Well done Janine!!

still reading #4 but it's almost half way done so I'm hoping #5 will be a quick read :P

I'm hoping to get to #5 before the end of the month... might be pushing it a bit. Didn't reach the 10 I'd have preferred, but 5 is better than none :D

Thanks Gina - Message received :D

You are right Mish! I hope it does encourage people to explore that genre a bit more. It's a shame you didn't enjoy it... Oh well. Maybe the next book you pick up will be better :)

Can I ask how much of that was cover? To get an idea of pricing for editors?

It all adds to the polish of a well finished book doesn't it Gina?! I agree with you! It's a necessity not a nicety

Most of the books I'm reading at the moment are self published, so I'm pretty sure it's the author and some beta readers who do the editing. I believe paying an editor can get quite pricey...

Anyways - I like to do my bit for them :P

If it's self published does an editor go over it before it's put up?

I thought you had to do all that yourself first? Beta readers and all that stuff.

I'm not sure. I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that a lot of them just aren't editors and don't/can't pay for an editor to look at their work before publishing.

Either that or I'm a spelling and grammar Nazi! (this could also be true :P)

Ok try now Brenda :D

Book done! Review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I'd be keen to see how I take the book when I eventually get there. Having read a fair number of books in that type of genre, I can only hope that it truly is as bad as you say Mish. The review seemed really fair, and it wasn't just that you didn't enjoy the sexy bits, seems like the whole thing was a bit out of sorts.

I would hate for a book like that (if it truly is that horrible) to be a representation of that genre when there's so many others out there that are fantastic!

Hmm, might have to give that a go! Thanks KL

Book # 2 is outta here!

Review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Book #3 is in PDF format and the text is too small, so I'm starting book 4 as I wait for the author to see if she's got a .mobi version for me :P

Shoosh - don't mention the New releases!! *sneaks around* I'm avoiding them too by burying my head in the sand for the next 3 weeks!

LOL Gina! I have done that before! It's a very short, but great feeling... then you get all warm and fuzzy when you think of the new books you just added!

That's brilliant Brenda! I'm trying to not add any more to my TBR list. I closed down my topic offering reviews and I'm avoiding the 'recommendations' area on GR like the plague!!

Now to just get another 18 hours added to the day for reading and writing and I'd be set :D

Only a 1584 I think Brenda :D hahah

I don't think I'll get to my 15 book goal, but that's ok. I'm into chapter 2 of my writing so I'm happy :D

book #2 is almost done and dusted...
