The Chronic Consumer

Just like practically everyone else I know, the bad economy has affected me in a bunch of ways. I haven’t been able to shop for and buy fun things, and as a result, haven’t been posting as much on this blog as I used to.

But I hate not updating my blogs, so I’m determined to post at least 3-4 times per week here whether I buy anything or not. Since I don’t have a product to review today, I thought I’d do something different and just let you know what some of the top searches for this blog are. These are the terms that people enter into search engines before ending up on my site. Here are my top 7:

bed bath beyond bankruptcy
stranger than fiction watch
monster energy hoodie
asso soap
colon cleanser
cutco knives
OSIM iSqueez

Actually, I’m kind of surprised by these results, as I never would have thought that, say, Asso Soap and Cutco Knives would be such big hits with my readers. I guess that’s why it’s so important to pay attention to stats!

I haven’t been purchasing as many books as I usually do, mainly because I choose to read free e-texts or go to the library to borrow novels and audiobooks. But one title I’ve been hearing a lot of great buzz about is A Line Between Friends by Michelle Cozzens.

It’s a bestseller on Amazon.com (though they update those stats hourly, so this could be a bit misleading) and has received 21 positive reviews from customers. Twenty-one is not a lot, I know, but this isn’t the only place the buzz is coming from.

At any rate, I’m going to wait until the title is available in paperback, and then order it. For now, I’m putting it on my Wish List so I don’t forget about it!
