Updating. So the scale looks like it's tipping in the wrong direction as far as books acquired vs books read. But my print TBR is actually down by 38 books because I've been purging some that I've lost interest in or my library has in multiples. 2012 Striving for Check/Book Balance Challenge

I just adore Judd. The things that man can do with his mind! *double sigh*
Joann, how did you 'correct' the display for the cover?
Valerie - I'm not sure I understand your question. I've done nothing different to my covers, however, that is the only post I have or can see that is not lined up vertically one per line. I noticed that since yesterday, but I don't know why or how to fix it. Is that what you're asking about?
Ok, update time...I am almost even so...not so bad.2012 Striving for Check/Book Balance Challenge

Hooray, the PTB have fixed the covers!!!
Yes!!! Sandra, I don't know if you noticed, but Home (the Stacia Kane snippet) is up on Amazon for 99 cents.
Woohoo! I read that, but want it for my "collection"...off to amazon now...Couldn't find it...maybe it's a residence-related one...dang.
Nope, not coming up for me either. I'd say you're right Judithe, prob just a US thing again.....

Oops, sorry, Sandra and Judithe. I keep forgetting my amazon is set to the US one.
NP :D ...but her other novella is up for 99 cents...and due to be released on June 4 (safely pre-ordered, and wending it's way to me instantaneously sometime next week!)
