Jonetta’s Comments (group member since Nov 25, 2014)

Jonetta’s comments from the 2-3-4 Challenge group.

I tried the Libby app earlier and am not ready for that (deleted it based on what you all have stated). I will continue to use Overdrive on my laptop until they take it from my greedy little hands! Right now, I’m given the option on my laptop to send it to Libby or Overdrive. I prefer listening on my iPhone books app.

FYI, change is hard and I found the screens confusing on Libby. Conversely, one of my friends, who never used Overdrive, loves Libby.

Thanks, Lieke!

Wow, Anita! 50 years is an incredible milestone. Congratulations to you both.

So glad to see you got the ARCs for Identity and Drowning. Grab the popcorn for the last one.

Have a wonderful reading month!

The Debra Webb series…is it connected to another? I’m always worried about that. Hope you enjoy the last Bree Taggert.

Happy reading!

Nice list, Viki! Congrats on being done with school (for the moment?).

Enjoy!

Loving your list, Robin! Is this your first time reading Lover Mine? That book is amazing.

Enjoy everything!

Unfortunately, this has been going on for a few days. It’s very disconcerting. Since I went almost three weeks without getting notifications (now fixed), I was afraid to report it.

I found that if I refresh, that’s sometimes enough. It’s definitely a really weird thing.

Also, if you open a topic and then save, you get the page that says something went wrong but the top of it says your topic was posted. If you use the backup arrow twice and then refresh, you’ll see your post.

Amazon doesn’t seem to be giving this site priority.

1. Did you complete and/or get up to date in any series this month?
2. Did you start any new series? If so, what were they? Will you continue?
3. Did you move forward in any series (that you didn’t complete or finish)? How many?
4. Any standout or 5 star books read? Why did you love it/them?
5. Overall summary of your reading month?

Yeah, guess we will find out tomorrow.

Phrynne, that’s weird because my library says any of my standing recommendations will go to Overdrive. I don’t see anything that says there will no longer be an Overdrive.

I finished listening to The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz and it was brilliant…until the end.

I’m listening to The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren and loving it so far.

Thank you, Lauren. I’m going to stick with Overdrive as long as I can.

Lauren, can you still transfer books to iTunes like you can do with Overdrive? I listen to my audiobooks on the iPhone books app.

I’m bummed out that the Overdrive library system is “retiring” the current recommendation system where you could recommend a book and be automatically placed in the hold queue if it was eventually purchased. Your place in the hold queue was based on when you made the recommendation.

Effective May 1, you can “express interest” in a title only in Libby, which I don’t use. You’ll be notified if it’s added but not be added to your holds.

I’ve relied on this system to avoid long waits for popular authors and titles. For the life of me, I don’t understand the difference between Libby and Overdrive.

Wow! You’ve some fantastic reading ahead of you, Sharon. Enjoy the month!

And I’m glad you’re feeling more like yourself.

Great list, Lieke! I’m also trying to squeeze in Vera Wong. Enjoy your reading!

Loving your category descriptions, Elaine! Enjoy your reading.
