Well Kobo still shows the books as pre-order, so no 11pm for me

On the other hand I am up to 2000 in my date read project. Why do so many romance books have the same titles? I am so glad I used to go on reading gloms back in the 80s. So I knew one Impulse was Nora Roberts' novella and the other Candace Camp and yet another Vicki Lewis Thompson. The one word titles are the worst offenders

Okay checking in as real life was just too hectic and stressful for me to do it yesterday.

I bought 5 books last week. All 99 cents except the Blue Blood it was $2.99.

I read:

Holiday In Death by J.D. Robb (3 stars)
Midnight In Death by J.D. Robb (3 Stars)

Nine Lives by Sharon Sala (3 Stars): The thing is when you pick up a Sala book you never know what you're going to get. Unlike most authors she doesn't have a particular writing style other than her characters are going to be southern in some way. This could be due to the fact she claims she dreams her story in vivid color with dialogue. This series is well out there. It was entertaining but it didn't do it for me like her other books I've read and really liked alot. This one I had to suspend disbelief a few times to get through it.

I am reading:

The Defiant Hero by Suzanne Brockmann: This is another slow one. I am not sure this series is for me. I am really trying to give it another try after the first book I read last year. It seems that she is just not really good as writing page turners. She has these two stories going on in one book that really irritates me. This no way to build up suspense in my opinion.

Conspiracy In Death by J.D. Robb: Just started this one so not much to say yet. lol

I am listening to Rock Chick by Kristen Ashely which was a 5 star read for me when I read it in ebook. I love this book it's just so awesome! I love the narrator she picked. She really does bring Indy alive. I listen to it before bed as I try to get through another frustrating level of Candy Crush!

So Unwound by Lorelei James comes out today! Wheee! The sad part is the Audible narrator is not the same as the first book. This one is done by Luke Daniels who I think is more a reader than voice actor. So that means I will be paying a full $8 to read the ebook but hey today is also my 14th wedding anniversary so it's okay to splurge for this right? I tell myself it is. Money is really tight right now due to hubby missing work because he's been ill on and off so I feel guilty paying that much for a book but I will talk myself into it.

I may have to only buy one book this week to keep the guilt down.

Spoiler:

I really like this book too. I am about 1/2 through the whole series.

Happy Anniversary! You sure the ebook settlement payoff didn't pay for your book?

I got a whopping ~$31 credit. Not too bad, I thought, until I was scanning my twitter list of favorite authors and saw Courtney Milan managed to get $141.66 back! No wonder it takes authors so long to write a book... they're busy reading other people's works!

hannahi · 03-25-2014, 09:29 AM

Happy anniversary Blossom!
I got a settlement of $163 dollars

Yeah I used to buy a lot of ebooks in the early Agency days. Trying to save some of it for a Popular Science subscription for hubby--he wants to switch from print to digital.

Joykins · 03-25-2014, 09:54 AM

I got $13.87 today for Kindle books! Now, B&N needs to get with it, because I think I may get way, way more from them...

apesmom · 03-25-2014, 10:00 AM

Yippee! $48.18 from Amazon with another $20 or so to come from Kobo & B&N.
Not bad at all when you take into account that my total agency spend was only $198!

Freebie

Lost in Temptation (Temptations #1) by Lauren Royal [Signet 2005]
Kindle | Kobo | Smashwords

Quote:

England, 1815

The eldest of three sisters, Lady Alexandra Chase has always done what was expected of her. But when the man she's loved since her girlhood returns from a long spell abroad, she quite suddenly finds herself hoping the fine lord her brother has picked for her won't propose. She decides that if he does, she'll quite improperly turn him down--that is, until the man of her hopes and dreams informs her he has no intention of marrying her.

The last time Tristan Nesbitt saw Alexandra, he was a common man with no hope of ever wedding the daughter of a marquess. Seven years later, he's now Lord Hawkridge, which should make him eminently suitable for the woman who long ago captured his heart. But a dreadful scandal has tarnished his name in England--a scandal so horrid that marrying Alexandra would ruin not only her flawless reputation but her whole family. For Alexandra's own good, he must fight his relentless desires and stay far away...

hannahi · 03-25-2014, 10:06 AM

Has Kobo sent an email about when we'll recieve credits? I only started buying books at Kobo last spring so I don't know if I'd be eligible. Plus my main Kobo account is set to Norfolk Island

[QUOTE=apesmom;2793463]Not a lot of activity for me this past week, I've been on a 5 season Sons of Anarchy glom. mmmmmmm Charrrrrrlie

Ah, add another to the list who's been 'Samcro'd'.

Question, how are you guys receiving these rebates? This is from the publisher rebates, correct? So I'm assuming only US residents will be refunded?

Also, free today and if you don't have it, I highly recommend it. Tall Tatted and Tempting by Tammy Falkner

Blossom, Happy Anniversary to you and your Hub!
