I think you've hit upon the last untapped market of the internet.<br /><br />I will definitely send you the Sookie book and have you pass it around the office. I get that Amazon is discounting the hardback (to 14.70), but the idea of paying 14.99 for the Kindle version is just galling. We are *saving* you the money of the printed book. Don't jerk me around with the price gouging. It's annoying. I am happy to enable the "stick-it-to-the-publishers" spirit. And you know I'll just read it super fast, so you won't have to wait for long.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to the "This American Life" (um, this Russian life?) link. Definitely the amazing part of the book was that the workers knew nothing about the risks they were taking. It was appalling. <br /><br />JJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761784460667108854.post-77172095528286727782011-05-02T17:43:46.754-04:002011-05-02T17:43:46.754-04:00As always, I'm envious of the speed at which y...As always, I'm envious of the speed at which you read. I'm barely pulling off my 1 book per month on our TBR journey! The Tana French books sound great -- verrry interested in those now.<br /><br />Chernobyl must be on a lot of people's minds right now -- did you hear the This American Life that touched on this topic? Interviews with people who had *no* idea what the danger was that they were dealing with. Wow. Super freaky. The episode was <a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/431/see-no-evil" rel="nofollow">See No Evil</a> and the story was excerpts from a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Voices-Chernobyl-History-Nuclear-Disaster/dp/0312425848/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304371817&sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">Voices From Chernobyl</a>. Powerful, freaky stuff. Heartbreaking.<br /><br />I gotta read that <i>Olive Kitteridge</i> -- sounds great and Judy loved it, too. Two solid good reviews from my two favorite readers! :)<br /><br />Love those Succubus books and I knew you would too -- she's a great character. (And YES! The covers are HILARIOUS!) My other problem with getting into a series is that I *cannot* keep up with when new ones are coming out -- especially if I'm into multiple series. I've had some success by creating an RSS feed that points directly to the authors' websites, but this is somewhat exhausting. In a world of notifications, I wish there was a simpler way of getting a heads up when the authors I like have new books coming out. Am I missing something? Is there a simple solution that I've totally overlooked? <br /><br />I am intrigued by both <i>Great House</i> and <i>Mr. Peanut</i> -- it looks like you had a *stellar* book month in April! <br /><br />WTF is with the Kindle version of Sookie being *more* that the physical version?! I would even take the *same* amount. Maybe. But more?! MORE?! <br /><br />The only good think I can say is that at least they *have* a Kindle version on the release date this time. But they are *losing* money by pulling this BS. Last time, six of my co-workers passed a single copy around. We are all Kindle users (and Sookie addicts!) If there had been a Kindle version, all six of us would have *bought* it. This way, we were so mad, we just bought the one. Ugh. <br /><br />Yes. Send it to me when you're done. I'll pass it around at the office when I'm finished. ;)kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832228313612518377noreply@blogger.com
