Please Welcome Author LAURA KASISCHKE!

[Fricka]

True, becke, but it's not as much fun as when you can actually put your hands ON the book and leaf through it! I do buy online, but I find that when I browse in a bookstore, I'm more apt to find a book that I wasn't necessarily looking for, but  the cover looks interesting, and so I buy it.

I guess it is possible that each Barnes and Noble store makes its own decision about where to place a book. I'm still wondering why the store would choose to put Laura's book in Literature and Fiction rather than in Mystery, or even perhaps put copies, plural, of her work in both sections. I know I saw other titles from other authors  that I've seen in mystery sections in the library and other bookstores, that for some reason were sitting in the Literature and Fiction section.

I agree - I love the smell and feel of books. I never leave a bricks-and-mortar bookstore without at least a couple books!

I've run into this problem with a couple of authors. Jenny Crusie's books are usually in Literature and Fiction instead of Romance, and I'm never sure where to look for Karen Rose's books (mystery or romance). Sometimes I luck out and find them in New Releases - that way it's easy!

Welcome Laura

I received a copy of The Raising in my Easter basket.  Can't wait to start!

I have the same trouble when I go to my local bookstore Fricka, so if there's a particular book(s) I want I just go to the desk and ask them to get it while I browse around the shelves. it seems that all bookstores no matter the brand file items differently and don't get me started on the cross-genre items, like paranormal or fantasy they could be filed in any number of places, I've even seen books in series placed in different areas that's confusing and irritating.
