Janice (jamasc) | 60012 comments Has anyone bought any books recently? (Nudging thread back on topic.)

I picked up One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on ebook. I also got an audio freebie, Her Royal Spyness. Here's the link for anyone who frequents audible.com.

I picked up One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on ebook. I also got an audio freebie, Her Royal Spyness last year from the library but never got around to reading it. I finished one of her other books a while ago and thought it was just okay so hopefully that series is better. My S.O. loves One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest :) I've yet to read it or watch the movie though.

Janice (jamasc) | 60012 comments I used my audible credit and got Let Me In

Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

I get 12 credits up front each year but I try to use only one a month. I'm afraid I might miss a really great new release if I go hog wild on my wishlist.

Autumn (paperrdolls) | 122 comments I was wondering how aubible.com worked now that there was a subscription thing and since a book club that i know ;) got me into books on discs i was semi interested in joining..


message 581: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60012 comments Audible has several options. Best thing to do is go to www.audible.com and check out the options. You'll likely get a free book or two for joining.

But Kat, you gave it 4 stars! I don't know when I will be listening to this one. I have a whack of audiobooks queued up. I will likely review it, so in a year or so, be watching my update feed. :)

Yes, but I thought I would LOVE it. And the writing was good, and the characters were very well done, so I didn't HATE it. It was hard one to rate!

Tory Hendershot (nghtstlkr64) | 48 comments Kimberly - Me too. I already have copies but when I found these covers I had to have them.

Janice - I hadn't thought about it but might do.
