JudyB Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 The Blackest Bird (A Novel of History and Murder) by Joel Rose Quote
princessponti Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'm still waiting for my feb book too, and didn't get my March one *sobs* - really quite fancied the March one! Quote
Echo Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I just recently signed up for Early Reviewers (what took me so long??) and I found out I'm getting a book, and it's only my first time. The book I'm getting is bizarre: Seven Days to Sex Appeal: How to Be Sexier Without Surgery, Weight Loss, or Cleavage by Eva Margolies and Stan Jones. I requested it on a whim...how weird is my library that I actually won that?? Quote
Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Wait. What? You get free books? Why was I not told? Quote
Michelle Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Because you obviously weren't around when we started discussing it in May 2007 Quote
Kell Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Well, I got The Blackest Bird, but I've been completely unable to finish it as I got heartily bored with it almosst half-way through. Quote

Esiotrot Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've snagged another Early Reviewer book - it's called 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee' by Rebecca Miller Looks interesting Hi Missy - Just found out I got the same one. Didnt think I would get anything as I have just joined so am really chuffed! I agree it looks interesting, looking forward to receiving it. Kx Quote
JudyB Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Well, I got The Blackest Bird, but I've been completely unable to finish it as I got heartily bored with it almosst half-way through. I've found it hard going but have also been busy - I think the writing is a bit awkward. I did google a few of the names in the book and found out some background stuff which has made it more interesting for me. Quote
Esiotrot Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Maureen - it's a geeky systems thing for me about organisation and control - in fact I am a self confessed control freak and 'Librarything' fulfuls something in me!! Absolutley how I feel I am totally addicted!! Been spending every spare minute creating my library - still more to add and I need to figure out tags but LOVE this site! I used amazon for listing & rating but this is so much better. I have invited a few names I recognise to be friends so you may get a request. If not please add me - Esiotrot (spelt correctly this time LOL!) Kx Quote
The Library Nook Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Yep got your invite, will be nosy on your bookshelves later! Quote
happyanddandy Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 April Early Reviewers selection available - not a lot of choice for us in Blighty this time. Quote
Nici Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks HandD! I have requested: Bring Emily - Anne Donovan Jasmine's Tortoise - Corinne Sauza Sugar Coated - Catherine Forde My Miserable Lonely Lesbian Pregnancy - Andrea Askowitz Quote
Heather Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I.ve just joined ER aaaand lookin g forward to seeing what books they have got for us to request. Must bring my LT up to date I think t6here are some book to be added and I must do reviews for the ones I have read. Quote
happyanddandy Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I've just requested Being Emily. I did too Judy plus the lesbian one. Have a look at 'TheBookImp' profile - she has a great layout Quote
JudyB Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Just had a look HandD - and like you I would like to know how she did it. I have added the visitor map though. Quote
Kylie Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I added the visitor map and then took it off again because no one ever visited and I felt silly TheBookImp posted in someone else's comments a couple of links to FYI groups on LibraryThing (FYI, GreyHead's FAQ). Maybe if you join you can find out how to post pics. I know I'm certainly going to do it! Thanks for bringing it to our attention H&D. I'm even more interested in her Wiki page. I want those bars to keep track of my challenges! Quote
happyanddandy Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Off to have a look ar heer Wiki page! I added the map! Quote
Michelle Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I think TheBookImp simply uses some html. If anyone wants to do anything specific, let me know, and I'll see if I can help. ETA: I've played a little with my own profile: see here Quote
happyanddandy Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I like that Michelle. I would like to do that - is it easy? If you click on the local tab and click on the star by your favourite bookshops and libraries, they show up on your profile too Quote
Michelle Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Yep, pretty easy. ~ to underline, simply put <u>title</u> ~ to make something bold, use <b>text</b> ~ to make something italic, <i>text</i> To link to an image, you need.. <img src="http://{url of image}" border="0" alt="" /> If you get stuck, tell me exactly what you want to do/write, and I'll try to sort it out. Quote
Michelle Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I've also added a new field to the profiles on here, so members can add their LT names. At the moment, it shows up under your username (along with Location etc), but if people would rather it not be there, let me know, and I can change it. (I'll go with the majority on that one.) Quote
