I'm a fan of Karen Robards early historicals. Some are even in ebook now. There is a Goodreads group called. Bodice Ripper Anonymous that shelves have pretty much every true Bodice Ripper you can think of.

Audible: a empty format library to keep up with my audible account Nook: a liberated library of all my books on my nook Amazon: another liberated library of all my Kindle for PC books Kitty's Library: a backup of all my other e-books not part of the other 3 I have finished for the week on my nook library in Goodreads and calibre. I use the virtual libraries to match my shelves that I have put on my nook. For the nook I have my books separated into 80 different shelves. I am about halfway done adding my audible library into Goodreads. Then I need to start on my Kindle Library. That is going to take alot of time since it is at about 4500+ books And so you all can see: Goodreads Profile I think I was a librarian in a past life. Auntykatkat |

Here are the books I bought this week. The top row were brought today.
I read last week: Home For Christmas by Patricia Potter (4.5 Stars) I love this book! I just wish it wasn't full of OCR errors. If you can overlook the errors which are many than read this book! Better Watch Out by Dani Sinclair (3 stars) It was a okay book. Very predictable but it kept me reading till the end to see how the author was going to tie it all together. I am reading: One Christmas Knight by Kathleen Creighton. If I hadn't got a migraine this morning I would have stay up all night reading it. Hero is a truck driver and for once the author got it right! For those of you I may have mention once or twice that my brother is one and I had a uncle that was one for many years. So I am so enjoying this book. The heroine is older and very pregnant and on her way to her parents when they meet. I wont give away the rest but I am loving this book so far. I've been NetFlix binging on the show Haven. Something I never do but this series has got me enthralled. I can't stop watching! |

Thanks for all your answers about how you arrange Calibre. I have 4 libraries - Audiobooks, Romance, Romance freebies, and Other. I asked how other people arranged their libraries because I oftentimes find myself switching between them and it can be cumbersome. For example, I may have a freebie in a series in one library, and the next I bought in that series in the other library. I am not sure I want to combine the libaries, though, because due to one-clicking (!) I have a fair amount of junk in my freebie folder that I don't care about. Maybe I'll just transfer select freebies to the main library.

Before you click check price, this looks geo-restricted to USA only!
$.99 Kristen Ashley Mystery Man And this one just sounds unique for $.99 Intractable Souls by Tricia Daniels blurb: It’s been years since brilliant IT consultant Olivia James, fell for a man who had a deeply hidden compulsion to violence and control. Left healing physically and emotionally, she became a shadow of the confident woman she used to be. That is, until she meets Ethan O’Connell, a man who makes her burn with a powerful desire. Haunted by fear and insecurity, she desperately tries to resist him, doing all the right things to protect her heart, but she is betrayed by her desires and her attraction to confident men. With stubborn perseverance, he ignores her attempts to push him away, leaving her wanting, desiring his love, needing it to feel alive and whole. Ethan O’Connell is extremely successful in his businesses, with a seriously sexy Irish accent and a lethal kind of flare and charm. More than any one man should ever possess. Ethan knew, from the very first moment that he saw her that she is meant to be his. Used to getting the things he wants, he is determined to have her and struggles to control his Irish temper, the reason for his own troubled past. Olivia James is the woman that makes him want more, the kind of girl that would make any man think about forever. Afraid that he can’t live without her and unwilling to lose her, he hides his secrets and ignores his dark desires and fantasies of control. Eccentric Psychic, Eva Storm is drawn to the energy around them. She knows that they are soul mates bound by past lives and helps the universe steer them together. Ethan is hesitant to believe at first, but there are things he can’t ignore. Things he couldn’t possibly know, but does. Neither of them can deny the dreams and memories that they both share, but Olivia is too afraid to believe and not willing to trust her heart. Convinced that she is “THE ONLY ONE” for him, Ethan refuses to walk away, vowing that he will never give up on her, even if it means he has to fight hard enough for both of them. Can he control his temper and his needs in order to keep her in his life? Can she heal her past wounds and let him in? Like no other woman in his life, Olivia challenges him with her strong will and sharp sense of humor, making him wonder if she could ever become a willing captive of his dominance. Ethan hopes with all his heart that she will become equally addicted to his love, and a sneaky suspicion that falling in love with Olivia James is about to bring on a shift in the balance of power in his world. |

I'm curious what those who have separate libraries do if a series has freebies and paid in it? Or how you keep track if you only have later books in a series but still need the first ones? I use Goodreads a lot, but live in fear of loosing all my data should it ever disappear! |

I thought about creating a blank library in Calibre of all my print books, but it would be such a huge task to tackle. Even though I got rid of about half my books when I moved, I still have a lot (1000ish). And since I have the information in Word ultimately be just duplicate info (albeit with pretty covers ) I don't keep track if a book was free or how much I paid for it. If I was going to that, I think a custom column would be what I would do. Last edited by library addict; 01-06-2014 at 01:13 PM. |
