Do you really need to spam a bunch of groups like this? That makes a lot of people less likely to read your books.

I quite liked the sex, birth control and discussions of marriage and children in this book.
The sex was hurried, because that's how Katsa makes decision..."
Fire, the Graceling prequel, doesn't have Katsa in it at all. =[

Yet, in a situation filled with mortal danger and having alone time with the one person you are attracted to, I ..."Tamora Pierce also has women engage in sexual relationships and use birth control. She even has a male character who eats an herb that renders him sterile for 48hrs so that he doesn't get women pregnant. I like how she has it from both sides - and not just having it be the woman's job to prevent pregnancy.
Thanks, Jessica! I hope this little boy gets a ton of cards. =D
Since this is a pretty large group, I figured I'd post this here and hopefully this boy will have a great Christmas!
I meant to post this earlier, but here you go. http://www.zimbio.com/Noah+Biorkman/arti...

This 5 year old boy has cancer and may not live to see Christmas so his family is asking people from around the country to send him Christmas cards early. I just mailed mine out today. =) Let's all help this little boy enjoy himself.

If the majority of people are against having people, our race is fucked.

It's not mushy gushy at all. It's about a girl who is raised as an assassin, how is that mushy?

This is a great idea! I've forwarded Cory's blog to a couple of the YA authors that I talk to. I hope she gets plenty of books for her students!
To put a bookcover in your message click "add book/author" and under the search bar that pops up is an option that says "Add: * Link * Cover" Choose cover and instead of the title, the book cover will be posted in the message.

Probably a bunch more that I can't think of right now. =P
Yeah, $20 for a self-published novella, I'll pass.Also, when did Twitter/Myspace/Facebook become a replacement for having an actual website? If you were really serious about advertising your book, you'd make an actual website for it, not just spam every Goodreads group with the link to your Myspace and Amazon page.
See, I would be a lot more likely to check out this book, if your only two posts in this group weren't advertisements. If you were an established member here, I'd probably give your book a chance, but the way you're posting it, you seem like a spammer. Not trying to be rude or anything, but maybe you should get to know people in the groups before you post advertizements.
I'm going to try and read Catching Fire for sure. I'll probably also read Spanking Shakespeare too. Dunno what else yet.
I can't wait to read Catching Fire! You should totally pass around that ARC of Catching Fire, Lorraine. :D
Usually what I do is make a list of what I plan to read and then go back and update it, using the
There already is a "What are you reading in July" thread here. You can post books you read in July there.
Yeah, none of the book links are working on any of the pages - trivia, profile or groups. =[
