I'm too nerdy to have a social life but not nerdy enough to fit into any subculture.

message 23: by Lisarenee (new)

2038272 Congrats Christy. You surpassed me. Do you actually read the books or listen to them? Also, is there a story behind your picture? Does it have something to do with one of your books? It's unusual. I would think most authors would reveal themselves in their pictures, but then again JR Ward always hides behind glasses.


message 24: by Christy (new)

2225408 I've never listened to a book on tape, I think I would get too distracted. I read all the books but not all of them are that long.

My photo is just one of the few I have of myself and people complain about it the most, so I decided to use it. I have one photo I like to use that shows my face but I'm not winning any beauty contests any time soon and my books are bad enough without my adult acne bringing them down.

Christy,
I hope that everything is ok :(

2038272 Christy said, "I'm in a bet with a friend to read all the books each other owns.

How many does that entail? Is there a deadline or is it the first one done wins? Do you win anything?


Christy stated,"I just don't like getting my hopes up about surviving another week."

So is this because of some medical condition or depression or just because you're not an optomistic person? Please explain.


message 31: by Ahenry (new)

1546959 LOL. We are here for you Christy. Allow us to surround you with our love.


message 32: by Shari (new)

1646127 I'm going to the library tomorrow to see if I can get a copy of your Familiar Scars book Christy, the premise sounds very interesting. I also told Amazon that I wanted it on Kindle - does the author have any impact to their book coming out in an electronic version, do you still get the same commission from an e-version? I've always wondered that!

Can't the latter be the former?

Thank you! I doubt the library will have the book, if it doesn't I'll be willing to send you a PDF version for free.

I make a little less for an ebook version, but it's still about $0 so it's all the same lol
