A Touch of Humor to Kick Start the Week
Hope your week is off and running in the right direction. Any new books on your TBR list? You have at least 1,000 to choose from each day. How about some publishing tidbits you’d like to share?
Wow! Lots of books! Thanks for the interesting post. Looking forward to checking out the links. 🙂

That's a lot of books. I'm not grateful for any sale I get.
And a million books available on the Kindle right now.
Seriously? 1000 books a day!?! Whoa.
And that fridge reminds me of mine when my three kids were all little ones. We'd go through 7 gallons of milk a week!
I've always said the only thing I'll ever regret is I won't live long enough to read all the books I want to read. Now I know it for sure!
It's no surprise that publishers are looking for MG mysteries – I adored Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys when I was that age! 🙂
1000 a day is both depressing and exciting all at the same time! Thanks for the plug. 😀 I'm very excited!!
1000 a day? how insane is that!
Wow. A thousand a day. No wonder I'm having issues deciding on what to read next.
1,000? Whoa! The competition is going to be steep on Thursday.
My kids totally think I am the only person qualified to see what there is to eat in the fridge and cupboards. What's up with that?
So many books…
That family drinks -a lot- of milk!!
Great post:)
I'm also surprised that 1000 books are published everyday!

Wow! I had no idea that 1000 books were published a day. That's a lot of books. Thanks for sharing the tidbit. Looks like none of us realized that.
One thousand?!!? No wonder there are so many terrific books I'm not aware of.
So many books…so little time.
Like Al Diaz, I can see why it's so difficult to stand above the crowd with there's so much coming out in the publishing world, no matter which route taken. WOW!
I'm starting the week off on a happy note revealing the cover for my novella, Frailties of the Bond. It's a YA story with a bite (hehe!)
That's a lot of books on daily basis. No wonder why it is so hard to stand above from the crowd.
Well, my week is starting with signal. Let's hope it stays like that. 🙂
A thousand books a day? Whoa…
