Postcards From the Bookstore – Introduction

moving items -couch, canvases, tv, lamp, books, typewriter, boots, umbrella, bunny unicorn toy, empty shelf, frame of umbrella
'home'
This is my new place. I have left my previous home (which you can browse here anytime) to start anew.
    This is not a book blog, more like a blog that talks about books and maybe veering off to ramblings about movies/tv shows/music that I consume, fiction that I write, art that I made or anything that interest me so anything goes.

    Once upon a time, I used to collect postcards and every time I go to a bookstore, I would purchase a couple of them and sometimes I would send them to one of my pen pals. I named this blog 'Postcards From the Bookstore' because of that.
    Questions, comments, thoughts, complaints or friendly hellos, email me at lissawrites(at)gmail(dot)com.

Sincerely,
Lissa

  1. Now this is a honest question...why did you decide to make a new blog? It sounds like the content will be more or less the same, and you lost all your GFC followers in the process. Why not rebrand your former blog?

    Anyhow, I'm here for the ride 👋.

    1. Roberta R.: I would rebrand my blog but I just got into the idea of starting over. I have done this several times actually so I'm kind of use to losing readers. So maybe I hope readers would follow me to this new blog but that's just a hope.

      When I think about again, I think I might be leaning toward to make this new blog a book blog though it's just a thought at the moment. I really would like to read more and review more books and write more book-related posts.

      Also, I sort of don't like the name not matching the url. I wasn't bothered by it before but now, I kind of don't like it.

      But maybe anything I say or think is an excuse to start over. I don't know. Sometimes I think I'm becoming a stale blogger and creating new blogs always makes me think I'm moving forward and doing something new other than sitting at my computer and reading blogs and watching television.

      Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day

      I can relate to that.
