Personally I've always felt being able to read was a blessing.<BR/><BR/>Of course as a reading addict I don't really have a choice. (That's why my blog is called Reading Addiction.)<BR/><BR/>I will buy almost any book by a favorite author, or in genres that I like such as science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, humor and romances because libraries (and I have cards for two librarys) take to long to stock them. <BR/><BR/>Or don't buy them at all in the case of paperback titles.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, I just finished and enjoyed Anchors Aweigh. <BR/><BR/>When did you say your next book was due out?<BR/>(Prepares to mark calendar.)Bookmobilerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16698377864458267666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-54478396992931349932008-11-13T16:36:00.000-06:002008-11-13T16:36:00.000-06:00I think you're probably right, Estella, in that re...I think you're probably right, Estella, in that readers might be more selective in their book purchases.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping readers will be in the mood for something light and humorous in tone.<BR/><BR/>~Bullet Hole~Kathy Bacushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549844839816876766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-92230084789748211212008-11-13T16:33:00.000-06:002008-11-13T16:33:00.000-06:00I agree, Keri.

That I'm not alone in this belief only takes a visit to the bookstore or a look at the book aisle at Walmart. People are there and continuing to buy books. I think they will continue to do so. They may cut back on movies/popcorn/drinks or rent instead of buy dvd's, but they will continue buying books. Books feed the soul and during tough times our souls need the nourishment!Terry Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15709143995475498601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-52794211305494913072008-11-13T13:51:00.000-06:002008-11-13T13:51:00.000-06:00I'm on this bandwagon.

Tori is right, we need the escape.
