FREE/BARGAIN - Romance + Discussion - 2016

FYI -- All About Romance has now moved to its new site -- http://allaboutromance.com/! The old likesbooks.com site is now redirecting to the new site. So you might want to update your bookmarks -- especially message board and blog bookmarks as those are all hosted on the new site. (Sadly, we had to leave most of the old threads behind, but we found a nice place for ATBF, Purple Prose Parody, and other favorites on the new site.)

And the new site is really purty.

When I logged into Harlequin My Rewards there is a bonus I am interested in:
INTRIGUE JULY BONUS
Earn 3000 points when you submit your purchase of any of the July 2016 Harlequin Intrigue series books from wherever you prefer to shop.

On the Harlequin website is says:
Harlequin.com EXCLUSIVE!
Get 3000 My Rewards points on the purchase of any August 2016 Harlequin Western Romance of Harlequin Intrigue title.

Here are my questions:
1. Is this correct? You can get 3,000 points for all the Jul and Aug Harlequin Intrigue books (@ the Harlequin website)? Seems I saw similar offers for a different series a few months ago and thought they got the month wrong.
2. If I purchased the eBooks in the sets/bundles, would I still receive 3,000 bonus points for each eBook or just the set? Has anyone done this?

Each eBook is $4.49 separately, which would be $53.88 total
Each set is $11.99, which would be $47.96
A savings of $5.92. Not tremendous but....I like to save money.

Plus 12 eBooks for 3,000 points each is 36,000 points - 18 FREE eBooks!

And if I purchase these on Friday Freebie day - I can get even more FREE eBooks!

Spoiler:

“If you want to date me, all you need to do is say the word. I’d never let you go.”

I added Sage to my rugby club’s annual list of women who are off limits thinking I could protect her from the gorillas I play with. Aspen's a small town in the off season when the dating pool shrinks to the size of a melted snowflake. Never did I think I’d be the one to break the code and date her.

Even if it’s all for show. A wager between friends. An excuse to hang out with her more.

Nothing more than that.
Right?

***

Who agrees to date their best friend over a green smoothie? Apparently this girl right here.

Now the man-bun-sporting South African rugby god next door is my fake boyfriend. I need to rebuild my confidence after some poor dating decisions. Who could be better to fluff my ego than Aspen’s hottest bachelor?

This situation is a win-win.
Right?

Next to You is a standalone Romantic Comedy/New Adult Romance about a rugby player and an heiress in Aspen. Stan and his man bun first appeared in the Modern Love Story Short, Take for Granted. This is a full-length novel told in dual POVs.

Next to You will be released on July 5th as part of the multi-author Friends with Benefits series.

I forgot it's Sunday. I purchased two books by C.J Lyons. Her FBI series. They were 99 cents but I got them both for $1 at Kobo with coupon.

I didn't read this week due to a convention I went to. It concluded last night. So I plan to read a lot this week.

It was a super long stressful week. I'm ready to relax and read.

$1.99 - Suddenly One Summer

Spoiler:

Divorce lawyer Victoria Slade has seen enough unhappy endings to swear off marriage forever. That doesn't mean she's opposed to casual dating—just not with her cocky new neighbor, who is as gorgeous and tempting as he is off-limits. But once she agrees to take on his sister's case, she's as determined to win as ever—even if that means teaming up with Ford....

Investigative journalist Ford Dixon is bent on finding the man who got his sister pregnant and left her high and dry. He's willing to partner with Victoria, despite the fact that the beautiful brunette gets under his skin like no other woman. He might not be looking to settle down, but there's no denying the scorching attraction between them. Still, the more time he spends with Victoria, the more he realizes that the one woman as skeptical about love as he is might be the only woman he could really fall for…

So annoyed with myself. My Brooklyn library card expired last week, the day before I went out of town. So now I have to wait for one of the nice people to fix me up.

Last time it took one day to get it all renewed. Hang in there.

Okay How do you all keep track of your Harlequin Reward codes? I am losing track on what was used and what is still available.

I just use a simple Notepad document I used to use for the Kobo contest codes.

I copy & paste the code on it with the date when I redeem points for a code.

When I buy a book I cut & paste the earliest code from the document to the website, but don't save changes unless the transaction goes through to be sure the code worked (so I can hit undo if it doesn't). Once the transaction is completed, then I erase the date and the next code is now on top for the next time.

I also keep all of the reward code confirmation emails.

It looks like this:
xxxxxxxx May 1

xxxxxxxx May 3

xxxxxxxx May 6

I just keep the email in my Inbox and delete it once I've used the code.

I was trying a method like LA's but I still got lost. I'm going to try a spreadsheet. I've got 15 codes total and 4 books so I've only used 4 codes but no clue which ones.
