Goodness, I had forgotten how much fun it was to go book shopping via Amazon.

I received a gift certificate for Amazon, and have had such fun using it. Anyone else shop Amazon for books?

I'm finally getting The $64 Tomato, a must read for every tomatoholic, along with 2 other much wanted books.

Woohoo!

LOVE Amazon.

I really love buying their music online. You get to listen to them all!

I'm seldom disappointed with any purchase from there.

Merry Christmas!

Amazon is our favorite website, mostly for the books (I buy quite a few used, sometimes for pennies), but also for the DVDs, the music, and small household items. And the monthly bill shows it!

The book sounds good. Did a search and this is what I found. I am sure it may be sold other places also. Here is a link that might be useful: book

Thank you all for you responses. You've given me some good ideas, and some names of books that just might spark some discussion. I'm always a little leery of books about the Holocaust; I often find them too upsetting to read. But The Sunflower sounds like it goes beyond just relating the horrors to some deeper reflections on human nature. My library doesn't have a copy, nor a copy of A Thread of Grace, but I think I'll look elsewhere for them. I like the idea of the reading kits. I believe our local library has a few of those; I'm not sure how many. I went to one meeting of the library book club. We discussed Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth, a fabulous book, but I was disappointed in the discussion. It was dominated by a woman who wanted to discuss current-day politics, and the leader/librarian, couldn't seem to slow her down. The discussion ended exactly one hour after we started, even though we had lots more to discuss.

I'll play! I began the day by Leaving the Saints and admiring The Last Boyfriend. On my way to work I saw The Devil in White City, and walked by The Crying Tree to avoid Henrietta's War, but I made sure to stop at Tempest's Legacy. In the office, my boss said, Howard's End is on the Landing and sent me to research The Journal of Best Practices. At lunch with The Magician King, I noticed Tempest Rising in The Night Circus greatly enjoying One Dance With A Duke. Then on the journey home , I contemplated A Discovery of Witches because I have A Week to be Wicked and am drawn to The Secret Duke. Settling down for the evening in The Forgotten Garden, I studied The Art of Fielding by The Secret Keeper before saying goodnight to The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I did a new piece yesterday using crayons, I like how it turned out. Unfortunately my crayons are Crazart brand which are extremely cheap and it shows. I already had those which I had for a previous project. I might get a better quality crayon. I agree I am sure that the more expensive special pencils would be much easier to use. I will consider getting better tools if I think this hobby will last. So far I am enjoying it. I too wish we had a place we could discuss it more and show our work for comments and suggestions. I don't do FB but I have read that Angie Grace group and enjoy the pictures. Maybe we could ask for one as a sub forum for KT, like some have the conversation sub forums. We could have a sub forum KT Hobbies discussions,or something like that. That way it could include all varieties of our hobbies from art, photography, writing, animals, what ever your hobby is.

I'm a sick puppy when it comes to Amazon.com. I buy books, I sell used books and my book is currently for sale at amazon. :) I love Amazon.

Amazon is probably my favorite online merchant. I buy and sell books there on Amazon marketplace too. I would love an Amazon gift certificate as a gift. It's also a great place to read reviews of books to decide if you want to read them or not.

Hi again Socks,

1. Go to Amazon.
2. Check a book in which you may be interested.
3. Read the review.
4. If you like its message, go to the library.
5. Check out the book.
and 6 (though there's no such number on your handle/username) Read the book.
and 7 (same message) Decide whether you like it enough to buy.
and (maybe) 8 (same message) Go back to Amazon.

I hope that you've had an interesting and educational fall.

It's a poor day in which one doesn't learn something.

I love Amazon too and buy most of books from them. Sometimes I find a better deal at eBay and go that route. I'd check them out at the library as Joyful suggested, but my library is small and rarely has the books I am wanting.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this sickness for books. A gift card for Amazon...How wonderful that would be!!

A trip to Amazon is always dangerous. You find one that sounds good, they point you to other great related ones, and one purchase turns into several... (It is also my favorite way to shop for library books, too, since some are fun to read, but not worth buying.) I just did some major Christmas shopping on Amazon. It took me a couple weeks to add, then narrow down to get everything just right. But I've got a new cart started already.

Joyful, I've always been a big fan of the library. However in the last 3 years I have had health problems and have been stuck at home a lot. In addition, our library was relocated to a (dingy) temporary building while our fabulous, big, new, wonderful, modern library is being built. It will open soon. Yippee, we've moved into the 21st century!! And now that I'm back on my feet, I'll definitely use it more than in the recent past. Thanks for the reminder.

Rhome, I agree: a trip to Amazon can be dangerous.

ole joyful...I just bought a book at Amazon because I couldn't find it anywhere. This was after checking it out through interlibrary loan, and finding out it was one I would be willing to pay for. Most books, I'm not.
