They're a pretty traditional paperback exchange. I know they deal romance and I'm pretty sure they do category, if they're still in business.Nicola O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13947359287796827837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-18228497468047351432008-04-08T07:24:00.000-07:002008-04-08T07:24:00.000-07:00Oh fear not carolyn jean, I have a review percolat...Oh fear not carolyn jean, I have a review percolating in my mind right now.

I mean, there are so many obligations in life, and reading should be reserved as pure pleasure. So what if you have a pile of books waiting? If you want to buy or borrow a new one, I say, go for it. <BR/><BR/>Also, I would be curious about that title, and I hope you give us a little review!!!Carolyn Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195853833116263029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-42403336840338366522008-04-08T05:11:00.000-07:002008-04-08T05:11:00.000-07:00LOL - you do seem to be getting the short end of t...LOL - you do seem to be getting the short end of the stick.

Keep this up and I'll be a rich woman! ;)<BR/><BR/>sarai- You're right, the words blackmail and pregnancy should not be connected in any way. Surprisingly, the book was not as wretched as I anticipated. I should post a review of sorts soon.<BR/><BR/>jill d.- I tend to agree with you. I often feel that there is so much missing in a category romance due to the short length. I think I am going to go with your suggestion about the used book store. I was looking on web tonight to find a good one to go to. Most bookstores in the Chicago area will not buy or trade romance novels. They only stick to "high quality literature." What a boring, snobby idea. I did find one that sells/trades romance, and will let me bring in 15 books each visit for trading. They will be seeing me quite often!<BR/><BR/>and, please excuse me if this was all incoherent. sleep deprivation + working on grades + one very strong cocktail = Shannon not being particularly sharp right now...Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592907195198835800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-757880595682890112008-04-07T10:39:00.000-07:002008-04-07T10:39:00.000-07:00Well, I myself am not a big fan of the category ro...Well, I myself am not a big fan of the category romance. Suprisingly, not because of the God awful titles, but because of their short length. I like my stories with a little more meat on their bones. <BR/><BR/>As far as the books that were given to you, I say turn them in for credit at a used book store and pick up some titles you want to read. Don't feel like you have to read books you don't want to read. Life is too short. If your TBR list is as long as mine is, don't bother trying to read books you aren't interested in. When you read them it will only feel like homework.<BR/><BR/>That's my five cents, for what it's worth.Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975229308257922188.post-65761402762392652552008-04-06T20:11:00.000-07:002008-04-06T20:11:00.000-07:00Okay this is my 2 cents and only 2 cents so no one...Okay this is my 2 cents and only 2 cents so no one throw anything at me! I do not like these kind of books. Very rarely will I even give them a second glance and I have to say anything that includes blackmail and preganice (did I even spell that right) in the same title would make me put the brakes on. <BR/>Some thing just ain't right when those two words come together in a title... I think you should move on and grab another. But that is just my two cents and I honestly haven't read it.Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203551997160640352noreply@blogger.com
