what you're looking for you can shoot me a reply to this post or set up an offline search on the website.

Check back for lots more updates as the sale season gets rolling!

Cheers! - Judy
