Oh now that is just mean! All these really good books are part of why I have about four I've stopped mid-way through - I keep stopping 'meh' ones to read new ones!

I think the title of this thread should be changed to Enablers 'R Us! I like to tell my hubby about how much others spend on books, SO nice not to be alone in that! lol

I REALLY need to get on booking a trip for the next time Kobo has one of these contests! I've read about The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie too and would love to read it, but can't get it at my libraries of course.

I didn't know you could use a code on Simon & Schuster books?! And the being on a beach in Mexico sounds like the best part!!

I do the opposite; with my local account I get to use the codes on Agency books but for availability I travel to the US all the time

We enablers need to stick together! But seriously, a lot of the ones I got are exactly what you said, on my wishlist forever and never go on sale. I try to get a few of these each time there's good Kobo codes lurking around.

Lick is couponable in the States, 'TunnelBear' is helpful!
And I'm getting very tired of waiting for Tangled to come to Kobo, it's on all sorts of bestseller lists, so why the heck wouldn't they RUSH to get it up on their site? Makes no sense to me.

Re: Kindle, no I don't have one, and because I'm in Canada can't do the Prime lending thing here. But thank you SO much for that incredibly kind offer. That's so sweet of you.
But I would like to know what you thought of it? I re-read the sample this weekend and I was very, very tempted to just buy it already!
It's possible you can still borrow the book. Couple months ago I was checking lending sites, and at least according to one it's possible to borrow book just not to lend it if you're out of US, and with kindle app. I didn't try since that seemed a little bit unfair, but I was sure tempted! I'm still hoping something similar will be made in Europe.

Well, thanks for pushing me over the edge on that one. Bought it with a 50% off code. DRM-free, no less. First book I've bought from Kobo in ages.

Well, you could:
  • tip your hat
  • give a sweet curtsey
  • show your rock solidarity
  • raise your glass in a cheer
  • show your appreciation with a flower
  • nod your agreement
  • do the wave
  • offer a round of applause
  • or bow!
