Both of these models are not attractive at all to me.

;-)
You can deny it all you want...but, you will never convince me you are not my book twin.
Mod
now, I have to make my decision about Tessa... this is hard, I have actually clicked on every single one of her books in the list to try and help me make my decision and I'm more confused now than I was to start with!
Leslie - okay, nix Heaven & Hell then.., going back & checking out your list!
LOL Michelle is using her April's Fools Day option."Kidding Leslie...let me pick your real book now"
ha!

Fabi, you are silly! I would never dream of denying you of my book twin title. ;) Are you also not a KA fan but desperatly want to be? I'm afraid they'll take away my romance book lovers card if I don't. Michelle, don't stress...I'm happy to try whatever you choose from my list.

Ela --- rev up your squealing engine
Grey, my pick for you is
*drumroll babatabambatabam*
"YES WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? I WAS READY TO JUMP INTO GR AND PRETEND TO BE YOU AND PICK
lol Poor Grey!Bev, of course I do. That has been an eventually book. That's why I've owned it for like five years now and haven't read it yet. :D
Fabi, that was one of the two I'd have gone with! Though the whole list looks good, you know that and Court of Thorn and Roses would have had me torn.

Nope, me neither ! But since one of them was a cave dude on Transcendence I could ignore him....
Leslie wrote: "Fabi, you are silly! I would never dream of denying you of my book twin title. ;) Are you also not a KA fan but desperatly want to be? I'm afraid they'll take away my romance book lovers card if I ..."Yes! That's why I hardly ever mention it. Whenever one of her books is mentioned or released, I just quietly go about my own business. Head down. Ashamed.
LOLOL Ela. I figured you were on pins and needles. If you could, I think you'd lock us all in a room and not let us out until we ALL read that one.
Tessa wrote: "Fabi, that was one of the two I'd have gone with..."Yup, I knew that. *pats self on back*
Grey wrote: "Ha! LOL! OK, I'm ready! The Bird and the Sword it is, Ela will be thrilled *giggle*.now, I have to make my decision about Tessa... this is hard, I have actually clicked on every single one of her..."
*whispers in Grey's ear, The Infamous Ellen James* it's so funny
Book guilt Fabi!... BOOK. GUILT. The struggle is real my friend.
omg Ela hahahaha - you can't pick for everyone even though you've been trying since the beginningso cute and funny! we love books!
*grumbles to self....they don't know what they're missing!*
I'm waiting for my pick too Ela. I wish I'd put more sci-fi on my list since Jan is going to pick for me. I know she'd pick an awesome one.
Oh and Fabi, I'm still reading Bang and wtf is up with Lorraine the bitch??? I can just feel something coming!
lol That's why it's on there. To eventually read it. Poor Grey is just looking at a huge variety. I think the only thing I missed was dark. Not on purpose, though. Besides, I've no idea if the Jascinda Wilder one gets dark or not... right?
You still can Fabi! Shhh but I added some after my original post since I was doing the same as Grey and have 1 list for pick and faves. So I added some to only pick

Hey, you audible people? It says something about sharing my book, but also something about it being the recipient's first book? Im not sure I understand. Can I just loan it or does it have to be to someome who has never had audibl before?
gah! I have two reviews to write and a book to read today. Never taking a Friday night off from book world again. I feel like I'm so behind! lol!!!

Sure indeedy! What a cunt...but I don't know much yet...

bev wrote: "Hey, you audible people? It says something about sharing my book, but also something about it being the recipient's first book? Im not sure I understand. Can I just loan it or does it have to be to..."I've always wondered about that too bev. I have no idea. It's been years, but I think I remember being able to lend my books out through Audible when I had a membership.
My best guess is that it means you can loan the book and don't worry if you're loaning it out to someone without a membership because their first audible listen is free anyways.
Ok, yeah its confusing.
Ela, do you really want to listen to it? I loved it.
I can try sending it.

Wait, let's think about this, what book? I got excited when you mentioned "listen". I have the app but do I need to purchase something too? Like a membership?
Lol. I don't know.
It's confusing.
Nay, stop laughing and help.

Hey, I left audible a year ago because it got too damn expensive! I was just looking at my library, and I have a bunch of books that I've never listened to (I don't even remember buying A Court of Thorns and Roses! lol), but I've never heard of lending them, which since I'm not a member now, I'm sure that's a moot point.
OMG, I just saw her issue. She's not read a single book on my list. Though my dark thing, yeah I did put one of those on my list, Feyness. So literally I think I picked something from every genre.
*whispers* Listen to A Court of Thorns and Roses!
If you buy the ebook, audible is super discounted. That's how I've been getting them.
I've got at least 15 out of 100 audiobooks in my library that I haven't listened to yet. Mainly UF, PnR and Mystery/Thriller because romance narration usually sucks! I do SO wish I could lend some of these! Anything by Blake Crouch or Linwood Barclay, I have a bunch of both of theirs, and I have most of The Hollows series--Marguerite Gavin is an awesome narrator! Ooh and besides Dark Places just being an awesome book, it had both a male and a female narrator who both did a great job!
I also have the 2 newest Chicagoland Vamp audiobooks but I can't stand the way the girl does Ethan's voice--makes him sound like Buffy's boyfriend, Biff, at the couuuntry club.
Hey! For those of us who love to listen to audiobooks and who are always looking for great books and great narrators, we should open a thread! I know the main thing I look for that's VERY hard to find is books where the male narrator does ALL the male parts and vice versa, like the Fever books.
So, if I am understanding it then if its your first book, Ela then should be no charge.
Nay, Lin Manuel Miranda was amazing. Seriously. The different emotions he could put in his voice like humor and panic, just great. I started recognizing the different characters' voices.
oh no!!!! I just realized my mistake. I knew there had to be one, but I was too hungover this morning to figure it out.I don't have Amy picking for anyone!
Grey, I have you pickin for two. Sorry to disrupt your plans, but I have to give one to Amy.
Stupid stupid me.

But then after even if you lend me books I would need to be an audible member, is that right?
And if I send it it is now yours too. And you can send it on to someone ELSE!!! Do you know what this means? Everyone can listen to this book.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Sorry Tessa. Sorry Grey. I switched it so that Amy is picking for Tessa since that was the 2nd pick for Grey.*huff*
I hate making mistakes.
Tessa--I know! It kinda takes me out of the storyline!Bev--thanks! I put that on my Audible wishlist. I'm probably going to re-up my membership later this year if I'm able to start doing some home assembly for a little extra cash. I push these little rings onto these little screws, 4000/box, and then I get $80/box. It'd be impossibly repetitive and boring if I didn't listen to audiobooks while I was doing it!
It's all good. I think Grey is probably relieved.
