Yes, they do. Provided they meet the other criteria (owned by you pre-2012 and they're teetering on Mt. TBR)."
i transferred books from my Sony to my Nook & updated my iTunes audiobooks to my iPod...so now i have Dracula & Frankenstein on it...was thinking of getting the Harry Potter audio books...but pricey right now...maybe later...

how did they work? i was wondering the same thing...???

i have some books on my summer list but wondering what is the average amount of books people put on their summer reading list/by the beach list of books? wondering if my number is realistic...

is anyone getting there summer reading list together? what books are on it? and how many books are you limiting yourself to the list?

anyone out there going to join Oprah's 2.0 reading group?

yep that is 3 off the list but i felt that towards the last of the third book was hurried...?...maybe because i wanted to finish & i do not like to read the last chapter to see what the ending is like...besides i love my color Nook so i don't do it...my reading is slowing down a bit because i work full time & go to bed by 8 and up by 4:30AM...so my reading is mostly happening on the weekends...When i have nothing to do besides the wash & outside maintenance...LOL...

Well I finished The Hunger Games series last night

well i finished the hunger games series...i hope to see movie 2 & 3! would like to see the special effects in both! :) so now onto another series...hmmmmmm

www.ameliapeabody.com i think is the website; but you can Google it and they should also have it...the maps use Adobe reader....

i want to finish The Hunger Games books first before i start another book...

I downloaded a sample of her first book in the series onto my Color Nook...love my Nook...fits right into my purse and not bulky as a paperback...and when you have WiFi- oh wow the whole library! are you going to get all of the books in the series? do you know she has a website with a lot of information - even maps! :)

Has anyone read Elizabeth Peters books: The Emelia Peabody series? so far i hear there are 18 books in that series... i love serial books... :)

Regarding The Hunger Games: i heard that they have found a director to do the second book in the series...but have not heard when it will come to the silver screen - anyone know? i hope they will do book three then too! it would be disappointing if they only do two books out of the three!!! :(

I figured that if I could make it through week one - it should be down hill from there! week 2 starts next week! time to rest up & read to my heart's content this weekend - bring it on! yeah baby! :)

Well I made another dent in my reading...another day another dent...it all adds up! :)
