I'm looking forward to the libraries adding new titles again. It's been two months of releases yet to be bought at any of my libraries I'm a member of. It's quite unusual.

Checking in

I read Skipping Christmas which isn't really a romance. Stick with the movie. The movie is my absolutely favorite holiday movie. The book is super boring and not funny at all.

I am reading Potent Pleasure by Eloisa James. I'm half way through. I'm still reading Stray by Rachel Vincent.

I didn't buy any books but I got alot of books for Christmas. Enough to fill one shelf on my new bookcase I got for my birthday. Real books not ebooks. Most are used. One is a original cover of Johanna Lindsey's A Pirates Love and the original cover of The Bride by Julie Garwood. I think that's pretty cool. Alot of the books I got aren't available in eBook.

The entire Kathleen Turner series is on sale for $0.99 each!!!

I highly recommend the series. It was my first reads of 2016 and I devoured them.

Smashwords does gifting. Beneath the buy button on each book page there's a "Gifting" option.

I'm pretty sure she was looking for a mainstream book not an indie but thanks.

Hmmm, Breath of Fire by Amanda Bouchet is not listed at Kobo yet. Goes on sale today. I wonder what Sourcebooks is doing.

Guess I shall have to wait to read it.

I miss Discover a New Love. At least you could buy ebooks directly from Sourcebooks then. (ETA: They only have the book listed in print, though it appears you can buy the first book in the series as epub).

AnemicOak · 01-03-2017, 01:30 AM

If you're looking for ePub, and not specifically Kobo, BAM has it as does Google.

Sourcebooks does sell some eBooks direct still, but it seems quite hit or miss as to what's available.

Don't know how Sourcebooks usually is with Kobo, but for some publishers/authors they still seem like an afterthought and books get put up there late.

library addict · 01-03-2017, 01:34 AM

Yeah, I guess I'll have to get it at Google.

There just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what Sourcebooks sells at Kobo and what they don't. It's strange.

AnemicOak · 01-03-2017, 01:35 AM

I was surprised to see that BAM is actually cheaper than both Google & Amazon for it. Haven't bought an eBook from them before, but if their prices are generally lower I might have to consider it.

library addict · 01-03-2017, 01:40 AM

Hmm, I've never used BAM either. I figured it was same price everywhere.

I shall see about setting up an account there.

Blossom · 01-03-2017, 01:43 AM

Freading will have it if you have FLP or another public library that subscribes to them. They usually have it later that day or the next. If you want to read it for free. Hoopla may too. I can't remember if they have sourcebooks or not.

Yeah, none of my libraries have it.

I set up an account with BAM and used Paypal.

It still shows as a pre-order, so not sure what time zone they're using. But hey, I got it for $5.34 plus tax. And it's always good to have another store to buy books at.

ETA: Booksamillion is also on Swagbucks. Shame I didn't check that before placing my order, but I'll know for next time.

AnemicOak · 01-03-2017, 01:52 AM

Look forward to your experience. From what they say on their website it should be a simple straight ADE download so hopefully no issues there. I wonder if they're using a distributor (like OverDrive) or if they're running their own Content Server.
