Buy Spoonin' Online Here Thank you to all the book clubs around the nation who entered your club into the contest, and I hope that we can meet sometime in the near future.  My book focus for August is The Perfect Shoe, a delightfully humorous novel about December Elliott's quest for a Stiletto of a man - tall, striking and irresistibly sexy. But first she has to get rid of her flip-flop  ex-boyfriend, and few other ill-fitting "shoes" along the way. Be sure to enter this month's Perfect Shoe Contest for your chance to win a pair of beautiful, custom hand painted pumps.  Click here for full details.  Thanks for 10,000 Hits! Just a few days ago, I posted a quick blog sharing and celebrating a milestone in my blog's existence - 10,000 hits in just 90 days.  To some, that may be nothing but to me, in comparison to what my site traffic looked like between May of 2009 and March of 2011, it was a pretty big deal! So how did I go from 342 hits in 2 years, to over 10,000 hits in 90 days? I've posted several of my strategies on my site on the Marketing Tool Kit page in order to share them with you. It took some work; oh yes indeed, but as I watched my traffic grow day over day and week over week, it motivated me to go a little further, push a little harder and stay up a little later. I'll be adding more tools and strategies this month. Take advantage of what's there, then share your results. Meet VGWaymer of VGWaymer Illustration and Design Velicia Waymer grew up around musicians and artists so its no wonder that she does what she's always loved doing . . . creating.  Velicia studied fashion illustration and graphic design at the New England School of Art & Design in Boston, Massachusetts.

    The Perfect Book!

The book was the best I've read by far! I loved the ending but I do not want to give it away! At first I thought this book was going to be about shoes, but it's not, it's about finding your true love.

A PAGE TURNER!!!!!

I read this book in two days!! Not only can you relate with how the men are compared to different types of shoes but you can also relate to how December deals with different things in her personal life. This book was very entertaining and makes you laugh out loud at times. When you think you know what's about to happen with December, the unexpected happens and you can't wait to see how it all works out. I'm looking forward to more books from you Kim! Keep up the excellent work!!!

The Perfect Shoe - a novel

Awesome Read!

Today I finally had the chance to finish 'The Perfect Shoe' by Kimberly T. Matthews. This book is worth the hype! LOL I enjoyed every single page from begining to end. There were no dull moments. It was funny, serious, entertaining and enlighting. From the begining, from the synopsis, from the excerpts, I've been hooked on how Kimberly compared shoes to men. It is ever so fitting. If you haven't read anything about her 'shoe men', check out her blogs. The book tells a tale of a woman looking for true love, or in this case 'The perfect shoe.' Reading this book bought out a number of personal feelings and emotions within myself. It made me sit down and work on my plans and goals. She showed the struggle to find a good man, mate in the dating world. She showed how sometimes a sitution might not look so good, or just look plain ol' aweful, but it's not as bad as it seems when you put your mind to it. I just really loved this book. I was eager to read it and it lived up to my expectations!!!! We will be discussing Kimberly's book in our September meeting. More information is forthcoming. Kimberly, that's a great book! Keep up the good work. Look foward to reading more from you!
