A good read, and e-Bay is wonderful...
Category Book Reviews
First off, I finished Phillip Margolin's latest book Ties That Bind. It's a crime thriller based in Portland Oregon, and it involves a defense attorney that finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy involving a secret group of powerful members of society. For one, I think it's a good story... Not likely in real life, but a good tale. And it also is an interesting twist to read a novel like this that is set in your own city. You can actually visualize what is taking place as you've been there. This is probably no big thing to those of you who live in New York or Chicago, but it's not as common out here...
And e-Bay is so cool... I've sold a lot of used books on Amazon, so I'm into the concept of personal internet retailing. I've probably bought more on e-Bay than I've sold there, but I've done both. My wife is going to a quilting camp this summer (whatever...) and wanted to raise some funds for it. She dug out some of her quilts and stuff yesterday, I took the digital photos, and we posted the items up there. To me, I'm thinking that there's little chance this stuff would sell. And of course, I was WRONG. She already sold one set of blocks on a Buy It Now setting, and she's got opening bids on much of the other stuff...
