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¢ :lol:

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.

:o

Well, now that I look at it that way, I'm glad I wasn't homeschooled too! :lol:

Anyways, sorry, we've gotten way off the topic here! :o

What scary book have you chosen, Kathy? I'm going to read The Diary of a Haunting by M. Verano.

I haven't decided for sure yet. I'm thinking of The Shining. I've read most if king's books but not that one.
