was it an Amex ad for you?"Well, now American Express went away, but I have a pic of a salad instead in your post! LOL! And nothing in the Post #52 (that I tried to fix).
LOL possibly it's your browser. Or even GR, who knows?!
I'm planing on spelling Amazon , Freebie and smashwords !!!!I have a K , I'll just throw it in there for now
A:Hired by the Cowboy by Donna Alward 5/8/12 ★★★★☆
An easy and fast to read.I think it was the first Harlequin romanceI've ever read that didn't make me roll my eyes all the time!!!
M: The Mating 7/8/12★★★★☆
At some point I was so nervous for the heroin that I couldn't keep reading.There were some stuff in Bonded that weren't in this one like the conversions that they had with their wolves.I cant wait to read the next.

N:Bonded by Nicky Charles 6/8/12★★★★★
I can't believe this was a free ebook (I got it from Smashwords )
I'm big fan of shifter and werewolf books and it was one of the best ones I've ever read.
F: The Finding 13/8/12 ★★★1/2
This one was heavy on suspense and lighter on romance,(a 3 out of 10 for the steam factor!). I like books with a lot of dialogues and this one was all about inner thoughts and descriptions .
R:Fearlessby Christine Rains 15/8/12 ★★★★★
It was only 41 pages but better than a full length book. The plot was unique and it was well written.
E:The Geek Job by Eve Langlais 13/8/12 ★★★★
It was funny in a crude way and HOT. The ending could have been better but the epilogue was great.
E:Exquisite by Ella Frank 15/8/12 ★★1/2
There were some conversations in it that was just unrealistic , the characters' actions and reactions weren't logical.

K:The Keeping 8/8/12★★★★★
What a great book ! This one was even better than bonded and the mating.The turns that the story took , not in a million years I could have predicted them.
I'm going nuts with my freebies , LOL :D
Good on you shosho! I need to take lessons from you.

Susanne, I love the little comic strip you posted above. Thank goodness for ereaders or my apt would look like that. :)

Getting hardwood floors in the upstairs has caused me to box up all my books. It is insane how many I have. I gave several boxes to my girl-friend for her garage sale and she says none have sold! Amazing!

It was funny , hot and steamy but it was just another vampire story , nothing new and it was predictable!If you haven't read a lot of vampire romances you'll enjoy this one!
M:Masters at Arms21/8/12 ★★★
An interesting way to start the series ,but I'm not sure if I'm going to read them or not!
I just realized that I haven't updated this at all! My bad. I've only read 2 of the 22 that I plan on reading. Updated my original post here. Hoping to focus on my Amazon list, since I've read one of the six and see how it goes from there.
I am so guilty of downloading freebies and never taking time to read so this is great!Freebie Challenge

Lisa Kay wrote: "Don't feel bad, Cassandra. I haven't even posted what I plan to read."That makes me feel a little better, Lisa Kay! I think I've been a little too ambitious with this one. 22 books might be too many.
I have too many freebies, so maybe it's better to read so many for this challenge.
The real question is, do you have a list and just haven't posted it or do you not yet have a list?

What are you planning to read next Gisela?
shosho wrote: "What are you planning to read next Gisela?"That depends, what are you reading next? ;) LOL! JK!
I was going to read
but I'm not in the mood for it! I'm going to check my Smashwords Library and my Kindle Archive to see what I have.
I just realized that it's a pain searching the Smashwords Library! I'm going to tag all the books I own and add them to Mount TBR.

Hi. I have a nook and couldn't find The geek Job for free. Is it just amazon?...
Yes I got it from Amazon a couple weeks ago

OH. I read the Master of Arms series very good. The first one to introduce you to the characters is a hard read but the others are nothing like that they are almost KA good.
Gisela wrote: "I just realized that it's a pain searching the Smashwords Library! I'm going to tag all the books I own and add them to Mount TBR."What do you mean by tagging your books and adding you tbr list?
shosho wrote: What do you mean by tagging your books and addin..."I sometimes "buy" the book but don't always add them to my tbr shelf here on GR. I just added a shelf for smashwords and added 151 books to it.::phew!:: Next time I get a Smashwords freebie I'll add it immediately!
I still have to do this for my Amazon and All Romance Ebooks freebies! That's what happens when you procrastinate you have a mound of books to add. Ladies I have learned my lesson! Add books now, read'em later!
Hehe I thought there was an app or something between smashwords and GR,
I wish! I had to do it manually and it took me 2 hours!
I don't add them by store, but I do have a "freebies" shelf here and tag.

shosho wrote: "What are you planning to read next Gisela?"shosho, I want to read
but I'm not sure how to fit it in. I'll probably read it anyway! :)
I have a K in there and not sure what to do with it , either Kobo or Kindle . You can spell kindle!!!
COngrats, Cassandra! I haven't even started.
