So far, I've "bought" only three books; although interesting, I should have waited until they hit the library and I could get them free.<br /><br />I'm currently reading a freebie: Beyond All Price, a story of the Civil War.Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-30735295055317775582011-08-05T06:01:23.218-05:002011-08-05T06:01:23.218-05:00Brighid,

Hope you are doing well and that you have a lovely trip home. <br />Yes I am in the same place and would love a post card. Thank you for thinking of me. <br />Do take care. <br /><br />Patty,<br />Bonnie said that if you ask your library to order it, they might. Hope that works. <br /><br />Ginnie,<br />Hope you get a chance to read it. It's a goodie. <br /><br />Bonnie Turner,<br />Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. I really, really enjoyed your book and your style of writing. <br />This is eerie. I thought that man might be your Dad but I was thinking that perhaps your Dad had a similar story. Rather glad he didn't. How nice to get that bit of back story about the cover. Thank you for posting my review on your site. <br />Wishing you great success with your wonderful book. <br /><br />Grandma Yellow Hair,<br />If you ever do splurge Maggie, you will love it though it seems you have a pretty good set up now with your PC Kindle. Hope you enjoy the book. Also hope that other door is opening for you about now.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-26645872723553711372011-08-03T16:47:23.599-05:002011-08-03T16:47:23.599-05:00Hey Patti

Hope all is well and your staying out of this heat.<br />I love it when you give us a book review because as you know I can't live without a book to read. <br />Been trying to decide on splurging on a Kindle or Nook and after reading how you have so many stored and ready to read makes me want to head to the store ..I am headed though to Amazon now to download this to my PC Kindle. Not as great as having a Kindle but if I get comfortable on the couch I can read it from my computer.<br />take care <br />Love<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-13276473385926020002011-08-03T13:54:29.168-05:002011-08-03T13:54:29.168-05:00Hello, I'm the author of Face the Winter Naked...Hello, I'm the author of Face the Winter Naked. I would like to thank everyone for your great comments, and Patti for reviewing my novel! <br /><br />There is no hard copy of this book, just digital and paperback. The paperback is currently on sale at Lulu.com at 25% off, so be sure to check the link below. <br /><br />Also, librarians often order books their patrons recommend, so this is a good deal for them.<br /><br />Please check out my web page for information about my other books. I would really REALLY appreciate your passing on the great remarks about Face the Winter Naked. <br /><br />By the way, the image of the man in the cap, in the top left corner of the cover, is my dad, who died when I was 3. The book is not about Dad, but it's dedicated to him, and I used some of his traits for my character Daniel. The cover artist surprised me by putting Dad's picture on the cover, and I was overjoyed! I know my dad would be proud that his only daughter has written and published this book. <br /><br />I was born and raised in Independence, Missouri, in 1932, which is the year of my novel. So that makes me an old lady, doesn't it? <br /><br />Cheers!<br />Bonnie Turner xx<br /><br />Web page: http://my.athenet.net/~aurorawolf<br /><br />Lulu page: http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=79051Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-28149294771314655782011-08-03T12:46:26.781-05:002011-08-03T12:46:26.781-05:00This sounds very much like a book I would enjoy. ...This sounds very much like a book I would enjoy.

As you know, am not much active with blog hopping these days which am sure you can forgive me. I didn't forget you though because you know how much I always enjoy your posting.<br /><br />"To Face the Winter Naked" - by the title alone, it already gives me a clear idea of hardships and difficulties which are not aliens to me, personally. My kids and I went through that stage of life. Also, Bonnie Turner is quite familiar to me but am not sure if I ever get any opportunity to read any of his/her books. My library is expanding that makes most of the part of my little home and there's more to catch up with my reading. <br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to ask if you are still in the same address. I am going home within two months and time and chance permitting, I might drop a postcard at the PO for you.<br /><br />This will be my first to pay my homeland a visit. Okay, bedtime now.<br /><br />Hugs to you. Hope you're well.Indayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591131757572208375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-39620436243474100252011-08-03T08:45:52.885-05:002011-08-03T08:45:52.885-05:00troutbirder,

REading since my April 22 stroke is better than Tylenol for easing evening aches. But I have no use of left hand yet, and physically keeping a book open and turning a page sometimes gets iffy when I am comfy in bed, relaxing with a book for a bit before lights out. Review and comments have given me much to think about!
