It sounds like you've got some great reads. I really need to check out The Iron Thorn. I've heard a lot of great things about it. Well, good luck! Hopefully, I can make it for awhile tonight and can stop back by later. This is one reason I love these readathons; I get to visit all my blogging friends! It sounds like you’ve got some great reads.

Most feel the same in that the library helped them discover new genres and authors they wouldn't have considered except through a recommendation. And even then, shelling out upwards of $35 for a hardcover of an unknown is asking a lot. As I've said, I agree that a pricing structure needs to be found that works for everyone, but this isn't the way to go about it. What really pissed me off is that they admitted that they did not have enough information to know if their pricing was right, but would be working with it as that data becomes available. I'd like to hear about the dialog prior to this decision in that was this decision being made now was because of what's happening with Overdrive and Amazon, because the libraries can't get them that circulation data in a timely manner, are they really that desperate for revenue, or is it they simply don't care.
