I'm getting labor day by joyce maynard.

Jul 1, 2009, 1:44pm

I'm getting Life of Pi.
I have a question, when I click on books I've won, the Life of Pi appears twice. Is this normal?

I'm getting Aracoeli by Elsa Morante, which was the perfect fit for me as I'm very interesting in this author and haven't read anything by her before.

Kate999 - I don't follow what you clicked. Can you explain further?

Edited: Jul 1, 2009, 1:54pm

Kate999 - I experienced that too. Think it's just a bug in the new feature.

dchaiken - Kate's talking about the feature being discussed on this thread: http://www.librarything.com/topic/68003

Nothing for me this month. Oh well, here's hoping for July!
Congrats to all who snagged a book.

I was surprised, I'm getting Sworn to Silence, I think (and hope) it will be an interesting read.

12DonnerLibrary
Jul 1, 2009, 2:11pm

Nothing for me this month but I'm okay with that. There weren't any that I was super interested in and I have plenty of reading to keep me busy for a while.

13l-mo
Jul 1, 2009, 2:12pm

I'm also getting Sworn to Silence. I'm quite surprised and slightly thrilled to have won one my third month of trying.

14NWADEL
Jul 1, 2009, 2:15pm

I'm also getting sworn to silence !! I can't wait, looks like an awesome read!

15crazy4reading
Jul 1, 2009, 2:19pm

I didn't win anything this month. Oh well will keep trying.

#11, 13 & 14> I read Sworn to Silence and I loved the book. I wrote my review and posted it here at LT, amazon, my blog, and a few different sites. I was lucky enough to get the book from some one on here who had read it but didn't want to keep it. I know I will be looking for more books by Linda Castillo. Happy reading you guys!!!

Will be receiving The Carousel Painter by Judith Miller. Looks like a fun read:)

17insolent_redhead
Jul 1, 2009, 2:37pm

I'm getting Fear the Worst by Linwood Barclay. Sounds pretty interesting.

19nawatramani
Jul 1, 2009, 2:47pm

Primitive by Mark Nykanen.

A new author for me, always an interesting exercise!

The Carousel Painter by Judith Miller

My first win and just in time for my birthday too!

21Dogberryjr
Jul 1, 2009, 2:54pm

Not getting a darned thing. I only liked a couple, so I guess that's cool. I just wonder if the pool of requesters is getting so large that it's going to be really tough to get an ARC. Seems like it, as about 2000 lined up for 15 copies of a collection of Tolstoy short stories.

22craso
Jul 1, 2009, 2:59pm

Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey. This is the first book I have won on ER. Yeah!

23Jenson_AKA_DL
Jul 1, 2009, 3:07pm

Nothing once again :( It was rather depressing. I logged in to find three "sorry you didn't get" Member Giveaway notices along with the ER one.

24lisally
Jul 1, 2009, 3:08pm

None for me again either...

I just have bad luck with ER, going on a year with no books!

25writemeg
Jul 1, 2009, 3:11pm

I'm getting Alyson Noël's Evermore -- the one I really wanted! Hooray!

26tardis
Edited: Jul 1, 2009, 3:26pm

I'm getting $20 Per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise in the Price of Gasoline Will Change Our Lives for the Better which I really requested for my husband who likes that sort of book (and I probably got it because of his books that I've catalogued), but I'll read and review it myself as well. Should be interesting. I don't read much non-fiction, aside from gardening books, of which there are never enough in the ER program.

Thanks again to LT for this great program!

Nothing for 6 months, for me. Maybe next month!

29LadyViolet
Jul 1, 2009, 4:04pm

nothing again for me although i did only request one book (out of the 4 i *could* request). didn't get the member giveaway i requested either. dang maybe next time there'll be a better selection for the brits to choose from.

30SmangosBubbles
Jul 1, 2009, 4:14pm

As far as I can tell: nothing! (Five months! But that is okay because I have at least a hundred TBRs.)

31jrquilter
Jul 1, 2009, 4:52pm

I am very pleased to be getting the debut novel, The Calligrapher's Daughter.

32lindapanzo
Jul 1, 2009, 5:25pm

I am getting 206 Bones, the new mystery by Kathy Reichs.

It was the only book I asked for this month so I was really surprised (and pleased) to get it.

33Shortride
Edited: Jul 1, 2009, 5:30pm

Got a copy of Glover's Mistake. Been over a year since I won a book, so it's nice to get one.

34BaileysAndBooks
Jul 1, 2009, 5:29pm

So while I didn't get anything from ER - I did just get a member giveaway for Baking Cakes in Kigali!

35ncgraham
Jul 1, 2009, 5:36pm

I never thought I'd get an ARC, but I just received confirmation that I'll be receiving The Elegance of the Hedgehog in the mail shortly. It looks very interesting.

36NeverStopTrying
Jul 1, 2009, 5:42pm

This is my first ARC and I am excited that The Algorythm finally sees me. I got Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim.

37sharonluvscats
Jul 1, 2009, 6:54pm

Homer's Odyssey and no I'm not surprised that I got picked to review a book about cats.

38dudes22

Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes - just got my first one in Apr so am suprised to get another one soon.

39Esta1923

I wanted, but did not get the book by Todd Shimoda. . . If you got it, enjoy.

40coppers

I'm thrilled to be getting Homer's Odyssey.

41lynndej

I am getting Undone by Karin Slaughter. I have read all of her books and can't wait to read this one!

42Jim53
Jul 1, 2009, 9:26pm

Just found out I'm getting a copy of Don't Forget to Sing in the Lifeboats. Might be very appropriate the way work has been lately.

43takemeaway9
Jul 1, 2009, 10:21pm

I didn't get a yes or a no yet... does that mean it's a no and I just haven't gotten my notice? This is just the second time I've tried to get one and the first was several months ago. I'm going to try to keep up with it from now on so hopefully I'll get one soon!

44whitewavedarling
Jul 2, 2009, 12:05am

>43 You will get a notice before too long; I haven't gotten one yet, either, but I'm sure the rest of the notes will be up by tomorrow at the latest. In my experience, a later notice Usually means it's a no, but I know there are exceptions also. Good luck :)

45sqdancer
Jul 2, 2009, 12:46am

I haven't received a notice yet either. Don't worry, you're not being ignored (or if you are, you're not alone!)

Hmm .... sqdancer, takemeaway9, whitewavedarling .... maybe the "No" notices are being sent alphabetically.

46JGoto
Jul 2, 2009, 6:27am

49fuzzy_patters

I haven't gotten anything in a year, but at least I have extra time to work on my to be read pile.

50jenni7202
Jul 2, 2009, 8:27am

Nothing for this month, although I was really hoping for Evermore. Congrats to all the winners! I guess it's a good thing I didn't get any, I have a ton of review books already lined up, and my TBR pile for books I want to read for my own personal enjoyment is towering over the 500 mark now..eeeek.

51mollishka
Jul 2, 2009, 8:27am

I didn't even get a message saying I didn't get anything :-( and I could have sworn I requested something, I usually request one or two even though I never get anything.

52karenmarie

No book for me, but I got a May book so feel fortunate.

Happy reading to all of you!

56ablachly

Sorry, the script hung up and stopped. It sent out all the yes messages, but only up to the Ls in nos. I'll send the rest of them out today.

57rastaphrog

Right out of the gate, and I just snagged The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper by Kathleen Y'Barbo. Looks like my kinda book, so I'm trying to be patient for its arrival.

79tgi1515
Jul 6, 2009, 6:28pm

Oooo, yea! I'm getting Though Waters Roar by Lynn Austin. I LOVE children's books but I'm glad to get a book for grownups this time. :-D

I am to receive Homer's Odyssey which seems appropriate considering that I just recently got 4 cats.

88NeverStopTrying
Jul 10, 2009, 11:17am

Off topic but 4 at one time? Did they know each other previously? My mind is boggling at the kitty possibilities.

To my complete surprise, I received a copy of Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes in the mail today! There wasn't a note or letter enclosed, and there were no instructions. There also isn't anything in my LibraryThing account to indicate I was selected as an early reviewer. Is that normal? (I'm planning to read and review it ASAP.)
