I'm going to feature the 11 titles I found in my inbox in this Friday Fun post. You might be wondering why I think that's fun. Well, one, I'm strange and finding organizing stuff to be fun. I get excited when I can find everything a place and put everything in its place. Now, I like organization, however, it doesn't get done often. Kind of like this monthly gathering of ebooks from my inbox. Two, when I worked my summer in college at the local library I enjoyed shelving returned books. I got to discover new books or see different covers of books I'd read. When I transfer the ebooks to my Nook, it is often the first time I've seen the book's cover - The Burning Star cover really caught my eye in this bunch. And third, I'm on vacation next week so while I might not be packing a suitcase, I am packing my Nook for the holiday.
Note to authors - Please put a colored cover image in your ebook. It makes this rather dull task of transferring files a bit more like opening a present.
So here are the books newly transferred to my Nook:
As you can see from this list, I can't accept any more new review requests until at least August or maybe September. I now have 15 ebooks I need to read (plus all my print copies) for review.
I think if you click on the book cover, it will take you to the Goodreads page as all images came from Goodreads.com. If you wish to purchase one of these books, follow these links to your favorite bookstore:

I am an organizer too! I just tackled a box of books that I've been receiving for review and from winnings. I love my office now because that one project just cleaned the "air" up in there. I matched all of my books with my spreadsheet and numbered them to coordinate and shelved them accordingly. I feel like I can conquer the world now. The floor is clean. The box looks nice and I know exactly where to put my hands on the books. I love your tidbits! Thanks for sharing. Donna
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite that organized. Physical books for review stay under the coffee table until read. It's a good reminder for me to get off the computer and read when they are staring at me. I started a Google spreadsheet for my ebooks. Hopefully when I get a new one I will enter the title and who sent it, then mark it when it's downloaded to my computer, and then another column to mark it's been transferred to my Nook.
DeleteHappy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm hoping to get quite a bit done while on vacation so we'll see what I actually accomplish.
DeleteTweedle Dee & I keep a record of review copies in a spreadsheet and work through them chronologically.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to keep track of everything.
Hope you have a great vacation and you are blessed with some great books :)
I tend to read my review copies based on what my mood is. If I said I'll have a review by a certain date then I'll read it in time, but otherwise I found matching mood to book lends itself to better reviews. Since I like variety in my reading there is nothing worse than growing bored with a genre and having to review a book in that same genre.
DeleteI was doing the spreadsheet thing for a while too but fell off the wagon. I really need to develop a system of organization for review copies again!
ReplyDeleteI can see how this would be even harder with eBooks as they aren't sitting there staring you in the face all the time.
Do you have a smartphone? I love the Goodreads app where I can scan the barcose on physical books and automatically add it to my TBR shelf. Wish there was something like that for my ebooks. I wonder if a barcode could be added the file that I could scan from my computer.
