New Leaf Vote for April 2018 • It's All Relative: Time - Page 3

Dazrin · 03-11-2018, 11:05 PM

Only 2 less than February though.

For one of those two votes...I have had a severe lack of time recently which will continue for at least the next month and I can't commit to reading anything at this point. I wasn't even able to check availability this time around. I still hope to read the selection but without being sure I didn't want to sway things in any direction.

I should be able to start March's selection this week. It's short so hopefully that means I can finish it too.

I was able to find the book in my Cloud Library. You might want to try that as an option too. I always try my Overdrive libraries first! This book may not be that easy to locate in the US.

I have Making History ready to side load. I'll do so between soonish and when I fininish The Old Man and the Sea (52% done).

CRussel · 03-12-2018, 03:59 PM

Fortunately, this book is available at a reasonable price at AmazonUK. £2.99

Frankly, I didn't relish paying $10 USD for it.

I got it from Overdrive.

CRussel · 03-12-2018, 04:19 PM

Not currently available at my library, Jon. And not likely to be acquired before I need it, though I did make a recommendation for it.

astrangerhere · 03-12-2018, 05:37 PM

I was lucky enough to get a hardback version from my library today. Plan to start it tonight with the snowy/icy weather outside, chicken soup, and a nice Hop Cakes Imperial IPA for desert.

Waiting for a print copy from the Ottawa Public Library - in transit, so hopefully soon available for pickup at my home branch.

CRussel · 03-12-2018, 07:26 PM

If it weren't so difficult for me to read DT books, I might well do that, bfisher. But being able to get it for $5.34 CAD ($4.15 USD) gets it down to a price I'm willing to pay.

Yes, I'd prefer the ebook version, but it's $CAD 10.99 at amazon.ca vs $15.09 at Kobo. If they had priced it at $5. I might have gone for that.

Yup, I understand. Neither of the Canadian sources was a viable option for me.

gmw · 03-13-2018, 08:09 AM

Not cheap in Australia, either. AUD$14.99 is stretching the friendship for an e-book.

Bookpossum · 03-13-2018, 08:15 AM

Agreed. Luckily for me, my library has it.

latepaul · 03-13-2018, 08:28 AM

I have a 'hold' on this at my library. Apparently I'm first in line but I think the current person could still have it for a while. If it doesn't get to me before 1st Mar I'll probably buy it.

astrangerhere · 03-13-2018, 08:38 AM

For everyone waiting to get to the book - it is a quick read. I go through 100 pages in one sitting (and that was with the slowing addition of two 16 oz IPAs).
