I've actually been curious about this book for a while. If you do read it for this, I'd be interested in what you think!

Please tag me to that also, if you get it. I love Pride and Prejudice, and three different people have told me they thought of me when they saw the And Zombies version. (I think I remind them of a zombie)

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but if you get a free pdf, isn't that stealing a sale for the author and publisher? As a self-published author, I fear my books being distributed behind my back. Can you do me a favor and actually pay for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? It'll make Meg happy.

This is a great idea. I have chosen Gods of Nowhere by James Tipper. I don't know anything about this author; so it will be a new experience.

I'm sorry Zelda, you're right.

I thought about it and I would be peeved if people gave away pdfs of my book, even though it's self published at Amazon and I only get about 6 ¢ per copy sold. It's still my 6¢

That's what I'm talking about! Power to the self-published author!!

What's your book(s)? Mine is about homeschooling. I'm just as boring irl.

Thanks for asking! Go to the book of the month forum and click on Forever Twelve by Meg Kimball.

Ah, I always wanted to be homeschooled...

I am glad my parents didn't homeschool me because I know them well enough to know, if I did the stuff my kids do, they'd have killed me. Thankfully I am disabled so my kids can outrun me.
