Nic | 40 comments @ Kylie - There is nothing on your list at the moment that I want but I am HAPPY to send you XVI though. You can just owe me one and whenever you update I will have another look.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

If not, any books labelled ARC (w/o ARC Tour, swapped, Netgalley or Galley Grab - so they're physical copies that I have in possession) may also be available. But you can take a raincheck with me too.

Saskia (deckled_pages) | 310 comments Hey Cass - can you start a discussion post for your books-for-swap so I can beg you for Rosebush ;)

Hi Sas,

You can have Halo (the corner is slightly damaged thanks to my kitten who went on a rampage last year on my bookshelf the rest of it is in vgc) so it is a freebie. No need to trade for that. I can send you Fall For Anything and you can owe me a book for one day. Let me know.

Hi Cass,

There is some books that I want from your shelf

Between The Shades of Gray ~jumps up and down~
Rosebush (I notice that Sas wants this too. I am happy to forward it on to her after I am finished is she hasn't already claimed it)

My books-

Tension of Opposites is hardback and available
Devoured is paperback
Deadly Little Lies (#2) is hardback, while the first in paperback.
Hex Hall is paperback, sorry.

Let me know what you want to do :)


message 20: by Saskia (new)

Saskia (deckled_pages) | 310 comments Nic you are made of awesome! Yeah, you're welcome to Rosebush - and don't let me forget that I owe you something!! You sure there's nothing you want?

message 21: by Lisa (last edited Mar 31, 2011 01:21AM) (new)

Lisa  (lisao_0) Nic, I have everything in a envelope and I'm dropping it off ( or mum is) at the post office tomorrow *hopefully* I hope you like what I sent ( or sending) I included a few postcards and book teasers in there too!


message 22: by Cass (new)

Cass (casswordsonpaper) | 144 comments Well they're both ARCs so I encourage you to spread them around. ;) I'll take Tension of Opposites and Devoured then. Let me know if it's not fair (I don't think it is). So, like Lisa I'll be throwing in some extra stuff.

HEX HALL haunts me. Everyone seems to have the paperback, but it looks like magical tween Mean Girls or something.

...

I'll PM you.

Sas inbox me your address so I can post you those books. Also Cass has given me Rosebush so I will post it to you after I am done if you want :D


message 24: by Nic (new)

Nic | 40 comments @ Lisa - You are too nice :D

@ Cass - Sounds good. I just messaged you :)


message 25: by Lisa (new)

Lisa  (lisao_0) Cass, on your note about Hex Hall, I hate the paperback cover, that's why I have a hardback!


message 26: by Saskia (new)

Saskia (deckled_pages) | 310 comments Same here - the paperback is so ugly. Yay for hardcover!! :)

Will do Nic! :)

message 27: by katrina (new)

katrina | 15 comments Hi ladies I have nothing to swap but are we able to buy ? Im not sure how this all works :) thanks kat


message 28: by Cass (new)

Cass (casswordsonpaper) | 144 comments I caved and bought the paperback of Hex Hall. But it has the US cover on it, so it's a bit better. That means I'll have to wait for the paperback of Demonglass to release if I am to continue the series. But I'm so excited now. :) I wish TBD did more than 10% discounts at one time; I only saved $5 for 5 books, haha. I'll stab TBD if they send me the UK cover. :P

@Katrina: It's up to the person. Since we're on Nic's swap list (lol), you'll have to ask her.


message 29: by katrina (new)

katrina | 15 comments @thanks Cass

@Nic do you sell any books or is it only swap... I dont have any atm to swap.. I tend to keep the ones I really enjoy in case I want to re read when the series gets another ;)
thanks ladies


message 30: by Nic (new)

Nic | 40 comments Hi Kat,

Yep I don't mind selling them cheap. I sold a couple of ebay. If you are interested let me know.

I tend to update my swap list pretty regularly. I learning to let go of my books :)

I hate waiting for matching covers :(


message 32: by Kikkra Reads (new)

Kikkra Reads  (kikkrareads) I hate when they chnage the cover of a series and then nothing matches like with nightshade / wolfsbain


message 33: by katrina (new)

katrina | 15 comments :) that would be great nic ;) ebay fees work out so high at times im sure you will ge more through here ;) how much did you want for your books ;) I am in cairns and of course will pay full post ;) lol..
thanks
Yes I agree wolvebayne cover grrrrrr hoping if we order it through book depo it may come through the old cover ;) fingers crosed


message 34: by Kikkra Reads (new)

Kikkra Reads  (kikkrareads) I already preordered ... so my fingers are doubled crossed LOL!


message 35: by katrina (new)

katrina | 15 comments me to ;) fingers and toes crossed ;)


message 36: by Kikkra Reads (new)

Kikkra Reads  (kikkrareads) hehe! *arms too just in case!* hehehe

Why change it though! WHY!


message 37: by Cass (new)

Cass (casswordsonpaper) | 144 comments I don't know what the folks at Philomel were thinking. :/ Why would you change the cover halfway (eh) through a series? Paperback? Fine. But hardcover too? Sign the petition guys. I think I've heard that they're considering changing it back. ;)


message 38: by Kikkra Reads (new)

Kikkra Reads  (kikkrareads) where is it? I'll sign because im pissed off! lol


message 39: by Lisa (new)

Lisa  (lisao_0) 10% of this weekend from Bok Depo Guys! But you ahve to sue this link - I caved and pre-ordered The DUFF and The Rise of Regenade X ( paperback) :/ First books I have bought since June/July last year... wow
Here I'll link you since you have to use this link apparently - http://oneadayya.blogspot.com/2011/04...

As for Wolfsbane covers, they are having a major debate over bringing back the old cover, so fingers crossed it'll be okay! Besides since we follow UK covers, we're not going to get the horrible black ones anyway - i think.


message 40: by Kikkra Reads (new)

Kikkra Reads  (kikkrareads) I hope so! MAN how I hope so!

I'm debating weather not to buy/preorder three books on BD... it will come to $20 with the sale... well $17 something.. i just round up... but Im also trying to be GOOD lol HELP ME DECIDED!? lol


message 41: by Lisa (new)

Lisa  (lisao_0) Do it, the 10% thingie comes out like every 2 months and by then the prices would have gone up :/ what books are you pre-ordering? I debating about Falling for Hamlet by Michelle Ray

One of my book buddies is willing to trade her ARC with me but if I pay the same to buy a copy as to ship a book over I think I can make the wait ....


message 42: by Cass (new)

Cass (casswordsonpaper) | 144 comments http://twitition.com/o2xln

Created just three weeks ago, and has already got 130 signatures.

Btw, here's "news" about the covers:

“Hey, everyone. Editor Jill here. Andrea was nice enough to let me jump onto her blog to thank you all for your enthusiasm and feedback on the Wolfsbane jacket design. You’ve given us a lot to think about, and we’ll be having many Wolfsbane--related meetings here at Penguin headquarters in the coming weeks.”

And I feel bad about doing this on Nic's thread. :/ No more unless you want to swap with her haha.


message 43: by Kikkra Reads (new)

Kikkra Reads  (kikkrareads) lets move this into general convos shall we :P


message 44: by Lisa (new)

Lisa  (lisao_0) Sorry Nic!


message 45: by Nic (new)

Nic | 40 comments LOL. That is okay :) I am pretty upset about the Wolfsbane cover too. I got Nightshade in hardback from overseas so I really want matching covers.
