Hi Erika!!! We sure miss you! Congrats on the new job and I hope school is going well. Hang in there and I look forward to seeing you around again when you finish this semester. Thanks for the update, I'm glad to know that you are just busy, but well.

Congrats on the new job! I completely understand. I have been super busy and am about to apply for a part time position. It's been hard to keep up!

Oh good luck on applying!!! I hope you get it! I think we've all been extra busy lately!! It's no fair that real life has to cut into our reading. :D

I'm just curious if anyone else has looked at or is trying that Audible Romance package?

https://www.audible.com/ep/Romance-Pa...

It seems similar to Kindle Unlimited, but for Audible and only Romance books. If you have Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Prime it's $6.95 a month to listen to thousands of romance books that are in the romance package. I'm doing the trial, because I use audible and $6.95 is cheap. It looks like a lot of books I'm interested in are in the package. Just curious is anyone else has given it a try?

Yes, let me know too! I don't get the point of it because you can't do much on it. It's basically looking at author's posts about their books. My username is anovelglimpse if you want to follow me. I'll follow you back.

So I was just looking at the Choice Award Winners. I feel bad saying this, but Without Merit by Colleen Hoover won for Best Romance and I didn't vote for it. I absolutely loved the book, but I didn't really feel it was a standout as a romance. It was the other aspects that I really loved about the book. I felt like the romance was a side to the rest of the story. If it was nominated in the YA category I would of totally voted for it. I also really wished that From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon would of won for Historical Fiction. That is one of my all time favorite books, but I don't normally read that genre, so I couldn't judge it to any other nominations. haha I did add a couple of winners to my to-reads list!!

I've been talking about this with some bloggers. I was disappointed that Without Merit won, too. It wasn't a romance. CoHo even says it (She had a great thing on FB today about it.) wasn't. It's YA fiction. It should have been in that category. I didn't vote for it either.

I don't think you should be able to vote for a book unless you've read it.

Oh, I’ll have to read her post on FB. I agree people should only be able to vote for books they’ve read. That’s what I do!!


message 3414: by Vega_girl (new)

Vega_girl | 6624 comments I agree amd I think CoHo was spot on! I wish From sand and Ash would have won also that book was amazing!!

Those are very clever, Barb!!

I just looked online to see if there was a way to use them on my PC and there kind of is. If you right click on your taskbar on the bottom of your PC a window pops up, click on "show touch keyboard button". It will add a little keyboard you can click on onto your task bar. When you click on the keyboard it comes on the screen and right next to the ctrl key is a smilie face. If you click on the smilie face, it gives you some emoji's you can click on and they add to your post. 😁🤣😍😢😜😎

I don't know if any of that made sense, but it worked.
