I don't believe that books are coming to an end. I enjoy reading blogs on line but could never read a full book like that. There is something about the feel of the book in your hands, the crackling of the pages as they turn - reading on the computer can never compete with that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634096295956313230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209554659260661100.post-3504346415350619332008-10-22T08:22:00.000-05:002008-10-22T08:22:00.000-05:00Hear ya, Debbie.

I've done a lot of things wrong in my parenting, but I have managed to raise four incredible readers who walk around with a book in their hands at all times. There is nothing like the real item.

I always try to remember how long it too so many to get their books out there and the key is to not give up. I like the story of the woman who finally tried a major publisher and they took her book! Awesome! I find myself starting small because I don't think it is worth more than that.
