HERE'S A FUN WEBSITE TO FIND OUT WHAT TYPE OF WRITER YOU SHOULD BE--
You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer
Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.
And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.
Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...
Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!
In the highly competitive world of book retailing, Frugal Muse has pursued a unique formula. If you want a book that is in print but which isn't on hand at our stores, we can usually order the book specifically for you. Special-ordering is one of the services not available at Half Price Books. By special-ordering new books and by carrying new books other than remainders, FRUGAL MUSE is different from the Half Price chain. At the same time, by carrying a huge selection of used books, FRUGAL MUSE is different from Barnes & Noble. We hope you enjoy the Frugal Muse difference!
ABOUT OUR NAME
In Greek mythology, the Muses were goddesses who provided inspiration to humans. If your personal Muse is a frugal, bargain-loving Muse, She'll inspire you to visit our stores!
HERE'S A FUN WEBSITE THAT TELLS WHICH MUSE YOU MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLE--
Your Inner Muse is Thalia
You are most like this playful muse of comedy.
Life is all about laughter to you, and you're a natural comic.
You make people laugh until their sides split.
And you're always up for some play time!
We operate 3 large retail bookstores (each has 6,000 square feet of sales space and more than 80,000 books). In business since 1994. Author signings are always fun events.

The books we list on Amazon are a very tiny fraction of the 80,000+ books available at each of our stores. The number we take in each day and the number we sell each day are way too many to try to list each one that comes in and de-list each one that sells, but we like to provide via Amazon a sampling of what's available to those who drop in to browse at our stores:
Thanks for the friendship! If you need any Christmas presents, my books are good for girls ages 8-12. (Autographed copies on Amazon.com under "Dominoshop".)
