Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments Way to sell it Jim.


message 964: by Debbie (new)

Debbie  (db_debber) | 2757 comments please put me down for the Costas family bundle


message 965: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments Congrats Jim! Please put me down for the Costas bundle- thanks :)


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Penney, out of the five of us who read it for a book club discussion, the average score was something like 2.8 and that includes someone who apparently was off her meds and gave it a four star rating (KK). I'm just saying that there are much better choices in the list.


message 967: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Eeek - you make me think I should change to See Jane Score. OK - change me to SJS please Jim :)


message 968: by Penney (new)

Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments ROFL!


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Good choice Jane. Do Australians play hockey? In any event you get to read about an interesting tattoo if you win.


message 970: by Jane (PS), Moderator (last edited Jul 21, 2011 04:43PM) (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments We play hockey (not ice-hockey) at school and in clubs but it only gets huge national focus during the Olympics with the Hockeyroos (mens' national team) and the Matildas - Ooops they are soccer! (womens' national team)... Oh - stuff it - I don't know the names of all the teams...

Hmmm - tattoo huh? *where could THAT be?* ...Nothing like a bit of juicy info to keep me interested!!... LOL!


message 971: by Valorie (new)

Valorie  | 2218 comments Hey Jim,
I dropped Black Ice off at the post office today, so you should have it shortly!


message 972: by KimKirt (new)

KimKirt | 1638 comments That was kind of mean. :-(


message 973: by SandyC (new)

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1287 comments I would like to enter for Flowers for Algernon. Thank you!


message 974: by Barbara ★ (new)

Barbara ★ | 3901 comments Jim, I would like to change my selection to Catch of the Day. I'm not up for another lousy book right now. Thanks for the info.


message 975: by Valorie (new)

Valorie  | 2218 comments Jim,
Can you cross me off the list, I just found "When You Dare" at the used book store today. Thanks so much!


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments I should be current up through this point.

Valorie, Sandy took your spot. So if she wins, you'll know that it would have been you.

Kim, I'm sorry if I was mean when I said you were off your meds. Everyone knows that you do not take any form of medication and any form of insanity is strictly natural. Besides, everyone knows that you are a sweetie anyway. However, you didn't have to come out and say it was you that enjoyed the book. Aren't there certain things that you shouldn't admit to doing in a public forum? In my opinion liking this book is one of them. The hero is so over the top, 'I'm the man and thus I'm always right and so much better than you at everything' that I wanted to kill him and I'm a man. Of course as Penney pointed out, if I didn't like the book I should be talking it up so that more people would want it thus increasing my chances of getting rid of it. Maybe she has a point there... OK, I agree with you, When You Dare is wonderful!

Barbara, much better choice IMHO.


message 977: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments LOL Jim!

I took the whole thing as 'tongue in cheek'... :)


message 978: by Penney (new)

Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments Jim, what number margarita were you on during that monologue? Oh wait, that was me :-)

Get on with the drawing already!


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments I'm holding off until noon. Maybe we'll pick up one more entry then the solid dozen will be easier to choose from.


message 980: by AlbertaJenn (new)

AlbertaJenn | 0 comments Is it too late to change my request? Can I go for See Jane Score, instead? I have had good luck with sports romance.


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments No problem Jenn. Besides, you get hockey thing being a Canadian and all.


message 982: by Penney (new)

Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments It's noon now ;-p


message 983: by Penney (new)

Penney (pschoener) | 3553 comments I should be a model on one of those Inspirational posters for patience.


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Using Random.org I get number 9. Congratulations Joyce!

message 992: by Joyce (new)

Joyce (eternity21) | 739 comments I promise to share them once they are read Penney. LOL

I will post books tomorrow culling my stacks to get a good mix if I can.


message 993: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) | 670 comments Congrats Joyce! :)


message 994: by KimKirt (new)

KimKirt | 1638 comments Congrats Joyce! Seriously, you should read When You Dare. Jim is off his rocker and obviously jealous of the alpha male. However, he is allowed to not like a book that I happened to like and I am allowed to like a book that he basically threw against the wall. This is an ongoing behind the scenes squabble between the two of us. I'm currently contemplating planting my butt in the middle of his living room and reading book #3 of the series while he fans me and brings me Margaritas. Perhaps I could get a pedicure out of him as well. Heh heh.


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Don't listen to her Joyce. She's just trying to convince the rest of the world that she's not crazy. Those voices that were telling her how good the book was were just not loud enough for the rest of the world to hear. While Kim is welcome to come and read anything she wants (and I do make a mean margarita) my wife will tell her that I apparently don't apply nail polish in an even and smooth manner and thus banned from painting toenails.


NocturnalRavings(Jodie) (mistrissmoon) | 270 comments Congrats Joyce! And lol.


message 997: by Joyce (new)

Joyce (eternity21) | 739 comments You guys are seriously whacked! but that's why I love you guys. LOL

PS I would love a margarita too. Yummy!

Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I've Learned Never Have Your Dog Stuffed And Other Things I've Learned by Alan Alda Hardcover. Just for something a bit different :~)

Wizard by Trade Wizard by Trade (The Dresden File, #4-5) by Jim Butcher Hardcover but no dust jacket

I'll do the drawing Sunday July 31st at about 9 pm.EST


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Oh, I have to be put down for Women of the Bite. I see Lesbian Vampire Erotica and I just have to give it a shot. Besides, I have Deja Dead and The Nymphos of Rocky Flats. I just haven't read them yet.


Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments And your books went out in the mail today. I threw an extra Blaze book in to make the package more even. So three books on their way to you! (The postmaster said next tues is the expected delivery date but media mail usually gets there faster than they say)


message 1000: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Hi Joyce - Could you please put me down for The Nymphos of Rocky Flats or When Lightning Strikes? I'll make a decision if I win, if that is OK...
