Michelle Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The US publishers seem to be embracing the idea, but not those in the UK.. the selection hasn't been that good the past few months. I'm passing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The only book I wanted was for America. Oh well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm passing too, there was maybe 2 books from the selection I fancied and they were both American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carm Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Librarything is a nice site but sometimes I have trouble accessing it...I just can't connect to it for some reason...I really like the opportunity to get free books through the Early Reviewers group- I've gotten three already and was told today to expect a fourth- all that said it seems a cold site in that there isn't the sense of warmth and friendship that their is on book club forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopyloo100 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What did you get looloo? Protect and Defend by Vince Flynn - I only requested that one and so was pleased to get it. Which did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carm Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have no idea how I got them- when I request them there's tons of people ahead of me and I figure my chances are small -I did write one review but I dont know if that has anything to do with getting another book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyanddandy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's called Dedication by Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopyloo100 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You were lucky that's book was requested over 900 times - I almost thought about giving that one ago, but thought I had more chance with the thriller as I have quite a few thrillers on Librarything.

princessponti Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 ...I've been spending some time on Librarything lately and have just dicovered my homepage (don't laugh if you all new it was there!) - I normally just go to my profile page and work from there, but the home page is really interesting. There's a section called 'hot reviews' that puts up for everbody the most popular reviews. I was thinking that we could 'thumbs up' each others reviews - because then we stand a chance of making wider connections. Just a thought x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
