I just took a book from a swap site, Nine Lives, which Nicole has repeatedly recommended to me. In my defense, I was planning on ordering it from Amazon on March 1st. Of course, that isn’t much of a defense, because now I’ll just pick something else to buy, because I haz gift cards.
I’m also planning to go down to an Indie bookstore I now love the first day in March I’m off work and buy at least one book. They may also let me go through their ARC shelf…
I finally broke down and entered two contests. One for Mockingbird and the other for that darn Louisa May Alcott book. I just couldn’t resist and I will gladly take the other 5 points if I get it. In other news I think that I am going to accept a couple of ARCs. I want Willow. Someone tell me that it wasn’t good!
WILLOW is one of my top 2009 reads and the book I have pushed more than others. Plus I *love* the author! Willow is worth all the points.
Thanks! That one was pretty much a done deal and it was pitched so it won’t be so bad.
Ah, yah, I accepted that Louisa May Alcott book from Trish for a tour. I also accepted one other book yesterday, and may be accepting one more today.
Did you read The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte? That was so good. I’m hoping that this will be the same- serious faux real treatment.
I didn’t, but I read good stuff about it…maybe on your blog?
Even with no mail delivery yesterday I ended up getting 6 books! 4 came from FedEx in one package, then UPS brought me 4 separate packages, with one book each. Sorry, though, Nicole, they are all pre-BLOB acquisitions!
Hmmph

Oh I soooo wish I had an indie store and one with an ARC shelf and one that would have events and invite me. Sigh……

They’re a decent trek, but not as far as you would have to go to find one. I was very pleasantly surprised when I went last time and they invited me back to the ARC shelf, when I planned my next visit with them, they said, “oh, we’ll have to take you back there again!” Not that I’ve read a single ARC I got from them in the last month – or any of the library books I keep renewing. It has been all review copies, all the time.

An indie store with good books AND Amazon gift cards? I’m a teeny tiny bit jealous
I envy you all for doing BLOB (and secretly wished I had joined in)…
