My top four books for 2023

How I decide on what books to buy!

If a close friend suggests or I run across the title of a book that interests me, I have developed the following list of steps I complete. They are primarily to keep from spending too much money on my favorite activity which is: (1) READING or (2) LISTENING to books being read to me. I loved fiction in the past (still do), but am now focused on nonfiction books on "How to Change Beliefs Hidden Deep in My Subconscious" so that I can create a new personality/ego before I leave this body behind.

1. I check it out on Amazon.ca or .com. for: (a) date; (b) price; (c) author ; (d) Amazon write-up, and (e) reviews. If still interested, I go on to step 2.

2. I use Google and AI to check out the title.

3. I use Google and AI to check out the author

4. I check out if I can get an online copy for free.

5. I buy a copy on Audiobooks (usually for one credit) and I do it because the book is seldom in a library yet.

My last step is to buy a paperback edition if I want to re-read and make notes.

If I am super impressed I send copies to friends and relatives who may feel the same!

Hi Jeff,

On our recent cruise in the Canary Islands, I found this guy making an excellent living selling his books on the street in the Canary Islands and thought of you! I will post on his books shortly!

Jeff,

By the way, what book are you presently reading? My fiction novel is "Searching For The South". How is your present writing proceeding?

Unfortunately it has been very slow, Roger! There have been a lot of things going on right now! I hope to double down in 2024!

Have you checked out bookmarketing pro? I may try them in 2024 if I get into Ebooks.
