What have you guys bought and read in the past week? I only bought one book (not a romance): Noah's Rainy Day by Sandra Brannan for $0.99
And I completed the following books: The Last Hour of Gann by R Lee Smith - 5 stars (What can I say that hasn't been said already? Just get it already and go read! ) Babes in Tinseltown by Sherri Cobb South - 2.5 stars (This has a nice vintage feel but is very light/fluffy with an unsatisfying mystery) The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer - 3.5 stars (I liked this but most of my enjoyment was when the irritating heroine was off-page) Fortune's Fool by Jane Sevier - 2.5 stars |

I stayed within budget again, so that's something!? Right??? Purchases: Book Buys this week: 14 books, $15 Stir Me Up – Sabrina Elkins Craving Constellations – Nicole Jacquelyn Ricochet – Krista Ritchie Rock Her – Rachel Cross Very Bad Things - Ilsa Madden-Mills The Wager – Rachel Van Dyken Sweet [True #2] – Erin McCarthy Consumed – Skyla Madi Saving Dallas – Kim Jones Sweet Surrendering – Chelsea M. Cameron Silver Heart – Victoria Green Shattered Ink – Laura Wright Heaven’s Sinners – Bella Jewel Hell’s Knights – Bella Jewel BTW the Bella Jewel books are both on sale today for $.99 for anyone who's interested [MC]. Books Read this week and my rating: Addicted to You - Krista Ritchie = 5 Ricochet – Krista Ritchie = 5 Seize Me – Crystal Spears = 4 Sweet Surrendering – Chelsea M. Cameron = 3.5-4 Saving Dallas – Kim Jones = 2.5 - 3 Diamond Girl – Andrea Smith = 4 Reaper’s Property – Joanna Wylde = oops, currently reading Poughkeepsie – Debra Anastasia = 2.5 [Blossom, you asked me to let you know about this one. IMO it started out great, then about ¼ through it seemed to start falling apart with too many storylines, then got drawn out. I skimmed the last half of the book, though she does write beautifully] Last edited by Blue2u; 10-20-2013 at 01:21 PM. |

On principle I refuse to pay Amazon for books until they realize that DRM is evil and should not be used. Even though I know how to remove it, not paying for it is the only statement they will ever notice or understand.

Only spent $5.06 this week on 4 books.
I've been otherwise occupied all week so only read 2 books. I haven't even started to play the Kobo game yet. - An Act of Persuasion - Stephanie Doyle - 3 (disappointing, I really liked her 2 previous books) - Originally Human - Eileen Wilks - 3.5 (good rating from me for a novella) |

BTW, it's the publishers you need to convince, not the retailers. Unless you're talking about a title published by Amazon. The retailers are guilty, if you want to use that word, of offering DRM, but they have to if they want to be able to sell books from the major publishers. |
