Tati What do you guys do when you have loads of reviews to write, but just can't bring yourselves to do it?

Buy yourself some really nice chocolates or cupcakes or something, and then reward yourself every time you get a review done ☺ It's also best to do them as soon as you finish the book so that they don't build up too much.


Midnights_Darling -The Emo Kittie (theemokittie) Currently reading Bad for You (Sea Breeze, #7) by Abbi Glines by Abbi Glines.

I'm a massive fan of the author! If anyone loves or likes her books feel free to add me ;)

Tati So, I had The Sin Eater’s Daughter (The Sin Eater’s Daughter, #1) by Melinda Salisbury pre-ordered on Amazon, and last night I got an e-mail saying the order had been cancelled... It seems they have pulled the book from the site!

That was a book I was really excited for!

How annoying is that?!amazon UK says you can pre-order the paperback but not the hardback. do you think they might have pulled the hardback version?


message 5211: by Tati (new)

Tati I don't know... I can only buy the Kindle version of books in English...

I sent a tweet to the author, and she doesn't know why this happened

It's annoying when you really wanted it ☹ They don't even have a kindle version on amazon uk.


message 5213: by Tati (new)

Tati Really?? That's weird

I find that quite a few new books don't have kindle versions over here. you can't get the kindle version til much later for some unknown reason.

Heather | 10157 comments Beatrice how long will this last?

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
My book buying bans never last more than a couple of hours!


message 5221: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Sarah mine either!


message 5222: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments True, but I really wanna try to not just obsessively click that buy button :p

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments I have bought so many books last year that I had to buy another book shelf! :/ :/


message 5224: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I gave up on bookshelves, I have to hide books under my desk and in my wardrobe!

Goodreads won't let me update! it's really annoying!


message 5225: by Samia (new)

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments Sarah, haha! I'll have to give up bookshelves too! I'm not even 25 and my room is full of books! I so feel for my future husband! poor guy won't have any place to sleep! :p

Hi guys, anybody know anything about ibooks? can you use the ibooks app to read other books, so like epub copies that you might have? sorry for the random question but i know nothing about ibooks!


message 5228: by Tati (last edited Jan 08, 2015 02:06AM) (new)

Tati iBooks is the one from Apple, right? If so, yes, you can read ePub files with it. You can also read PDF files, though they do not display so well on iBooks, according to my experience

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Thanks Tatiana ☺ I don't own a single apple product so I have no idea!


message 5230: by Tati (new)

Tati Before I got my Kindle, I used an iPod touch to read, and I found that ePubs adjusted better to the screen size. As for the PDF files, I had to keep zooming in and out to be able to read them


message 5231: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
the kindle is like that with pdf's as well, it can get a bit annoying!


message 5232: by Tati (new)

Tati Really? Haven't tried PDFs with it, I convert everything into MOBI


message 5233: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Yeah, they don't show up like mobi formatted books at all, they come up as the full page on the screen, and you have to zoom in to be able to read it.

Heather | 10157 comments Would someone like to give me a list of 12 books to read before the end of this year?

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments This is gonna sound weird, I know...
How do you cut a hole in the tube with toothpaste? The hole may not be seen. I wanna do a prank on my boyfriend *evil grin*


message 5239: by Tati (new)

Tati I wouldn't cut a hole, but maybe pricking it with a pin or something?


message 5240: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Scott | 2367 comments @Heather, you should try doing one for every letter of the alphabet (if you want more than 12) or do a TBR jar :)


message 5241: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Since Jan 23 is National Reading Day, I figured it'd be a great opportunity to do my own little challenge: I'll try to read three books (at least 100 pages long) during the weekend, Friday to Sunday. Does anyone want to join me in this unofficial challenge? :)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments I have to start running. Any advice on how to keep the motivation? I hate being active lol :P

I just bribe myself. 20 minutes on the treadmill, and I can have a cupcake. or 20 minutes 5 days in a row and I can buy a new book ☺ Having a pedometer to track how far you're going is good too ☺


message 5247: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Tati, well... I kind of have to be able to run 5 km in about six months time, so yeah :)

Sarah, now that's a good one! Except that I'm a book buying ban lol. But maybe if I run 15 times a month, I could buy one. That's motivation for sure!


message 5248: by Tati (new)

Tati Irene,forgive me for asking, but why??
