I spent part of this week traveling to and from Indianapolis for a trade show. While I was cruising through LaGuardia and the Indianapolis airports, I spent some time at the Hudson Bookstores. I was surprised how many of the BIG books like Linda Fairstein's BAD BLOOD were not there (I was looking as I had told a fellow passenger to read it). While I know every book cannot be every place, I am very frustrated whenever I cannot find what I am looking for in a store. I am not even talking about how hard it often is to find a book in a store. I am talking about it just not being there. Thus, please see our poll and question this week, which ask about this very subject. Are you able to find the books that you want in bookstores? I ask since there are times I throw up my hands in utter frustration since I feel like I am on a quest for the Holy Grail for a title that SHOULD be there.

It's gotten really cold here in New York, and they are saying snow is on the way. I have decided in my next life I want to be a weatherperson. Think about it. You can declare it's going to snow, or rain, or be sunny, be wrong and keep your job. You can get jazzed by the potential for bad weather. Seriously, I think it's amazing that these folks can send an entire city of people out of the house with umbrella in hand. Hmmmmm...and to think all I want to do is send you out of the house --- or into the house for that matter --- with a book you love in hand!
