Melinda did you add gmail addresses to your approved senders list?

[Melinda]

And we had to pay for 4 new flights.

As bloody Latam Airlines wouldn’t fast track the exchange of the ticket.

But we are now on the plane. Waiting for take off.

I will check when we arrive Robin.

I should be able to claim through credit card though.

[Robin]

That sucks about the flights Melinda! Fingers crossed your credit card company helps!

Don't worry about the ARC! Just enjoy your vacay and whenever you want to read I'll help you get it. She's in no hurry, just grateful for the interest.

[Tessa]

Wow, I miss a day. *hugs Melinda* I'm so glad it worked out for you! Your husband sounds awesome and thank goodness you get a month away from that boss, though, what he's doing can't be allowed. :( Have a great time on your trip!

[Melinda]

Thankyou Tessa, I joined the union. But as it escalated so fast. The union wouldn’t assist as I just joined, but another boss said to me that my card was that fact they bullied me so much, my husband had to step in. It must have been bad and they then didn’t want to talk about that. But finally we are here now for one month. My eldest daughter couldn’t come, so she is making me take aspirin, as she thinks I’m going to have a heart attack.

[Tessa]

Take the time off away from this, and hopefully, it will get resolved quickly.

[Teri]

Just gotta say that it's starting out to be a GREAT book year! I have loved everything I've read so far. Ya, ya, I know... it's only February but I got a really good feeling. I'm so excited to just read my free time away. Woo Hoo!
I hope everyone else is experiencing the same giddiness I am...

I'd have to second that. I've been really lucky too!

I've had an awesome year too! I read 5 books in January that will definitely be on my Top Reads of 2019 list. It makes me so happy!!

[Ela]

YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSS! I'M SO OUT OF IT! WORK IS KICKING MY ASS AND I'M SO LOST WITH ALL THESE CHALLENGES THAT I JUST GAVE UP..........HELP

No giving up! Hang in there, even if it's just by a glittery thread!

[Jan]

*hugs Ela* I'm struggling to keep up with the challenges too. Some months you just can't. Don't stress. You can try again next month.

[Michele]

Ela, don't let this stress you out. This is supposed to be for fun. Just do what you can and let it go. We aren't going to judge here because next month, it could be one of us who is in that position. Hugs to you girl. Get your booty back in here and let that stress go. Just do what you can...hugs!!

[Jenn]

Yes Ela what everyone else has said. *hugs* my friend.
January was good for me, but February even though it just started not so much-I have not finished one book I have started and I have started 3 and I am so not the reader that can have multiple books going at one time but they are just not holding my attention as I have too much side stuff going on...it happens so I just say f*ck it and move on. Not always easy I know. You'll get it back as will I :-)
hang in there girl!

[[deleted user]]

Ela, just do one....or none. Dont push yourself into a slump. I am just doing the pick for me, but honestly got anxiety last time i posted on that thread. Heart in throat and racing. I think more to do with other things, but not sure i will keep up with it at the moment.

[Jean]

Ela, no worries. I'm stressing over all the challenges too and work is also kicking my ass this year! WTF, don't they know we have books to read?!?!?!?

[Nay]

Ela--I'm out of it too. You're not alone!

[Teri]

Jean wrote:! WTF, don't they know we have books to read?!?!?!?"
See, this is how I feel. There are way too many books to read to be wasting my life away at work. Not to mention chatting with the ladies of the WolfPack thread :-)

[Lisa]

I decided not to do Romanceopoly. Just gonna do PFM and Levels. When I feel like joining in on BOOM I will. Same for Reader Favorites. It should be a fun way to try to get your next read in when you have thousands to choose from and not add extra stress.

[Leslie]

Ela, sorry things are so stressful. Just read whatever you want when you have time and chat with us.

I'm only doing the pick for me (that doesn't stress me out) and the levels one (cause its a yearly one). Romanceopoly, favorites, and BOOM all stress me out.

[JudyCa]

Chill girl! 😁 No stress allowed in book world, lol...I'm also only doin PFM and the Boom if I can...life is stressful enough 😉 ❤️

[JudyCa]

Ela, do not read this 😍
For everyone who's a 'C' lover...I just finished The Letters and A Different Kind Of December: A Carnage Short Story they were both great! And there's a new one coming out this year about Paige, Len and Jimmie's daughter 😁

Same! I like the favorites because I'm just picking books I wanted to read anyway. :P And if I'm late, I'm known for my mood reading. :D

Ela, if you look last year, I didn't get most of my books done, or at least on time. If you can't read it, you can't. That's okay. *hugs*

For you Kellan lovers...#4! 😁❤️

[Lisa]

I physically cringe when I hear that name!!!

[Kim]

Ah yes, it sits on my TBR for what seems like ever, still haven't read that one with that character named Kellan..... I have however, given my heart to Professor Emerson on more than one occasion...LOL

[Jenn]

Lisa wrote: "I physically cringe when I hear that name!!!"

😂😂😂😂

[Tessa]

I have literally read every book on that list. Literally! Of them, my favorite was In Flight. :)

[Ela]

YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!! I FUCKING LURVE YOU ALL! I THINK I'M GOING TO STICK TO THE PFM, ANYONE DOING FAVORITES?

I'm only doing PFM...any more commitment than that makes me sweat 😂 the more of everyone's favorites I see the more I want...there are way too many now that I haven't got time for...

Funny, I have read all of those!

[Ela]

LMAO ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jan]

I'm not doing any challenges this month except a couple with my HR group. But I might come back to pfm next month if I don't feel too rushed.

[Nay]

I've read all but Dirty Billionaire. Is that something I should put on the tbr or has its ship probably already sailed?

Ela--I'm doing favorites.

Jenn, Michelle, and maybe Judy, and I are BRing Midnight Valentine for it if you want to join in. We need to set a date. I'm going to that thread right now to try to pin something down so that we don't let it pass us by.

Good to know! A few are new to me, a few I have no interest in and a few sound very familiar as if I've read them year(s) ago... Now I'm adding In Flight to my list, whoop!

[Leslie]

Seeing the confusion from the other thread re: re-lease of Sex, Love Repeat it reminded me of another one.

Dear Bridget, I Want You changed to British Bedmate

I've been duped a few times when authors do this.

[Nay]

Here's another:

Bad Mommy changed to: I Can Be A Better You

I've been changing A LOT of covers (and some titles, and even some series names) for authors on GR. I think when their sales are stagnant, they want to try something different, which is really pretty smart. Especially for Dear Bridget, I Want You--what an improvement from the first cover!

[Leslie]

Nay, I get it from a marketing perspective but as a reader its confusing and annoying. 😕However, if they CLEARLY STATE it's a re-release, I can forgive the author. 😉

P.S. new covers/same title is not as bad, but still kind of bother me. I'm just a big crabby grouch. 🦀

[Nay]

No you’re not, Leslie! It’s completely annoying to buy a book and realize you’ve already read it!

I agree with everything you said. I think there should be a sentence about the change at the top of the blurb of the new edition in bold. It’s not good for readers to feel duped, even though I’m sure that’s not the intention; however, before social media got popular, I can remember a few authors making changes and not making it clear to the reader at all. People would buy the book and realize they’d already read it and we’d have to go on a hunting expedition to find some tiny print somewhere that it was a reprint. Nowadays, they’re liable to have an angry online mob come after them for not disclosing it.

OMG, I hated when that happened when I was buying a paperback. You spend 7.99 on a new book only to realize, hey, I've read this! I had to return so many books as a result of the new covers.

[Nay]

Funny that we were talking about this today. I just got finished changing covers, titles, and series name for an author. She did a major overhaul. Changed her blurbs too. None of y'all had her on your tbr, though.

Tell her to put in BIG LETTERS it's a re-release of an old book. Her fans will not be happy if she doesn't.

[Nay]

Did any of the fans of the Of Love and Madness series happen to see in your feed where Karen commented that she's working on Billy's POV for book #3?

This is the gist of it:

I'm currently working on another story for the series after being asked numerous times to focus on Billy during the time he and Kate were apart, and then pick up with another storyline where they reconnect. I wasn't sure there was more to tell, but I think I've got it.

Readers have asked for more Billy, so that's what I'm doing. Wait until you see the cover! I'm dying!! We FOUND Billy in all his glory. :-D

I hope you'll check it out when the story publishes later this year or early next.

Karen is a member of this group. Maybe she'll keep us posted??? And I can't wait to see Billy "in all his glory"!!
