[Squire]

Just pre-ordered PS Publishing's 30th Anniversary edition of Skeleton Crew.



Expensive, but ultimately worth it (for me).

Skeleton Crew 30th Anniversary edition

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Oh wow super nice Squire!

[Squire]

Thanks, Janie. I watched your birthday haul the other day and am looking forward to your thoughts on some of those books.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Oh awesome Squire thanks for watching. There are several that I want to get read as soon as I can.

[✨Susan✨]

Thanks Janice, I just picked it up. I loved the Grimnior Chronicles.

[✨Susan✨]

Mad Mouse is on special for $1.99 at Audible.

[Holly]

I've been buying a lot of books from work lately. They're only a dollar; can't go wrong there....am I right?!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Definitely can't go wrong with that Holly!

[Janice]

I picked up a few books today:

Audiobooks:
Hunted
Finders Keepers (pre-order)
Stone of Tymora: Forgotten Realms

And, at the library, used books are $1.00 and I got The Island of Eternal Love.

[Andrea]

This weekend I got:
Joyland, Revival, and Mr. Mercedes all by Stephen King.
Ashfall by Mike Mullins.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Enjoy your new buys ladies!

[Holly]

It's been very hard to resist! That's why I'm running out of room on my desk. lol

[Andrea]

Janie, I couldn't resist the Stephen King books. All brand new books. Revival is a hardback. They were $2.99 each.

[Andrea]

Yesterday I bought a brand new copy of Doctor Sleep for $2.99.

[Mary Beth]

I bought King and Maxwell by David Baldacci and three Victoria Holt books which I got at a flea market. They had a sale, buy 3 books for only $2.50 for all three books. I haven't read any Victoria Holt books in awhile and I really like her!

[Janelle]

I got Outlander! I'll be ready and waiting for out read a long!

[Mary Beth]

Stephanie I've heard that Bird Box is really good! I'd like to know how you like it!

Janelle I have the audiobook on Outlander
I haven't started it yet but need to. I'm just afraid that its a romance. I like time travel and historical fiction, so if its more than a romance I'll like it. I can read a book with romance in it, but it just can't be solid romance. I'll be reading it soon.

[Janelle]

I understand. I don't like a too much romance with the story. I hope it's a great adventure. Amazon does offer the audio for 3.99, so maybe I'll grab that too :^)

[Janelle]

Bird Box sounds good. I guess I missed the sale though.

Wow Andrea, can't beat that! I hear Doctor Sleep was a good one, I still have yet to read it.

[Corey]

I bought a few books in the last couple days at a used bookstore, , , and .

Stephanie, Plum Island was a good one, my first book by Nelson DeMille.

[Mary Beth]

Stephanie I love Nelson Demille! My Dad read The Panther and told me that I had to read it! I read The Lion but haven't read The Panther yet! The Lion was very good. I think Plum Island was my first Deville also Corey! That was years ago but I think I want to read this series, and start at Plum Island. I read The Lion about a year ago. This is a series but the books are stand alones!

[Mary Beth]

I was thinking the same thing while I was writing it. It's a good idea!

[Janelle]

Yes Stephanie! I picked up the first 3 books in the "In Death" series. I have been waiting for the the first book to go on sale for a long time. :^)

[Corey]

The only books I have yet to read are The Panther, and Radiant Angel.

[Corey]

Stephanie wrote: "Corey, The Panther is $1.99 today only on Amazon -- if you have a Kindle... :D"

I do but I prefer the feel of a book, I'm old school, LOL!

[Mary Beth]

I am the same way! I would rather have the book! I love my books! I will listen to an audiobook though and that's only when I need a book quickly and don't want to wait for it to come in from the library. I only get them on YouTube! I usually get my books from flea markets, library book sales, and garage sales. Every once in awhile I go to Barnes and Noble's. I bought King and Maxwell at Meijers and it was on sale.

[Hannah]

I bought The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who played with fire, the girl who kicked the hornets nest, schindlers list, the davinci code, and at dawn we slept for 4.90 at a thrift store.

[Janice]

I need to stop buying and increase my reading speed! I picked up one of SYNC's free offering this week, Lord of the Flies. I know I read it in school but I have no memory of it other than there are a bunch of kids stranded on an island.

Audible has a $4.95 sale this weekend and I got Lock In and Lolita.

[Shelleen]

Janice, I have been borrowing a lot from the library for 2 months and haven't read what is on my tbr bookshelves. So bad lol.

I loved the library when I was a kid, but quit using it when I moved into the country. The fees were high because we didn't belong to the municipality. I moved into the city 3 years ago and joined the library again. I use it sporadically though because I have so many books on my TBR. Yet, I can't seem to break that habit of just going out and buying the books I want. I think it's called addiction.

[Corey]

Went out to my local bookstore today and bought some more books, couldn't resist, LOL! Here's what I brought home, , , and .

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Janice I hear ya about the fees, they are high, this is why I don't use the library.

[Janice]

They were high when I lived in the country because I wasn't part of the municipality. Here the municipalities fund the libraries. So I had to pay the full shot. Now that I live in the city, my fee is $7.50 a year which is very low.

[Shelleen]

I didn't realize that libraries charged fees. I have 2 local libraries and I am in the country. They are free libraries. I guess I wouldn't use them if they charged a fee.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Here if I live within Denton city limits there are no fees, but since I live in the country I believe it is $50/year. We have a library in our small town but it is tiny and they don't offer much.

Shelleen it does not matter if you live in the country as long as you are still a part of that town where the library is located you wont have the fees. I live in a different town, one town over from where the library is, if I were in the country but still a Denton address then I could use the library at no fees. I think they should do it by counties, that would work for me.

[Shelleen]

Once you belong to your local library then you can use about 30 libraries in the region for free. Plus I can ask for books from other libraries in that region and they have a van that picks up books and drops off to the libraries so what my library doesn't carry I can get from another library in the region and it gets dropped off to my library. They do that twice a week. That is free but I would pay a small fee as that uses gas and wear and tear on the van. I guess I am very lucky and assumed that all libraries had a program like that.

[Mary Beth]

Shelleen my library works the same way yours does. I never knew libraries charged fees. All you have to pay is for the library card which the last time I had only had to pay 25 cents.

[Janice]

Every region and country is different as to how libraries are administered. It all depends on how it is funded, I would imagine. One way or another, you probably pay for it in your taxes.

My library membership gives me access to a province-wide ebook and audiobook consortium and I can download as many as 10 titles using Overdrive. My library is affiliated with all the public libraries across the province and I can borrow titles from another library if it's not available at mine. I order it online through my library's website and I pick it up there when it arrives.

[Shelleen]

Janice, We can also do overdrive and ebooks and can do it all online as well. Our libraries are funded through the taxes.
