Midnight Man by Lisa Marie Rice (Midnight #1) Kindle | Nook | Ellora's Cave

Interior decorator Suzanne Barron's new tenant is the most dangerously sexy man she's ever met. Navy Commander John Huntington, a former SEAL (aka 'Midnight Man') works best under cover of darkness. Within hours of meeting him, Suzanne has wild, no-holds barred sex with John, then panics at the depth of her passionate response to such a powerful and dangerous warrior. Suzanne doesn't do sex like that. John is definitely someone she needs to avoid for her own peace of mind. But when killers come for her, Suzanne knows she can turn to only one man. John will guard and protect her body. But who will guard and protect her body against John?

Free from Amazon:

Airborne - The Hanover Restoration US DE by Blair Bancroft (former Signet and present Ellora's Cave author).

Miss Araminta Galsworthy travels to the home of her new guardian, Baron Julian Rochefort, an inventor like her father, only to find herself confronted by strange machines, hastily married, shot at, and attacked by those who consider her husband's airship, Aurora, the work of the devil. She is also expected to play hostess to a bevy of guests, all of whom seem to be engaged in treason. Their intent: restore the monarchy, a shocking concept to Minta, who was only ten when the Duke of Wellington seized the government. Lord Rochefort's enemies are legion: rival aeronauts from the continent, rival monarchists who want to place the Duke of Cumberland on the throne (or possibly the Duke of Cambridge). And a wily Wellington, who has allowed an already autocratic nature to grow into despotism over the course of his reign.

Minta struggles to adjust to a new husband, new enemies, and new friends—one a princess who must rise above her rivals for the throne. Minta must also adjust to the concept of being an integral part of a revolution, not an easy task for a girl raised to government by Britain's most famous general. Yet when the day of revolution arrives, Minta plays a vital role, but comes perilously close to losing her chance to live a life where she, not Aurora, is the center of her husband's universe.

I think I'm losing control over my library. I use Calibre so that's helped me so much already. I currently have 3 libraries, 1 for my main library [500+], 1 for freebies [1000+], and I manage one for my Mom's Kobo. I recently added a 4th library for books I know I won't read again, but want to keep for reference so I don't mistakenly buy/download those again.

How do you guys manage your libraries? How do you sort/keep your current and past books?

[and this is thread-related because it's this forums' fault that I have so many books to keep track of! ]

I do the multiple libraries. 1 For Kindle Freebies, 1 For ADE Freebies and non Kindle freebies, 1 for Paid books I actually bought, 1 for Read books, 1 for To Be Read books and 1 For books on the Kindles.

I use custom columns to keep track what store and what format they are and so on.

[chilady1]

I am in awe of you folks managing multiple libraries. I can't do that - so instead I have one library that has custom columns and tags that allow me to manage my entire library.

I don't track where I purchased the book from or whether it was free or not.

[booklover6]

I have libraries by genre...erotica (the biggest), paranormal romance/UF, historical romance, contemporary/suspense romance, m/m romance, SF/F/YA, and a kids books library. I don't really find it a problem managing all of them. I have custom columns, one for Device (so I know what it's on, if anything), and another showing formats. The erotica one has a genre column, too. I also tend to use different libraries with different devices.

Oh I forgot I made another library called 2013 TBR with about 100 books in it. Why? I don't know LOL. But those are all on the Kindle paperwhite. The red Sony gets historical/contemp/suspense romance. The kindle keyboard has all m/m. The black sony has paranormal romance and erotica.

The problem with this system is, I only want to read on the paperwhite. It's so much better than the others! I guess that's why I made the 2013 library, as it has some from every genre.

*sigh* maybe I should trade them all in for multiple paperwhites! LOL! Then I could have a different case for each one, to differentiate...I'll have to think on that! The paperwhite can't match the way Sony does series, though.

I have to do multiple I have nearly 10,000 books or more. Calibre would choke on me.

[AnemicOak]

One library here (and it's in serious need of tagging) of about 2,500 books.

I grab a lot of freebies, can't seem to help it (it's a sickness), but I don't actually add them to my Calibre library until/unless I'm ready to read them or it's a book I read as paper in the past. All my freebies are backed up, but I haven't felt the need to setup a Calibre library for them (yet).
