Not sure if anyone's interested, but I'm getting rid of a stack of books. Before I go take them over to the book drop I figured I'd offer them in here and see if anyone would be interested in nabbing these used books. Here's what I'm getting rid of! :)
- Paperback copy; brand new never been opened
- Hardcover; brand new
- Hardcover; brand new
- paperback; good condition (little scratch on the cover)
- paperback; good condition.Let me know! I'll mail them out. :)
Of course! I'd rather have people I know enjoy them then just drop them in a bin. (Which I will do with what's left, haha).You can PM me your address?
Don't even worry, lol. Toronto actually isn't all that far away from me.If you want it, just PM me.
Also, don't feel at all like you should take one cause I offered, lol. I'm getting rid of them regardless.
That's why I did too. My husband watched it and said that it was good and it played all the time. So I got a copy of the book and read it, wanting to do that first, only now it's NEVER on tv, ha.

Im also reading a book called " Soul Enchilada" by David Maccinis Gill. The plot is kinda twisty but other than that it is a great book so far.
A bit off-topic, but if someone has time to spread the love (maybe Heidi?) -- today Amazon has
for $1.99!!!Spread the love!
(Whoops - I see Bluemoon beat me to it.)
Doesn't hurt to shout out again. :)
I just finished
which I really liked, and now am struggling to get through
which I've started multiple times but can't seem to get through
Ok back by popular (ok maybe not popular but a few people asked about it) I am going to try to resurrect the whole around the world thing with one of my favorite books http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1.... I hope you join me! Thanks :)

Thanks for the heads up! Just bought it.

David I have been waiting for someone who had the sames thoughts on Daughter of Smoke and Bone that I did to say they loved the sequel before I decided to read it but so far that hasn't happened.
Lol! About the double insta love right? I wasn't a huge fan although I did like the backstory, the beginning, and the ending. It was the middle bits that bothered me. Either way, I'll let you know what I think of the sequel :)
Just wanted to announce that Harold has posted the next round of the Villains contest -- please join us :)

Hey, guys, I have a question: Is it possible to create a private thread on Goodreads? Can I create a thread where only certain people can comment and/or see?
I have another question (for those of you who post reviews) - if you decide you really don't want to continue reading a book (like, you've reached 30% and your limit), do you still post a review with the assumption that the remaining 70% is as equally boring / unreadable / not your thing?
I typically force myself to read the whole thing before doing the review. One was TORTURE, but since it was a First Reads book, I made myself finish it so that I could give an honest review. If I don't finish the book, I won't do a review. But that's just me.
I used to force myself to finish every book I started, Becky, but now I'm thinking, "Too many great books out there, too little time to spend on blah books."

You can create private groups, but I don't think it's possible to make a private thread within a public group, if that's what you mean.

I usually just force myself through a book so that I feel more justified writing a review ... However, there are times when I really can't stand any more when I'm only like a fourth of the way through the book. In that case, I still post a review, but I make it clear that I'm only reviewing the part of the book that I read, and that I did not actually get to the end. But this doesn't happen all too often. The only example I can think of right now is my review for the ninth House of Night book; I gave up less than 25% of the way through the book I think, but I still posted a review ... Although it was kind of a review of the whole series and not just of the part of the ninth book that I read. :P

Agreed - private groups but not private threads that I know about.

I have a did not finish folder for books I really didn't like. I do not force myself to finish books anymore. I'm 41 - time is too short! I will rate a unfinished book 1 star ONLY if I think it deserves it. If it is a book that I do no finish because it is too middle grade or "not for me" but I would recommend to someone else who may like it I just mark it as read without rating it and put a comment about why I stopped reading it in the review section.

Great minds think alike David!
Rolenda I NEED to get to UnWholly! I was holding out hope there would be an audiobook version like there was with Unwind but alas I checked again this week and still NO audiobook so I guess I will need to resort to the print copy!

I loved UnWholly! I don't think it was as amazing as Unwind, but it was still really good. There were a lot of interesting new characters, and on top of that we got to see how the characters from the first book had changed. So, that was cool. :)
