A Live Tree !

     Yes, that's right, we got a live tree and it's really pretty.  It's only about 4' and fits perfect in our windows.  Guess what ?  That cats do not bother it.  In fact they actually jump up beside it and go to sleep.  Isn't that great.  They are so cute.  We got everyone a stocking and I went ahead and bought all our animals presents.  I  bought some really cute boxes.  The are all ready decorated so I put dog toys and cat toys in them.  Our tree looks very pretty with the presents underneath.
     I just happened to be on Amazon looking at books (duh!) and on the bottom of one of the pages the title of a book caught my eye.  Fall of the Giants by Ken Follett.  I have wanted to get this since I first read about it last August.  I love his other books, Pillars of the Earth, and World without End.  I read where it was coming out the end of September and was very excited about it.  Then I saw the price for Kindle. WHAT!  19.99 and 19.40 for hardback.  I mean come on.  Ken, I love your writing but let's be reasonable.  There is no way I am paying that much for your book on Kindle.  Getting back to what was at the bottom of the page......This was a discussion about the price.  I did not realize other people felt the same way I did.  In fact, if what I read is true, they have a boycott on the book and only rated it 3 stars.  That is not from the content (which I understand the book is great) but because of the price.  I have to say I agree.  It seems the publisher is trying to insult the Kindle Nation by making it more then the hardback.  Now, I ask you, what in the world is that all about.  I have to hand it to all the outraged Kindle readers who are protesting, boycotting, and writing emails and there are a lot of them but what the publisher doesn't realize is in my quiet way I am also doing the same.  I do believe there are many, many people who feel like I do.  Maybe we don't scream and yell.  We don't write letters or start boycotts but we will, in our quiet way protest and bring you to our way of thinking.  It's the ones you never hear from who can stop the production and you will never know why.  Tootles
