I've been seriously torturing myself by reading reviews from BN, goodreads, amazon, and all that other stuff. No spoilers though, but I still read. And I have to say I am so excited of what the readers have been saying. Especially this very heroic, selfless thing Gabe did in the end. And how they said the climax is super awesome!! I cant wait! ;D<br /><br />-ronna<br /><br />*You should read the reviews they have in gooreads Pamela. They're really awesome reviews.

When they read what other readers thing, I think it helps to narrow down their choices.<br /><br />What do the rest of you say? Do reviews from readers help you choose whether to buy a book or not? What do you all think should be included in reviews?<br /><br />But, Kara, don't feel that you need to go do this. Some people (including lurkers) are putting up reviews, however, and I am thrilled that they're not giving away the crux of the story. <br /><br />Hi, Linda — I'm so glad you'll be joining in. That student of yours sounds like he had some real potential. The combination of dark hair and blue eyes does me in.

He was only fifteen, but I'd say he had the potential to be a looker, and he was already a smart-ass. And he skied.

The count is one less so it's in real time. Of the five stores on my fave list 4 had it in stock. Now none of them do. I went Friday after tennis & the books were gone by then. I'm going to look for at the grocery stores etc.<br /><br />I have also asked staff to get a book for me on release day if it showed that they had stock. I drag them to one of the various computers throughout the store & show them what the cover looks like LOL.<br /><br />My fault - I waited too long.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-54815809276161224832010-03-06T17:56:36.781-07:002010-03-06T17:56:36.781-07:00Hi, Kara — LOL @ being nice to Julian fans.

Perhaps focusing on Gabe would be the thing to do, and given what he goes through — no hints! — he deserves some attention, right?<br /><br />How exciting that the book was gone! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does well for two reasons 1) I can keep writing and 2) I get one step closer to leaving the day job!<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to read it so quickly and still savor it. :-)<br /><br />And, yes, let's have calmer weeks this next week.<br /><br />Hi, Mary G — Well, I didn't sleep much, so that helped. LOL! In bed at midnight, up at 4 AM. <br /><br />Are you sure those 5 Chapter stores were sold out? It's more likely that the books are in boxes in the back. You might ask at the counter and have them look it up in their system.

But it sounds like you've got a good time in store for you, so that's great. Any place named "Lake Charles" sounds like a good place to go. (I like water.)<br /><br />LOL about your experience in BAM. I bet those models DO have weird tan lines. They'll turn into weird wrinkle lines when they're in their 30s. <br /><br />Your experience is pretty typical, however. Oftentimes readers go into a store and think the book is "sold out" because they don't see it, when in fact it's in the back and hasn't even been unpacked yet. By the time they get it in shelves, the author has already lost sales.<br /><br />So THANK YOU for asking and having the guy look for them. I've done that when I've wanted books by my favorite authors. When they say, "Can you come back in a couple of days because we haven't unpacked them yet," I say, "I'll wait while you unpack them. The book's release date is today, and it should be on the shelves." (Yes, I have truly done this.)<br /><br />Most of the time they're good about getting it when you ask, just as this guy with the sexy voice was.<br /><br />So again, THANKS!Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38836389.post-13586382248930939142010-03-06T17:44:09.352-07:002010-03-06T17:44:09.352-07:00Hi, Limecello — So sorry you can't make the ch...Hi, Limecello — So sorry you can't make the chat.

I didn't consider the mirrored backing of the shelf, etc. When I went back today to try again, it was gone! You're welcome to the shot I have - if I can figure out how to get it to you.
