So I hope they would still work if I update, since they are older plugins.

That is why I haven't yet, I am worried it all breaks and I can't backup my books anymore.
I figure as long as it all keeps working, I'm not touching it!


Ok, I'll confess first this week [wait, it's Sunday right? *checks calendar* yep, I have the right day this week! ]
I went over budget, BUT, in my defense most of these were wishlist and higher priced to begin with so I'm very happy with it.

Book Buys this week: 16 books, $26 [-- = 3 not on wishlist]
$1ish
--Falling Into Infinity - Layne Harper
--Love Me Back – Michelle Lynn
--Strength – Carrie Butler
Books 1-4 – The Secret Life of Trystan Scott – H.M. Ward
Fate – Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Ruin – Rachel Van Dyken
Noctalis Chronicles books 1-3 – Chelsea M. Cameron

$3
The Education of [books 1+2] – Jane Harvey-Berrick
$4

I haven't upgraded yet, but reading through the thread in the Calibre forum, I do not see anything about plugins not working. I'm sure many of the people who write/maintain the plugins were part of the extensive Beta testing on the new backend code (which other than the cover grid is the main feature/reason they jumped to the 1 designation). So unless you have some odd plugin that only a few people have, I would think they all work.

I did the plugboard thingy to send my books to my Sony in two extra collections (All Books by Author and All Books by Title). It made sense to me when I did it, but darn if I can make heads or tails of how I did it now

Well I updated and everything still seems to work.

The plugin I am talking about is not one of those calibre supported ones. I don't think we can talk about it on this board, but you know, the ones I need for backing up and liberating my kindle books. . I am still using an older version as I don't want to mess with something that works. No clue if I can figure this one out all over again. But it seems to still operate as is.

The other plugins I got, ones that came through calibre like the goodreads, or resize cover etc seem to also work. I haven't tried all of them yet, but so far so good.

I just discovered virtual libraries and now I am spending even more time sorting and cataloging the books I don't seem to have time to read.
And the cover view is really great. Makes it also easier to add a cover to those I haven't done yet. I still have a lot of cleaning up to do.

But after getting rid of a gazillion bad romance freebies, I am really more careful about what I get. And backlist stuff will always have priority over some first published unknown indy stuff. At least the backlist stuff is full novels and not just chunks.

Goal today is finishing the book I am reading now and hopefully find another good one right after.

If THAT one broke there would be widespread screaming, crying and general panic!

I guess I had to make up for only buying one book last week AND I've got another 7 new releases to grab as they come available next week.

$32.98 for 23 books.

I grabbed Kelley Armstrong's new one (Omen) and the last 2 Women of the Otherworld novels + assorted novellas to fill out the series in my library.

Also got 4 Carla Kelly reissues, Burn by Maya Banks, Uncommon Pleasure by Anne Calhoun, A Touch of Midnight by Lara Adrian and that Perfect Ten box set (got it at Kobo, it was at least an hour of work adding a complete TOC then spliting the epub, adding covers and tweaking the style sheets - still a pretty good bargain.).

Edit: Oops, forgot The Second Chance Cafe by Alison Kent, Killing Time by Cindy Gerard and War Brides by Helen Bryan (darn Amazon and their daily deals and special offers!!!)

You know, sometimes I do feel like I spend more time hunting down books, cataloging them, looking them up to do my vetting, than I do actually reading the darn things.
You read my mind on both thoughts.

With all the computer issues I've been having I did not buy any books last week. But I have some Kobo codes so I do plan to buy some this week.

I did buy books this week just not sure what. I am so disorganized!

I know I bought 6 Julia London books and 6 Julia London Audibles I got for free but that's all I can remember.

Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon Nook Kindle
(Dark-Hunter Series Prequel)
Paranormal Romance
Note: I loved this book! It's not like the other DH novels it stands on its own. It was written before the big boom of paranormals so it's more romantic and funny. If you like old paranormals and have not read this one you will love it!

Quote:
Dear Reader,

Being trapped in a bedroom with a woman is a grand thing. Being trapped in hundreds of bedrooms over two thousand years isn't. And being cursed into a book as a love-slave for eternity can ruin even a Spartan warrior's day.

As a love-slave, I know everything about women. How to touch them, how to savor them, and most of all, how to pleasure them. But when I was summoned to fulfill Grace Alexander's sexual fantasies, I found the first woman in history who saw me as a man with a tormented past. She alone bothered to take me out of the bedroom and onto the world. She taught me to love again.

But I was not born to love. I was cursed to walk eternity alone. As a general, I had long ago accepted my sentence. Yet now I have found Grace--the one thing my wounded heart cannot survive without. Sure, love can heal all wounds, but can it break a two-thousand-year-old curse?

Julian of Macedon
