You know, it seems to be a growing epidemic, bloggers churning out books. It’s a good epidemic mind you. Some of my favorite bloggers are now hard-copy-authors (after all, aren’t all of us blogging maniacs authors? Well, most of us anyway. Not sure my writing qualifies me for such a title).
I only need to order about 10 million copies of this one. Everyone I know loves P-Dub. Did you know she and I are Compassion sponsor buddies? Yup. Tis true. Find and click on my Compassion category on the left side of this screen and you can read all about it.
If you haven’t visited Angie’s blog before you are missing out. This is a gal who has some spectacular Biblical insight to share. I’ve learned so much from her. Her story and the way God has carried her through her heartache will rock your world.
I love Ann’s blog. She feels like an old friend. I think her book will hit VERY close to home for most of us. I love her boldness in getting a message out that most of society today doesn’t want to hear.
Hilarious stuff. Hits a little too close to home sometimes but makes me laugh none-the-less.
All these new blogger books got me thinking.
If I were to write a book, what would it be about? What is my expertise in? Hmmmm… Here are some possible titles I came up with:
“Inconsistency – Sometimes I always am”
“My Inner Martha Stewart – She’s Gotta Be In There Somewhere!”
“A Personal Story of Procrastination – The Killer of All Great Intentions”
“How To Start Something And Never Fini…”
Somehow I don’t think my books will be flying off shelves any time soon. What do you think?

ummm, how do you find time to read blogs!!!??? Share your secret, I barely have time to update my facebook status. Maybe it’s just because my boys are so young…maybe someday i’ll have time again…

Christine, yes, you’ll have a little more time when the boys are older… but not much. I basically do my blog reading (and posting of my own every blue moon) during naps or after bedtime. If we don’t have to do school, I usually can sit down for a little bit and do some speed reading before a fight needs to be settled or someone needs a drink/snack. =0)

Ummm, my book would be on the same subject…
I have heard of a couple of your blog favorites and you gave me a couple more to check out. Thanks!

Your welcome Charlotte. =0) I keep trying to win a Pioneer Woman cookbook (so I can stop printing the recipes off her blog) from other bloggers but somehow, my name just never gets drawn. Ideally a box full of them on my doorstep would be fabulous. Then I could keep one and give the rest to all the cooks I know.

I want to write a cookbook. Maybe someday …

Let me know if you do Amy, I love cookbooks! Basically it comes down to the fact that I can’t create a recipe to save my life so I enjoy copying others. But at least I don’t CLAIM it as my own… if I did, someone might ask me to create another recipe for them and then the whole sham would go up in flames and I could never cook again.

I’m delighted to see Not So Fast in such good company–thank you for highlighting the book!
I’d love to win a copy of Ree’s book, too.
Her popularity is amazing–have you seen reports on the turnouts for her book signings? Wow.

Ann, Ree’s popularity is amazing! She was doing a book signing about 45 minutes from me but I didn’t even try. I didn’t have enough time. =0( So sad. I’m sucking it up and buying a few of her books. lol.
