I didn't buy any books this week. I am still reading Book 5 of Bones and Cat series about 60% in but I spent most of my time reading up on Sims 2 which is alot of reading and downloading. I haven't been feeling well this week and hubby is on crutches with a severe gout attack so it's been stressful.

I will say my laptop I got for my birthday last year is finally getting used instead of collecting dust. I just wished the view angle was better on it.

Oh and just a little mention if you changed any payment info with Amazon in the last month. You might want to check it again. I changed over my music subscription to my new card last month but it still came out on the old card this week which nearly cost me a $75 bounce fee at the bank. I think when they switch over to the new site look they reverted because when I checked the old card was set as payment. I've deleted it from the account this time so hopefully that can't happen again.

Is that what happened? I knew I had deleted my expired card and added the new one but yesterday I got a "can not complete transaction, update payment info" message. Then it charged my credit card instead of taking from my gift card balance. Only 89¢ and 99¢ but I'm glad I looked at the invoice. Using the MP3 cart I still can't figure out how to get it to charge my gift balance. Oh well.

I have a question about Lisa Renee Jones. I am reading "If I were you" right now based on Blossoms rec, but for some reason it is listed as author Paul Walgren on Scribd. So I google the names together and the book seems to be listed on many book sites as Paul Walgren. Listed as his first novel.

Is Lisa Renee Jones a man with a pen name? Or did something get messed up somewhere along the line with listing the book. But I find that name connected to the book all over, not just Scribd. . Interesting. I like the book so far, so it wouldn't change my opinion or not make me wanna read it. I was just curious.

I also have been trying to update payment in my cloud storage subscription on Amazon and it keeps coming back as payment method not valid. I been using that CC just today to buy a regular product on Amazon and I think its because my CC expires in November this year and the renewal for the Cloud is in 2015. Can't think of anything else. Not sure if its the cloud of the music that is causing the issue as I subscribe to both, but one is due in 10 days. I guess I'll find out soon.

Perhaps he is her editor or cover artist? I don't know but I have talk to Lisa a few times on Facebook and watch her couple videos on You tube with her and her new husband and I can tell you she is a pretty woman with long black hair and a wicked sense of humor.

Ah thanks. I guess something went wierd at some point listing the book then. I almost didn't find it on Scribd.

It seems to be just that one book, I think? Mainly on Scribd, Half.com, and some other places. I'm not sure if he's a co-author on that particular book, or an editor. (Sometimes the editors get listed as co-authors, even on Amazon.) Or maybe it's a glitch in the listing. On Amazon, he's not listed at all.

Or maybe, like you say, that's her real name.

It's the only thing I can think of. Hubby was ticked at me for most of the day because of it. *sigh* Amazon needs to get it together!

Question, has anyone here read After I Do – Taylor Jenkins Reid? Debating whether to put it in my 'buy' pile for the next KC .

I haven't read After I Do, but Taylor's book Forever, Interrupted is WONDERFUL. It's a tearjerker, but amazingly done.

Thank you for replying. Now I'll have to look at both the books!




Freebie for those who are looking for something a little different. I don't usually read romantic/suspense/time travel but this one just sounded so good had to grab it.

A Twist in Time - E.G. Glover

blurb: Mystery Hill, an ancient stone circle in New Hampshire, is a place of legend and its true purpose has all but been lost with the passage of time.

Roger Grayson is less than a week away from marrying Lisa Barnet when the unthinkable happens, and she is torn away from him in a fatal car accident.

A year later, when Roger reluctantly gives in to pressure from his best friend to get out of the house, he is surprised to find an interest in what Richard Adahy, the enigmatic Indian caretaker of Mystery Hill, has to say about the folklore surrounding the circle…and the behavior of the Indian’s peculiar pet crow, Percy. Richard’s antiquated stories turn Roger’s despair for his lost love into a fraught hope.

With the autumn equinox fast approaching, Roger decides to push away his friend’s warnings to stay clear of Richard and his mystical hill, and travel back in time to seize the only chance he has of saving Lisa’s life.
