2014 New Year 'Reading' Resolutions

[Sarah Elizabeth]

we keep offending people who like it though so we're being nice ☺

[onceuponatimeareview]

So what is Teardrop about. I'm thinking about buying it.is worth my money?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think it's a real love-hate kind of book. if you like the authors other books you'll like teardrop.

[Tati]

Thanks for the help with Amazon! I'm having a blast!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay! Glad you're getting some freebies!

[Tati]

Yep, got 20 today!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oooh! That's good! Any ones that look really good?

[Tati]

There was tha Saving Mars you mentioned somewhere in this topic, I think.

In the end, I got:


And some classics as well.

[Abi]

I liked Amethyst. :)

Did you get ? I really liked them, and they're usually free. :)

[Tati]

Abbie, of those you posted, only Dying to Forget was free. I'll be going back for it, then.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Love & ! two of my favourite books ☺ Scarlet dagger isn't bad either ☺

[rachel, x]

@Tatiana Awesome haul! Gotta love freebies. Just wanted to say that Tayla and I are going to be buddy reading Scarlet Dagger and Vampire University if you want to join us. :))

@Abbie Thanks. I just go 44 and Dying to Forget. :))

[Tati]

Rachel, when are you reading them?

[Alley]

I want desperately to read 200 books this year. 2 years now, I've set that as my original goal and changed it later on.

So I guess I have quite a list of books I HAVE to read by the end of the year.

[rachel, x]

@Tatiana Vampire University on the 5th of March and Scarlet Dagger on the 3rd of April.

[Tayla]

@alley yeah I hope to hit 100 this year!

[Vicki]

My "reading resolution" is to finish every buddy read I start!

I really need to do that. Last year I set up several and never got to them.

[rachel, x]

@Tatiana. Yayy! :))

[María]

I don't have a list. Maybe my resolution must be read more clasic books being a literature teacher as I am but I rather read YA Books o romantics stories. I can't help it! ;)

I was checking out edelweiss and I was wondering do you have to pay for the books? How does it work?

[Tati]

Lindsey, you have to click on the 'Review Copies" tab. There, you can request ARCs (and no, you don't have to pay for them).

Thanks!

[rachel, x]

Hey guys. One of my resolutions was to finish the A-Z Challenge but I had to DNF my "Y" book because it was so terrible. Does anyone have some good replacements?? I have You Had Me At Halo and You Against Me so far. Oh, and even better does someone know a Amazon freebie that starts with a "Y"?? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I sent you a message of a couple of books that i found free ☺

[rachel, x]

@Sarah Thanks. Got the message. Was a big help! Next time I go to the library. I will also scour the shelves for a "y" book. I even easily found books with "x" and "z" (The Shadowhunter's Codex, Seizure) but not "y"!

[Mei]

How about, You Had Me at Hello by Mhairi McFarlane? Haven't read that, yet, though, so Idk if it's good.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That one is supposed to be good ☺ I may have problems with X and Z this year.

[rachel, x]

@Mei That's sounds pretty good actually and it has a character called Rachel. Thanks Mei! I'll add it to the list. Gotta go find one of these at my library now. :)

[rachel, x]

@Sarah Its does sounds pretty good. Does your have to start with those letters or just contain them?? :)

[rachel, x]

Hey girls problem solved, I am going to be reading You Don't Have to Say You Love Me. Thanks Sarah. And thanks for the suggestion Mei. I will probably read that book some other time. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I usually do starting with. Last year I read and . Oooh! actually I just remembered that I got so I could use that for X!

[Mei]

Greta recommended that, I completely forgot about it! It was a long book so I don't use it, haha.

[rachel, x]

@Sarah Ahaha Xavier Walton's First Kiss looks hilarious. And XVI actually looks good! :)

[Mei]

In the alphabet challenge I joined, it's okay if X or Z doesn't start with it, as long as it contains the letter within the title, so I'm going to use 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for my 'X'. Still thinking for Z, though. I don't fancy World War Z and I know some people who DNF it.

[rachel, x]

@Sarah Looking up free "z" ebooks. Only found this so far:

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think I might read , I haven't read it for years and I only vaguely remember it.

[rachel, x]

@Mei Ahaha, I don't mind long books so I think I am set.

Same, I am using them in the word. That's clever thinking of Harry Potter. I was thinking of Lola and the Boy NeXT Door or The Adoration of Jenna Fox or Jenny Pox (that a free ebook, Sarah. If you don't mind it in the middle of the word.)

[rachel, x]

Okay. I am signing off now. Thanks for all your help. Hope you can think of a "z" book Sarah. I'll sleep on it and think of some ideas for you. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Aw. :( Hope you get out of it soon!
