Finished the third Fever book and now on the Library list for the 4th. I'm not sure I can wait. Might have to buy it. It is a cold weekend.
I think I will check out to Ward's BDB series next, after "listening" to the 2011 and 2012 reading threads.

I know, I want to start reading the Highlander series- BDB? I've seen it mentioned a few times here- Whats the name of the first book? might have to look into that one too. once I have the first book in a series in one format, i have to wait and get them all in that format. If i buy the first book in Hardcover, they all have to be hardcover, if i get it on my kindle, they are all digital. I can't mix my formats, not even hard cover and paperback. lol So renting them from the library on my kindle, If i was going to go buy the 4th book, i'd have to buy them all. I'm wierd like that.

And I found out earlier this week that our library FINALLY has ebooks now, so I need to run over there and get a new card. I don't think I've renewed mine since high school.

What is Lendle?
EGB - Took a quick look at Outlander. I think I'll be adding that to my TBR list. Did you read all the books in the series?

And am anxiously awaiting the next one, she left a HUGE cliffhanger at the end of the last one. I do not, however, read the companion Lord John series, although you might enjoy them. I do not personally like Lord John.

Hunger Games (in preparation for the movie in March) EGB- I did read the Hunger Games (because of the suggestions here). I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I can't wait for the movie. I got my mom to read it because I just wouldn't shut up talking about the books. She is loving them too!

If I understood it correctly, it's a "bridge" service that connects people who have Kindle books they are willing to share with people looking for those books to take advantage of Amazon's share function. I didn't have time last night to do more than skim the FAQs because there was a nasty storm blowing in, but I think that was the gist of it. It looked like you have to list and lend x amount of books before you can place a borrow request, and there was something about the website paying you in Amazon gift cards after a certain number of lends. Of course, Amazon's 1-lend limit still applies, so after someone has borrowed one of your Kindle books you can't ever lend it out again. I wonder how long that is going to last?

Okay, I think Outlander is getting bumped up on the list. And they're long too - think GRRM long, so they take a while to read. I think there are 8 out right now. Becca - sort of. But also historical and romance. And well written.

I loved the Hunger Games and couldn't get in to the Outlander series. I'm probably the only person I know that feels that way.

Did you sign up through Amazon? My library has ebooks now but their selection is very limited and any that I would be interested in are ones that I have already read.

Nope, someone here mentioned it earlier so I googled Lendle. I only have one email address (other than work) right now, so I won't be going any farther with it until I get a second one set up. They strongly recommend that you do NOT use your primary email address for the service.
