BINGO R4 | Questions & Discussion

That is my man...he just shakes his head at me. At least my addiction is cheaper than his (cars). Therefore he doesn't get too mad at me.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL Leah! Yeah, mine used to be a huge reader himself, so he doesn't typically complain and usually helps w/my addiction.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Mine isn't a reader but he does bring me bookcases :DDD

His addictions would include every power tool known to man, but I can't complain cause he does use them.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Bookcases are good! I could use more than a few myself. ;)

[Heather ~ Marceline]

My husband's addiction is snowboarding for him and the kids. Luckily my books are justified in his eyes since his boarding, and in the nicer months, his adventure races, are always more. So, not only do I get to buy the books, but I also have tons of free time to read them while they are gone :D

[Leah]

I suppose my husband accepts my addiction but he makes me take responsibility.

We recently moved into a new house and all my boxes of books were sitting in the garage. I wasn't allowed to park inside until I hauled them all upstairs myself!!! This might not seem worth it to some of you but keep in mind that I live in Edmonton where we get tons of snow and ice, so having your car parked outside sucks!!

And we still need bookcases -- the books are now scattered around our spare bedroom pulled out from all of the boxes!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL Leah! Now that's just mean.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Mean, but worth it!

[Leah]

Sandra wrote: "Mean, but worth it!"

Yes, it was worth it. Also, now I don't have to go out to the garage to look through boxes everytime I want to do a re-read.

[D.G.]

I get around 70% of my ebooks/audiobooks from the library and for the other 30%, I use my credit card points to get Amazon Gift Cards.

So at the end, my addiction comes out pretty cheap. :)

I just started using our library and I love it!! Free books!! I'm trying to start only purchasing my favourite series. I didn't think of using credit card points, I should check and see if I can...

[★Meghan★]

I just found my debit card points have one for B&N and I have a lot added up, so I can get lots of booky money.

[Lis]

Great idea with the points for amazon...

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

So jealous! We don't get points on cc for anything book related, just stupid coffee makers or crap like that to fill your kitchen etc etc

And I'd use my library more if they had our sort of books *sigh*

[★Meghan★]

I am going to stalk the thread a little late today. I am going to sleep and will wake up early in the afternoon my time to get back to work after 8 hrs. :( At least I can look forward to the shelf this afternoon.

I agree with you about the library. Their idea of UF is LKH. They've expanded their offerings but the books are always out.

[Lis]

Sorry guys... Can't stalk the shelf til later today, spring is here and I have to go play soccer mom. So I'm getting a chant in early...

shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

[D.G.]

WTG, Lis! Shelf, Shelf, Shelf!!!

The ebook selection in my libraries (I belong to 3 of them) is amazing. They have almost everything...even M/M!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Lucky, lucky you D.G.!!!

Merry weekend everyone! New book today!

shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

[Midu]

HELP! Would either of these work:
for the paranormal mystery shelf?

[[deleted user]]

One Foot in the Grave is out. I combed it's shelves with search and no one has it under paranormal mystery.
Don't know about the other two.

[Midu]

Thanks, Zanahoria!

[Michelle]

I didn't see any of them listed as paranormal mystery, sorry!

[Midu]

Thanks,Michelle!

[[deleted user]]

You are welcome. Hope you find something that interests you soon.

[Lis]

shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

[D.G.]

Yay Lis! I can always count on you to keep up the good work. :p

[D.G.]

Midu - I see you have What's a Ghoul to Do? in your TBR.

That should work for the pnr-mystery shelf.

[Lis]

Still stalking, but have to go to a birthday celebration.... No shelf announcement yet...

shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

Passing the duty to you DG!

[D.G.]

Oh no! I have to go spend time with DH! He's giving me the gimlet eye.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

No worries, DG, b/c OUR SHELF IS HERE!
shelf announcement is up ~ 'magic'

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

RE: Library - we have a library on the base and while it's sad and pathetic (ONE row of adult fiction; front/back and 1/2 row of YA), I also grabbed a free membership to the Philly library. Thanks to Judithe! I try not to complain though b/c somethin' is certainly better than nutin'. :D

Happy Reading, Everyone! :)

[Regina]

Woohoo!!

[Leah]

Yay!! I even have a book on hand in the category :)

[[deleted user]]

Shelf up!
And it's a nice, ample category. I should have something on hand.
*goes dancing to rummage around TBR pile*

[Valerie]

Midu, I had A Discovery of Witches and The Demon's Lexicon in my pnr-mystery shortlist.

[Vivian]

Perfect shelf! I've been wanting to read a Dresden book :)

[Midu]

Thanks, D.G. and Valerie! does look good!

[Regina]

Which one will you pick? My list is always so freaking long, here is my maybe list for this shelf(I have all of these in audio or ebook from the library or I own, so really all of them are options):

[AH]

Regina, I almost picked Shadow Reader. A discovery of witches always seems to pop up, but it's gotten mixed reviews and it is pretty long. I enjoyed Stephen Kings Gunslinger series years ago but it is a little weird.

Good luck!

[★Meghan★]

I would just grab one of the ones that you have at home. If it doesn't work out, drop it and go to the next.

[Regina]

I had them all at home. :D.

I ended up going with

[AH]

Regina, it will be interesting to see your take on this book. The character changes throughout the series and a lot of people have had strong views on this book. I like the series but I read it out of order (sacrilege - I know).

[Vivian]

I like the Kitty books, a consistent 3-4 star series for me. Hope you enjoy!

I'm reading Changes, which is both exciting and sad because it means I'm almost caught up. I've been trying to spread the books out until Cold Days comes out in October.

[Regina]

Vivian, I understand -- I remember when I caught up with Dresden a few years ago. The good news is those books (except the first few) make great re-reads. :) Cold Days was moved to October?!!! I thought it was July?

I am enjoying Kitty so far.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I really enjoyed Kitty (and can't wait for the next one!) once I finally started it last year! Hope you continue to like it!

[Zaanodes]

All this talk about %...

Is this calculated by GR and if so...where? Color me (potentially) embarrassed but I have not been able to find it.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Mmmm. Don't know really. I calculated mine...maybe it's better if I don't...too many books still yet to read.

[Zaanodes]

Yeah, mine has got to be close to 50%...I don't think I really want to know! lolol

[Katie]

Girls, what we don't know - won't hurt us!
