If I know what she's looking for, why stay quiet? I moved quickly away to ease her discomfort. Some people only read a few books a year as opposed to a few a week, like me! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-85401451461161809462008-11-19T15:53:00.000-08:002008-11-19T15:53:00.000-08:00haha that is my most favorite question ever...evid...haha that is my most favorite question ever...evidence of my book nerdiness...well I guess it can be seen the most in how the teens I work with view me...they are always asking me if I can bring them a new book to read as the call me the Book Queen :o) <BR/><BR/>There's that and the fact that I spend as much or more time in a bookstore on Monday's than I do in my class at grad school. Sigh...oh my love of the bookstore :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-21358199256308818072008-11-19T06:13:00.000-08:002008-11-19T06:13:00.000-08:00It is easy for me to strike up a conversation at a...It is easy for me to strike up a conversation at a book store or the library, but then I hesitate because I think maybe the other person thinks I'm being noisy. I often though recommend a book if I see someone pick the book up as if they are thinking of reading it too. <BR/>When I was in the library recently another woman and I were both looking at books about classical composers, she and I talking about Renee Fleming, Bach, Motzart. I thought it was interesting that her boyfriend is a conductor in an orchestra.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693346981997723405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-45670793866109950342008-11-19T06:02:00.000-08:002008-11-19T06:02:00.000-08:00I do they same thing - help people that just happe...I do they same thing - help people that just happen to be shopping in the same store. I actually helped a woman last Christmas who was looking for a book for her preteen (at Barnes & Noble). Then about 20 minutes later she sent someone else who needed suggestions over to me because she thought I worked there. :/KyleeJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785603026281407598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-79925627173000564552008-11-19T05:52:00.000-08:002008-11-19T05:52:00.000-08:00I think I was pretty well-informed about the book ...I think I was pretty well-informed about the book world before I started blogging because I work in a bookstore, but I have realized that in the last several months, I've become much better at recommending books to readers outside of my usual genres because I've read about them on other blogs. Educating other readers and booksellers who in turn educate readers is one of the things the blogging community does that I really appreciate. Thanks for calling attention to this.<BR/><BR/>Evidence of my nerdiness? Whenever I come across a truly beautiful sentence or paragraph in whatever I'm reading, I pick up the phone and call my best friend to read it to her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
