I just LOVE Tonya Kappes’ novels – so cute for a light-hearted mystery read. I have found her books online at Walmart’s website, as well as from time to time at Target stores when they have a “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” sale. You can even find some of her older titles in vintage paperbacks at Etsy stores, which is how I managed to get all of the “Grandberry Falls” titles.
If you’re looking for something a bit more affordable, Scribd has a subscription model that allows you to read several of her titles every month for a flat fee. And, used bookstores like Better World Books can often be found that donate a portion of their proceeds to programs that promote literacy. Tonya’s stories are like a big hug and half the fun is searching out her various titles.

I was really interested by this post because it seemed to me that the way we perceive ‘ownership’ of digital objects is to per použití much less ‘real’ than physical objects. But really the core of any story – the emotions, the characters, the plot twists and turns – is just the same whether printed on screen or on paper.
I think we want physical copies of our favorite stories because they serve as a kind of monument to our fandom. They show others that a story is important to us. And, preferably, they sit on a shelf in our home.
So maybe buying an official t-shirt or print would serve the same purpose for now. At least then you’d be showing your love for TBATE and paying the creator directly for his work. Something to consider.

Availability in non-US countries may vary. Unfortunately Book Depository, who used to offer free shipping worldwide, ceased to exist a couple of years ago. So you might want to check Amazon in your country, or look for a larger online retailer from your region, such as Blackwell’s in the UK, who still ship worldwide. The ISBN for the US hardcover is 978-1524759780. This should allow any bookstore to get a copy for you.

I never pay retail for DK travel guides for my vacations, but they are my staple. You can usually get the latest edition at a flat discount price at a warehouse club like Sam’s Club. For the more unusual subjects that DK publishes, try looking on independent sellers’ websites on Etsy – lots of vintage shops now specialize in out-of-print books, including DK titles. I recently bought a 1992 ‘DK Astronomy’ for a beautifully presented package of books, wrapped in cellophane with a ranger’s hat on top, delivered to me from a store in Vermont.

Indie authors can also set up an online store front using services like Payhip or BookFunnel to sell their ebooks. So I went to the author Jennifer Francis’ website (which I found in her Facebook reader group and on her social media profiles – her website link is in her bios). As an author she can now sell her ebook (with sometimes bonus material) directly to customers, which of course means she gets even more money than she would from Amazon. You can easily find an author’s website by doing a Google search for the author’s name and the words author website (e.g. Jennifer Francis author website). If an author has a website to buy her books online, you can usually download her book in different formats to read on your e-readers (e.g. EPUB, PDF).

Yes, it works. The mechanic is sound. I always make sure to add a little personal message to the email field provided by Kobo, even if it is just a single sentence explaining why I chose that particular book for them. The tiny bit of personalization needed to turn a impersonal transaction into a nice gift is to add that sentence. It shows that you did more than just click on a link to buy them a book. You actually thought about it. That single sentence is the most important part of the entire process.

You can find Dolly's children's books, including "Billy the Kid Makes It Big" at most Walmart stores between the regular picture books. There are also online copies of her books, including autographed copies, that can be found on websites such as eBay. Many of her books are also available on Audible.com for audiobook download.
Her books are found at many local fairs and country-themed gift shops here in Tennessee. I can recommend any of her children’s books as they are always fun and often have a lot of humor and heart to them. We even have a handmade “patchwork” scarf that my niece made inspired by Dolly’s “Coat of Many Colors”.

Honestly, this one didn’t really work for me because of the platform. Galatea’s interface is kind of stressful for me with all the fake ‘typing’ bubbles and pressure to keep ‘buying’ coins. I’d really love to read this story in a more physically owned format, or on Kindle where I can read in comfort, free from ads. I suppose other people won’t have the same problem with Galatea though. As long as you’re aware that the story is only on this platform then you should be able to find it alright. Just, I don’t know, I’m a bit of a reading app purist and this one doesn’t really work for me despite the title sounding really interesting.

For audiobooks, I prefer to borrow them through my library app. Usually, there is a long waitlist for the latest Coulter book, and I just put my name on the waitlist and then sort of forget about it until my hold comes in months later.
A constant waitlist for the latest Coulter novel by the library is a metric. The waitlist would dwindle down to nothing if there was no interest in reading the latest Coulter novel. However, a long waitlist, which remains for months, indicates sustained high demand for the latest Coulter novel by the library’s audio book patrons. So for the audio crowd, the answer is embedded in the library queue algorithms. The data says yes, people are still eager for the next one, so she must still be making them.
For the audio fans out there, the answer is embedded in the library’s queue algorithms. The data speaks for itself: as long as there’s a long waitlist for months to come, she must be writing more Coulter novels for them to listen to.

It might be worth contacting local art schools or university fine art departments to ask if they have any students who might be interested in taking on a commission for a portfolio piece – students who are studying sculpture, model-making, or even set design for performance would likely be really interested in a job like this. You’d be paying the fee of an emerging artist, at a price that’s likely to be lower than you’d expect to pay for a piece of this quality and specifications, and getting a really individual and innovative piece for your book nook. As with any commission, it’s essential that you set out clear references and expectations for the artist, but generally students have access to great resources and are incredibly enthusiastic about their work. A less conventional approach but with the potential for a wonderful collaboration and a great story behind your book nook. Note that the artist’s schedule will be dictated by their academic program, so may be restricted during term time.
