Bring down your 'unread books' number

[Irene]

I haven't really had any luck with smashwords :/

[Heather]

I just found one that I am hoping to enjoy

Yeah, sometimes you find loads, and other times you don't find anything at all.

[Irene]

True. Btw, isn't there a way to sort books after price in the amazon shop on kindle? I can't seem to find it

[Irene]

Which one was that Heather?

[Tati]

There is a drop down menu right below the basket information.

I think you have to click on 'kindle ebooks' on the menu on the left hand side of the page, and then there should be a little box at the top of the list on the right, which you should be able to change to 'price low -high'

I forget the name of it lol

[Neha]

67 :P

[Irene]

I can't seem to find that option :/ It's a Kindle Paperwhite

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh, I don't know if you can do it by price on the kindle. I think I've searched to see if there's a way but the browsing seems quite limited.

[Irene]

Probably a good thing after all lol

So... This was supposed to be about how to decrease the number of unread books. Nose is about how to get cheap ebooks. Lol:-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

ha ha! I'd need to be immortal to even stand a chance of reading all the books I have! ☺

[Irene]

I think I can actually do it. Some day! If I buy 1 book for each 10 I read, it's not too bad, right? :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I could never do that. If I want a book and it's cheap, I tend to buy it!

[Tytti]

I have like 2 or 3 unread books on my shelf because I only buy books when I'm not reading anything and then I read them right away. Also I use library really often and if there's a book I didn't like so much I don't buy it.
I buy mostly books that I've already read or sequels to books I know are awesome.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I like shopping way too much to do that ☺ Well done!

Cheap books are way too hard to resist.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

and free ones are almost impossible!

[onceuponatimeareview]

I have so many books to catch up on and next week I get a Kindle and then I'm going to this bargain store that sells books for cheap prices

[Jenni]

I know, Sarah! Any good freebies you've found recently for Kindle?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't think I've read many free ones recently. my most favourite freebies are these though -

[Jenni]

Thanks! I've just downloaded Saving Mars, and I'll have a look at the others later :) I need books this weekend as I'm on my own inside a house because the weather will be awful according to the forecast!

[Tati]

There are also some classics for free, I remember getting A Tale of Two Cities, for instance.

[Jenni]

Yeah, I've been going through a lot of classics in the 100 year rule...Currently, I'm reading Dracula for class.

[Connie]

I have a knack for coming across amazing deals for books when I have little money and even less space! It's such a dilemma. But I'm putting myself on the "unless it's a sequel, you can only buy a book for every 10 you read"

[Irene]

Sarah - Ebooks don't count for me, as they don't take up any space:) ANd I've never found free physical copies of books :P

Connie - Same for me :) And preorders

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've had free physical copies of books. i got given several at a car boot sale because people couldn't get anyone to buy them, and my friend gave me about 30 books a couple of weeks ago as she was having a clear out!

[Tati]

Have to tell you, one of my dreams is to go to BEA to get free physical ARCs LOL

[Jenni]

Wow, lucky :) So many books, so little time!

I want that so bad!

My entire family and friends use me for book loans and recommendations. I hate it when they hurt my books though!

[Tati]

I don't loan books, easy as that. I know they won't be treated well, so they don't leave the shelves.

[Irene]

Wanna go to BEA as well! So badly!

Well, I get ARCs as well, but I just wan't to save up money and travel! :D

[Tati]

Maybe someday...

[Irene]

Probably not lol. Too expensive to go overseas. But a girl can dream :P

[Tati]

I think that with a careful financial planning, it is doable (I'd have to go overseas as well).

[Irene]

Well, yes, when eventually I go over there, I might as well do it when BEA is happening :P

[Connie]

I'd never be able to go to BEA

It's like a hell of a lot of money to get there :P

And I don't earn enough to save :P

[Irene]

Some day you will, Connie. At least I hope I will! ;)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't imagine my lot would be impressed if i told them we had to go on holiday specifically so i could go to BEA. There'd also be the issue of the weight of all those books as excess baggage on the plane - probably cheaper to just buy them!

[Irene]

Well, my partner understands my passion, so he'd do it for me, I think. The weight though.... Hmm.

It is my dream to go to BEA! I heard it's a lot of money to go there as well! But it looks like it's worth it! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Meeting the author's would be cool!

[Tati]

Well, the good thing with flights to and from Brazil is that we're allowed to check-in two pieces of luggage, each weighing up to 32 kg

[Irene]

That's a lot of luggage:-)

[Tati]

Yes, it is! I do feel sorry for the luggage handlers, though.

[Irene]

Yeah oO that's be like, a ton of luggage a day. Wow

[Irene]

So... I've managed to get it down to a 199! I've sorted my books once again and have a lot to sell and donate :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Well done!
