Do You Buy on Amazon or in a Bookstore

Started this discussion. Last reply by Nike Chillemi Jan 20, 2010. 2 Replies 0 Likes

I usually don't even go into bookstores. I buy on Amazon.I'd say I go into Barnes & Nobel twice a year, if that. I will go into a small, mom and pop bookstore when on vacation if I see one.Continue

At 9:34am on December 25, 2009, Nike Chillemi said…: No I haven't read Anna Karenina, and I should have. I was in an experimental reading program in HS. I was allowed to read anything I wanted. I met w/a mentor once a month and explained my choices. She didn't judge, just listened. The only thing was I had to read a certain amount of books per month, which I surpassed. I read everything from sappy romances to War & Peace, my choice. I guess that's what they wanted to know, what a kid would pick.

I must say you are very fortunate to have been exposed to great literature in high school...have your read Anna Karenina?

At 12:55am on December 16, 2009, Connie Chastain said…: Hi Nike, thanks for the welcome. I have to tell ya, I enjoyed publishing my book almost as much as writing it; that is, the mechanics of it -- designing and creating the covers, interior design, typesetting (choosing the font, size, etc.) Of course, self-publishing involves more than that, primarily promotion and marketing. I'm just now learning about that. Those are things I enjoy much less than actual production; but as I understand it, I'd have to do a lot of that on my own if my book had been conventionally published.

We'll see, I guess. My second novel, Storm Surge (romantic suspense) is almost finished and I'm going to go the submissions route with it. If it finds a publisher (I'll submit to e-pubs) I'll be in for a new learning experience!

Thanks again for the welcome.
