This week has great steals and deals. Click on the book covers to go to Amazon. Thanks and happy reading. Caroline Linden’s I Love the Earl is just 1.99. We haven’t reviewed this one but we’ve given many of her other works high marks. Here’s the description from Amazon. Many other books are currently 4.99 which…

Like many other romance fans, I’d heard about the big Harlequin sale that started on November 10. Harlequin has been selling eBook editions for 10 years. They’re celebrating by having a big sale. Really big. 10,000 titles will be available for $1.99, until November 17. You can buy directly from Harlequin, or from other retailers…
Kate Stewart’s latest, Anything But Minor, is a DIK from us. It’s a witty book and we thought it would be fun to ask Kate some questions. She agreed AND is throwing in an ebook of Anything But Minor to one lucky reader. (Make a comment below to be entered in this drawing.) Dabney: You sure…
It’s always a joy to meet new authors at RWA. We’d chatted with Teri Wilson whose first trade paperback with Gallery Books, The Accidental Beauty Queen, will come out this December. Wilson says the plot is romance catnip: Miss Congeniality meets The Parent Trap.
In December I interviewed historical romance author Sarah MacLean. I had contacted her because of a letter she had sent to the New York Times taking them to task for excluding romance authors and their works from a “Sex” issue published in the Sunday Book Review.
Are we supposed to choose a book we haven’t read or one we don’t mind reading again?
Whatever you want!
Okay, I’ll go with a reread then!
I don’t think the survey has saved my answers to the first 2 questions though……….
🙁
That was tough! The only question I felt at all sure about was how many books I buy. I’d only heard of 4 books on the list, only read two, and didn’t know half the authors. What a diverse list! It was so hard to decide based on the book blurbs. No matter what, though, I’ve now learned something about 6 new-to-me authors in the process!
I voted for ‘Orientation’ because I’ve seen people rave about Gregory Ashe here on AAR and I’ve already read ‘Slippery Creatures’ twice. 🙂
Funny, the only two books on the list I’d read were Slippery Creatures and Orientation, which I just recently finished. I think I picked Orientation (I was debating until the last second,and now can’t quite remember), because it’s a book with complex characters and I wouldn’t mind some discussion about them.
I’d certainly be up for discussing either of those book!
Interesting . . . I’ve read about half the list. I voted for a book I’ve already read and think will lend itself to an interesting conversation. And have added several I have not read to my tbr.
What’s the time limit on this? Y’all caught me by surprise with the one day survey last time?
It will be open through the weekend although there’s a new blog going up tomorrow.
I voted for Jeannie Lin’s book because even though I’ve read it, it opened up an whole new world for me. I loved it, so I probably won’t be able to add anything but squees to a discussion. But I would love for more people to read and love it.
Voted for the Jo Goodman because it turns out I have it, unread, in my bookcase. I’m trying to whittle down the number of books in my TBR, and this would be a great excuse to finish at least one of them. There are several Jo Goodman titles on my shelves, but this is the only one I’ve not yet read.
As for what percent of books I buy, I wrote 100%, but that only relates to romances. Most of my non-romance reading is from the library. I buy some recently published books new in order to support authors, but it should be noted that most of my purchases are older books bought from UBS, so the average cost per book is about $1.
I picked All I Ever Needed by Goodman because I already have it and 3 other books in the same series tbr. I’ve read several on the list and have some others tbr.
I picked 100% purchased, but some of my ebook reading is freebies, so I’m not sure if they should count as purchased. I donate to my local library system, but don’t use it because I have an extensive personal library.
I picked physical book because you didn’t give a choice of a non-Kindle eReader (I have e-ink readers from Kobo, since all my earlier e-ink readers from Sony have died).
I’m making a concerted effort to read either library books or books from my existing tbr pile (with a few exceptions). In terms of a book club pick, my library system has 6 of the 14 books, so of course I’d choose one of them (although I didn’t check hoopla, so there might be more available to me).
You can still vote here and help us pick the next book club!
