We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. There are lots of stuff happening in 2012 and we as avid readers are very excited. There is the Kindle Fire for only $199 with it colored touch screen and the Amazon whispernet delivering our favorite reading materials in just a few seconds. Can’t wait until I get my income tax refund so I can get me one of those.
Kindle Fire, Full Color 7″ Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi
Some of my favorite authors are releasing new and exciting books this year and some of my favorite characters are even being made into movies! Check out Janet Evanovich’s website for more details of the first Stephanie Plum movie. I love the actors they have chosen for the characters in the book and from the previews I’ve seen it is going to be a hilarious movie.
And Finally, our sponsor site is sponsoring a Contemporary Limericks Contest. We love limericks of all kinds but this is strictly a family oriented site so all of the limericks are supposed to rated “G”. Hey, maybe we can compose some limericks about Stephanie Plum or even the Kindle Fire. Alright all you writers, readers and fun-loving people out there get your thinking caps on and compose those 5 lines rhythming limericks about your favorite characters! Then go to the All About Limericks website and read the contest rules and enter to win…..They are now accepting applications and the first winners will be announced on March 1st with monthly winners thereafter!
Published April 8, 2010 | One of my favorite magazines to read is the Readers Digest. I love to read on the jokes and humorous stories at the bottom of the pages first and then Laughter is the Best Medicine and Humor in Uniform stuff next. Finally, I will read the articles. Whenever I am in a waiting room that is the first magazine I look for. It has always been a great resource of information and humor. I can read it in a few minutes or take my time and read the whole thing. I haven’t had a subscription to the magazine in a long while as it was costing too much but now they have an online version that is just about as much fun to read at: http://www.rd.com/. I know that all magazines depend on advertising and paid subscriptions to stay alive and I wish them well in that pursuit. So if you can afford the price of a subscription please get one.
The Readers Digest magazine will keep over time better than just about any other magazine you can get. I have kept all of the ones that I have collected over the years and enjoy re-reading them whenever I run out of books to read. They are compact enough to put in your purse or maybe in your back pocket (if your pockets are big enough). The company also still pays for stories contributed by everyday people as well. I have never done this but if you have and were paid we would like to hear from you about your experience. Encouraging people is write is always good thing and even young people can get their start by writing for the magazine you can go here: http://www.rd.com/submitJokePage.do
Published March 8, 2010 | I am playing catch-up again and so you will notice that there are 3 or 4 articles added this time. Sorry about that. Don’t be alarmed as these are being back dated. As I have stated in previous posts I love to read and some of what I like to read takes time away from things that I need to do such as keep up with my blog postings. And I have to limit myself or else as you can see nothing will get done. I have to read articles, newsletters and other blogs to keep up with trends in my job for which I have a blog at: http://medicalofficeclerk.info. I have a couple of blogs for family and friends at: http://jolenesramblings.blogspot.com/
As well as an electronic bookstore that I am currently renovating at: http://jolenesbooksandmore.com
And I have started a new business of website and blog creation service that is still in it’s infancy at each of the following:

http://blogsforyou.info
http://websforwriters.com

Of course, I have other websites and blogs and for shear dumbfoundedness on my part I volunteer to redo a website for our local Volunteers in Medicine chapter as well. Which I believe turned out pretty well. In between all of this I have found the time to read for pleasure as well.
One of my more recent books that I have read was Laurel Hamilton’s Divine Misdemeanors I wasn’t able to get the book when it was first release in December of last year like I normally do, you know Christmas expenses, but when I did read it it was well worth the read. Ms. Hamilton’s stories are always good and this book is about her second set of characters that she writes about Merry Gentry – Private Eye also known as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. It is the eighth book in the series and on her website you can still download the first chapter and read it. If you like books about supernatural stuff and murder mysteries then give this author a try. Her books have a great story line with suspenseful plots, great characters that are well fleshed out and she gives informative details about the worlds she has created that seem so believable that they could actually happen. Both her series that I read, Anita Blake – Vampire Hunter and Merry Gentry – Private Eye are set in the U.S. Anita Blake is set in St. Louis and Merry Gentry in Los Angeles. All of her works are great reads and take you out of the everyday!
