Makes my 20 titles seem manageable.

I just finished it after starting the sample last Sunday night. Whew! It is veeeery long, according to Mantano page numbering it is 1060 pages long (an average romance book is usually around 260ish so this is equal to 4 books). It was $6.50 well spent (or 4 x $1.62 if you're having trouble justifying $6.50

).

As long as it is, I never grew bored with it, in fact if it kept going I'd still be happily reading. I give it one of my rarely awarded 5 stars.

A very kind person here has loaned me the book since I was on the fence about reading it. I plan to start it as soon as I finish my current book. Wanted to wait until I'd at least have a few hours to dive in since it is so long.

I've never used the lend option but if anyone here wants to read it let me know.

Once again it's time to play the game we all love and hate!

What Did You Buy This Week?

I bought 14 Books this week I think....
I also bought two cases for my KFHDX coming in this week!

I read the last two remaining Rebecca's lost Journals:
His Submissive = 4.5
My Master = 4.0
I am reading Being Me by Lisa Renee Jones. I'm about 30% in.

mikaelalind · 10-13-2013, 04:21 AM

I only bought 3 books, this week: Naughty Karma by Vivi Andrews (2.60 w the Samhain Coupon), Blue Clouds by Patricia Rice, Dead Man's Hand by Pati Nagle ( not a romance.) Total cost: 4.60.

.

booklover6 · 10-13-2013, 06:41 AM

I bought up 7 Kim Knox books from Kobo this week, using the 50% off code.

NixLapi · 10-13-2013, 07:20 AM

I didn't buy anything again!

I read Play with Me and Rock with Me by Kristen Proby - both pretty standard contemporary indie romances, but don't read them back to back!

I have to admit it is a blend of novels and novellas. I would say 40% novels and the rest are short stories. I really hope to whittle it down this year.

Meg Cabot's Size 12 Is Not Fat is $1.99 at Amazon It looks like a 5 book chick lit/mystery series with a dash of romance that evolves over the course of the series.

Blurb:
Heather Wells Rocks!

Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two -- and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft.

The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen -- not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives -- even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective!

But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong . . .
