- Are you an Author, Reader, Publisher, Editor, Agent or Other?
- Reader: I have a terrible secret that I must reveal to be a member of Book Place. I love to "read" books on CD as I go about my day in the car and when I go on walks. So, if that bothers members here, I plead guilty to trying to do two things at once. But, I consider books on CD to be my guilty pleasure. It reminds me of the days when we didn't have TV. Listening to the voices on radio brought many characters to life. In the case of books on CD, there are some amazing people who read these books on CD.

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

If you love to read, I hope you plan to attend the very first Book 'Em Festival there in Charleston on May 24th! There should be about 75 or more authors there to sign books, with proceeds going to the Book 'Em Foundation, which support literacy. Think you'd have a blast!
I hope you have a wonderful time here & be sure to tell all your friends about us.
