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! :)





Let me know! I'll mail them out. :)

You can PM me your address?

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.

Okay, great! I sent you a PM. :)

Doesn't hurt to shout out again. :)



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 :)

You've officially made my week.

For those who are thinking of buying/reading The Knife of Never Letting Go and has a Kindle...."
Thanks for the heads up! Just bought it.

Ah... yeah, definitely! Share share share. And eventually I'll catch up on reading all the deals!
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.

Just wanted to announce that Harold has posted the next round of the Villains contest -- please join us :)

Yay! I really liked Perks of Being a Wallflower and LOVED Book Thief (March book March book March book :) Night Circus was strange and not for everyone so I always like to see peoples thoughts on it.

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.

Agreed :)
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. :)



My copy of PRODIGY arrived on Tuesday and will be starting it this weekend! Looking forward to it! I read DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE last year and really detested it, so won't be going for round 2!
