Saturdays I call “Sensible Saturday” on my blog. It’s a day when I tell about new inventions or ideas aimed at saving our planet, or I give suggestions for little things anyone can do. Those suggestions are simple, easy, and often save money. If you’d like to try some of them, you can find an abundance of them in my FREE e-book, Green Riches: Help the Earth & Your Budget. More than 2200 people have already downloaded it. You can find it at your favorite e-book seller or go to Smashwords.com and search Jackie O’Donnell. Again, it’s totally free for you to download and use.

Keep Your Privacy Private
Californians are getting the power to protect themselves. What is your state or country doing?
Starting in 2020, Californians will have the power to control whether or not online companies can keep or sell our data. Currently, online companies collect all sorts of information about us and use it either to bombard us with advertising or profit from it by selling it to others who attack us with ads…and worse.
Although the new law isn’t as strong as the one in Europe, it’s the strongest in the U.S.
Start bombarding your lawmakers with demands that they enact similar legislation. We all deserve to avoid giving up part of our private lives every time we search or buy on the internet, go to a website, or download a movie or e-book.
Remember: Their taking our data isn’t just a bother to us; their having our information can also endanger us, especially the most vulnerable among our family and friends.
A Day to Enjoy
Sit back. Relax. And enjoy…a good book. It’s National Read a Book Day. Read something funny, or mind-blowing, or mind-stretching, or even trashy. Read some biography or poetry. Just read.
You may not have time to browse the library down the street from you, so here’s an idea: e-books. Sites like Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and Kobo have a ton of e-books to choose from. Or you can read one of my six FREE e-books. Get descriptions and locations for a FREE download by going to http://www.jackieodonnell.net/book-previews. The easiest place to download them is Smashwords.com.
Enjoy!
Personal Note
Here’s some personal news to pass on to you. My paper-book, Small Things Count, is now also available in e-book format. If you’re interested in learning what it’s about, please go to https://smthingscount.com, where you’ll find information about the book, sample pages, critical reviews, readers’ comments, and how you can buy either the paper or the e-book version (with direct links to the book’s page at e-book sellers).
Please note that, although it’s written from a Christian point of view, it’s for anyone who wants to help make this a more peaceful, loving world. (No preaching in it.)
I also invite you to read about my other five e-books, including a book of poetry (God Sneezed) and a free download of a my book on economic ways to help the environment. See http://www.jackieodonnell.net/book-previews for descriptions and where to find them.
Happy reading!
Personal Note: GOD SNEEZED
For those of you who have told me you like my poems: I’ve just added a 5th E-book to the great, wide, sometimes-questionable cyber world. It’s a collection of my poems–GOD SNEEZED is the title. Obviously not a collection of preachy, religious poems, although some do have spiritual overtones. If you’re interested, you can sample the book at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/518169. It’s available there right now and will be at most other E-tailers soon.
