The Books With Looks 📚 discussion

Girl from a lower cast gets picked to be one of the 35 girls selected for the prince to choose his wife. She smart talented down to earth and sassy and not interested in this prince or this procedure. It's grittier then the front cover suggested and I really enjoyed their relationship or whatever it is :)

Yesterday I started The Day of the Locust Interesting so far, it's the 8th book for my book cover challenge.

Starting mockingjay, last of the hunger games books.

And Carrie for my 2015 reading challenge

Carrie is on the Rory Gilmore challenge as well so you can tick it off twice ;)

I suspected that Tinka when I was writing the message but forgot to check. woohoo

Loved this book Ashleigh enjoy!

I enjoyed it too, still have the last book to read though.

I've not read somebody here did say it was better, might have been Michaela

It was definitely not me :D
I stay away from those books, after a friend read me a few passages... at least the german version is badly written :D

ah maybe I was remembering your hatred. haha

That's possible, my hatred is worth remembering :D

I haven't tried it in english yet, maybe it's just a bad translation. But it was really bad :D

I'm currently reading by Amanda Hocking

Nice, I haven't won in ages.

Is Australian post really bad? Friend purchased a collection of books from an Australian and still waiting on them, posted 55 days ago.

Books from Australia to England. Struth that will me expensive. Maybe it's coming by sea?

I think it cost £25 (Aus$3million) for shipping

It's cheaper to buy books from England, no kiddin I do it all the time. :)

He has ordered some rare hardbacks, £300 over here, £50 in Australia.

I'm reading Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy as research for my next novel. EMDR Therapy has changed the way PTSD is treated and I want to know more about the process and outcomes. So far, this book TOTALLY has my attention. I may get more than research out of it!

My boss had salmonella poisoning, it affected a couple of the discs on his spin, suffered with servers bad back for months before they figured it out and treated him. For a few years after he has had bad memory, can't sleep and random fears. Eventually a Dr figured out he is suffering from PTSD, he is eventually starting to get over it, it is really a strange thing as he is now coming to terms that a lot of stuff that he thought was happening to him was not real, he realises now that at one point he thought Drs were trying to kill him I think. I'm not sure what treatment he is having but I'll point out this book to him.

It's a very interesting and well-regarded book Jason. I'd highly recommend it. Hope it provides insight and treatment options for your boss.

Ashleigh, you should let Goodreads know you haven't received the book you won. Goodreads makes authors promise their firstborn to be certain the books are sent to the winners, so if it was truly lost in the mail, the author will probably send you another one. I would.

My friend has had a card from the post office telling him he has a large parcel, looks like it might be his books from Australia, I knew it would help if I complained to an Australian. hehe
