Makes me so happy that they're reading! :D <br /><br />Me too. Awe, Chapters are amazing! The chain also owns Indigo and Coles stores too, so there are plenty of them, and hopefully that means they're here to stay! It is sad. :( I feel so bad that all those Borders are closed. It sounded like they had amazing bookstores. <br /><br />I am! Awe, that's okay! :DAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-39933155810234778952012-06-07T23:55:28.098-04:002012-06-07T23:55:28.098-04:00That would be amazing if you could do something bo...That would be amazing if you could do something book-related for the kids in your area.<br /><br />I think I need to check out those tips too. I'm a terrible networker. And I really wish we had a Chapters. Those sound like great bookstores. We lost so many to bankruptcies and closures that we only have a few bookstores locally. It's so sad!<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying Armchair BEA.

I try to pretend I'm not and I smile lots so people always think I'm a lot more outgoing than I am...but inside I'm a ball of nerves! haha I think the more you put yourself out there though the better it gets. I've even noticed that with making friends in classes. If you make the first move and continue to do it in all your classes it gets easier, and you make some awesome friends. :) It's so hard! It's one of those things that you hope will be easy, but definitely isn't always. Thanks for your comment, Ashley, and for admitting that you're shy about real life networking and a bit afraid of that too! :)AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-78517739822009860182012-06-06T20:53:45.710-04:002012-06-06T20:53:45.710-04:00Great idea, Judith! :D I haven't actually.

But, there still aren't too many that come to Edmonton, either. It tends to get skipped and authors go to somewhere in BC and then Quebec and Ontario typically. I think I'm gonna have to start looking into things that like that too. Great suggestions! :)AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-19301544783167067512012-06-06T20:50:49.071-04:002012-06-06T20:50:49.071-04:00It does sound like fun. :) I hope that you get the...It does sound like fun. :) I hope that you get the chance to do some in the future. :)AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-16456379801667231112012-06-06T20:50:15.763-04:002012-06-06T20:50:15.763-04:00Thanks, Amanda! :DThanks, Amanda! :DAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660257471527268870.post-24614861921999240232012-06-06T20:50:00.295-04:002012-06-06T20:50:00.295-04:00Yeah, there aren't very many near me either.
