5. Book Shepherd “Fun” of the Week …
This Week Under The Book Shepherd’s Roof:
It’s cold out there and I’m grateful that hubby John and I got the lights in and tucked away from outside before New Year’s officially hit, quickly followed by the massive take down and put away of decorations that flowed through the house. Initially, the house felt “naked” … so much of the Christmas colors gone, gone, gone. Then, a calming and settling; as if it allowed for a
“clearing” and set up for the new year I am looking forward to.
I love movies and tuned into the Golden Globes Sunday with my neighbors. I’ve added several of the winners to my must see list, including Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. A long-time fan of Frances McDormand, I’m not sure how I missed this one, but I’ll find it and settle in with popcorn. The John Paul Getty flick, All the Money in
the World, has also been on my must see list for January. LadyBird looks like fun, so it’s added to my list and Amazon got my attention with what look like a quirky series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—I’m going to check it out when I have a few hours to just veg out.

3. How to Create a Book Store on Your Website and Make Money from Others Books
In 2016, Ingram bought a company called Aerio. Today, its software allows any individual (meaning you) or to create stores, get opt-in customer relations, and curate a selection of products, books, DVDs, graphic novels and more from the Ingram catalog of 15 million books and products. That’s very hot news indeed—it means that you can feature any item from the Ingram catalog; post it on your website store; do a one line promo as to why you recommend; have a hot link and WOOT … if there is a click through, you get a referral fee. I like that and there if you are already in IngramSpark customer—there is NO COST to set it up.To get started and learn more, here’s a blog I wrote on it here.

5 Book Shepherd “Fun” of the Week …
I’m a big fan of the Maine Coon, spending some time with my new friend in Lake Chapala, Mexico last spring. I was packing up and Buster decided “no go” and parked in my suitcase for the night! He’s a big boy!
If you don’t know the Coon, discover one big cat that “trills” vs. meowing. Very cool cat. Share your kitty videos, pics, stories with me—would love to see them. Discover
here.
