My favorite independent book store closed this year…I had tears in my eyes. The owner had been so good to me, and having run a small business myself…sigh. Best best to you in your new adventures.

Thanks for the very thoughtful post, Linsey!

I hide under the bed, too I really hate crowds and the thought of the Black Friday shopping madness sends chills down my cowardly spine!

This is the first time in years that I’ve gone shopping on Black Friday…but I didn’t do the 4 am doorbuster madness. I went out in the afternoon and it really wasn’t bad. I got a few things for the kids and family for X-mas…

I got our book shopping done on T-day eve when I went to my writers group at B&N.

I stay at home on Black Friday, not wanting to join the madness. I don’t enjoy shopping on days when the stores are empty, I don’t think I would like shopping when the stores are crowded.

I feel a bit insulated from most of the hype of the book business. I should know more about what’s hot and what’s not but I don’t know when I would fit it in. When I’m deep into writing, I get as far away from my internet connection and just write. I love my AlphaSmart because it doesn’t have internet ability. The internet is great but I should be working right now on edits for a short coming out under my Sara York name, but I have the flu and I’m finishing rereading Bertrice Small’s All the Sweet Tomorrows.
