lol...yeah, so hard...but the coupon was only for 1 day...i still need to get my audible sale books which ends on tuesday (I think) - they have another 4.95 sale going on

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

As long as I'm reset to zero, I decided I might as well bust it good, lol. I went on PBS and ordered 5 more Romancing America books. These are anthologies of novella's set in different states (one state per book). They are all christian romances and a good majority of them are historical but not all. So far, I've enjoyed most of them and it's helped alot with a Read Around the USA Challenge. Tired of paying $7.99 each at Walmart or Kmart so started searching for them on PBS.

I figured I can jump in but probably won't make much of a splash (lol)

seriously...but loved the 60% off coupon at fictionwise for ebooks...lol! plus the 4.95 audible sale...i should be good for a while now

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

I don't blame ya Dee. Take advantage of whatever holiday sales you can. I was surprised my used bookstore is having a sale. I need to go back on friday and register for prizes. Yesterday I scrounged their rack of old paperbacks for a quarter each. hehe It's a small shelf but I found a few things.

[Dee]

I took advantage of itbecause there is a big challenge we do in another one of my groups - its like pick it for me on steroids...it runs the entire quarter and basically, you make a recommendation for and receive 1 from everyone who signs up - we have like 59 right now...the goal is to read as many as possible...trying to get to a minimum of half-way...
