August batch: what did you win?

August notifications are coming soon - what's headed your way?

If Kennedy Lived by Jeff Greenfield.

I couldn't believe it when I got the e-mail a few minutes ago. I'm still patiently waiting for the book I won in July, I thought getting books in back-to-back months highly improbably but still happy that it happened.

I'm getting Hollow Bones by C J Lyons. I haven't read her before so I'm really looking forward to it!

Wow, I can't believe I got an email!!! Resilient by Patricia Vanasse is heading my way and I am SOOOOOO excited! :)

Looks like I'm getting Kinslayer! I can't believe I won, so excited! Want to read this one so badly :)

I'm also thrilled to have won If Kennedy Lived by Jeff Greenfield, a political alternate history.

I read his Kindle single, a political alternate history about what might've happened if Gore had beaten Bush in 2000. Also read his trio of political alternate history novellas, dealing with the 1960s time period.

>6 lindapanzo: - Aren't they fun? I've really enjoyed those, too.

Although I will miss Eric Conger's most excellent narration, I'm pleased to be getting Storm Front by John Sandford which is the latest Virgil Flowers thriller. Cool.

So EXCITED to have won a copy of The Last Dark, the final book in the Thomas Covenant series!

I'm getting One Great Year! It's my first review and I am so excited! The synopsis made it sound amazing

Won Drama High and am looking forward to reading it, but the one I REALLY wanted was Wonder of Wonders. I'd love to do a trade with someone who got that one (after we've done our reviews, of course :)

I originally requested two, but I decided to put all my eggs in one basket and narrowed my selection to just Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson by Jeff Guinn. And I got it! Can't wait to get my hands on this one, although it's going to take me some time to read it. Manson did so much incomprehensible evil that he is hard to read about, but I want to know more about him anyway.

Thanks!!

I am lucky enough to have won Summer's End by Lisa Morton.

I am getting My mother's secret : a novel based on a true holocaust story by J. L. Witterick looking forward to it!

The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel by Colleen Gleason

OOO I wanted that one really badly!

Thank you Jeremy; will miss you. And big thanks to the publishers and especially LibraryThing. Love this site!! I am faithful and supportive to you as you folks seem to be to me! This month I am lucky again to be receiving a new book!!! This one is Life Among Giants. Can't wait to get the book in the mail!

I won My Name is Dee by Robin Wyatt Dunn.

I'm getting The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel by Colleen Gleason and really looking forward to it :)

I am getting of Midnight Lies by Ella Grace. This is my second win. I'm stunned. I also got Jim Henson a Biography in July.

I am getting Andrew's Brain: A Novel by E.L. Doctorow.

I am getting Contaminated by Em Garner and can't wait to read it. :)

I won Everything I Needed to Know I Learned From My Six-Month-Old: Awakening to Unconditional Self-Love in Motherhood by Kuwana Haulsey. Fun!

I am getting Hear No Evil by Terry Persun, it sounds interesting and it's science fiction so I am excited to read it!

I won Mortal Bonds by Michael Sears! I am so excited about this.

I snagged Andrew's Brain by E. L. Doctorow, one the "living legend" authors writing contemporary fiction. Thanks so much to both LT and the publisher--I really appreciate this program!

I am getting Red Rising. I am SO excited!

Another baseball book: You gotta have heart : a history of Washington baseball from 1859 to the 2012 National league East champions

I'm getting Wonder of Wonders: A Cultural History of Fiddler on the Roof by Alisa Solomon.

I was selected to receive an Early Reviewers copy of It Happens in the Dark by Carol O'Connell from the August 2013 batch. So excited! I love the Mallory series!

Drone by Michael Maden

Yay! won The Clockwork Scarab!

I'm thrilled I will be getting The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel by Colleen Gleason!! Wonderful news -- thank you!

I am getting Andrew's Brain: A Novel by E.L. Doctorow. I can't believe I won it. Can't wait to get it.

I won and already got Resilient by Patricia Vanasse already in my email. Excited!

There were six books I wanted this month and Yay! I'm getting Alzheimer's Early Stages: First Steps for Family, Friends and Caregivers by Daniel Kuhn.

The latest Sara Paretsky!

Great! I was chosen to receive Wonder of Wonders: A Cultural History of Fiddler on the Roof by Alisa Solomon. I love the movie and music, so I anticipate I will also enjoy this!

I'm so excited that I won a copy of Red Rising and can't wait to read it!

I won you gotta have heart : A history of Washington Baseball from 1859 to 2012

However I am still waiting for my March, June and July wins to show up.

I'm not particularly surprised to be getting Eknath Easwaran's Essence of the Dhammapada: The Buddha's Call to Nirvana, since I ended up getting his book on the Bhagavad Gita back in the Jan'12 batch!

 

I got Einstein's Bridge by John Cramer and its my first book. Will it really take 8 weeks to get here if its an ebook?

I am chuffed! I got Summer's End by Lisa Morton and Unfaithful Mind by Marion Gibson.

Some Nerve: Lessons Learned While Becoming Brave. I'm looking forward to it.

I won Paperboy by Tony Macaulay! The Troubles in Northern Ireland ae something I'm really interested in, so this novel about a kid growing up in the midst of it should be really interesting. Thanks, LT, the publisher, and Jeremy!

You're leaving Jeremy? It just won't be the same without those cheery e-mails from you to notify me of a win, or those taunting ones to tell me what I didn't manage to snag. I know that LT and the ER program will continue, but we'll miss you.

I won Hollow Bones (Special Agent Caitlyn Tierney) Love a good mystery! :) Ditto 46 Bookwoman247.. will miss the messages from you as well Jeremy! (nicely put lol- "taunting" Ha!)

I've received Summer's End and Glitter and Mayhem.

I am getting On the Road to Mr. Mineo's by Barbara O'Connor. This is my first one, and I am very excited!

I got Single Witch's Survival Guide, which I wanted so much that I forgot I'd requested it and bought a copy last week. So, it's read and reviewed already. :-)

Eep! I won Donaldson's The Last Dark but now I'm in a predicament: I've read the first two trilogies, plus the first book of the final quadrilogy, but not the two books between that one and this one (though I own them.) I've long been planning a full-series reread, but maybe I should just do the Last Chronicles for the moment?

I am also getting The Clockwork Scarab. Can't wait to get it!

Happy to see I'll be getting I Can Transform You by Maurice Broaddus. Looking forward to it.

Hear No Evil by Terry Person. This is my first round as an Early Reviewer but I love small press Sci Fi so I'm looking foraward to it!

I'm getting A Death in the Small Hours - and looking forward to it- I've enjoyed earlier books in the series. Since I cleared most of my backlog of unreviewed books, I'm getting books more regularly - Thanks LT for running this program.

I'm thrilled to be getting a copy of The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel by Colleen Gleason.

I'll be reading Tyrannia and Other Renditions by Alan DeNiro. Looks good.

Jeremy's leaving?? I didn't realize that, and I am so sorry to see him go. I *love* Jeremy, in a strictly platonic, LibraryThing, never-met-him kind of way.

Jeremy, I wish you well with whatever you choose to do next. Thank you for all your hard work, for your promptness responding to all our questions, and your kindness and patience when you repeatedly answered the same question yet again.

Best of luck!

I will be getting Cries of the Lost by Chris Knopf looking forward to it:)

I'm thrilled to be getting Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink, an investigative study of the events that took place at Memorial Medical Center after it lost power and was isolated due to severe flooding after Hurricaine Katrina struck New Orleans. I would have bought this book even if I hadn't won it, as I lived in NOLA for several years, a few blocks away from Memorial, and two of my cousins worked there in the 1970s, when it was known as Southern Baptist Hospital. Thank you!

I won The Road From Gap Creek! I read Gap Creek years ago, so this is perfect.

Will get a head start on holiday tales with Debbie Macomber's Starry Night. Thanks!

I'm getting Angel Fever by L. A. Weatherly. Looking forward to reading it!

Keeping it Civil: A Family Lawyer's Files on Love, Money & Power by Margaret Klaw. It sounds interesting!

@44 how did you snag TWO books?

@18 what do you mean by "will miss you" to Jeremy??

I'm psyched that I won Simon's Cat vs the World!! I love the Simon's Cat videos and have one of the other books downloaded on my Kindle. I'm really looking forward to this one :-)

I am receiving Starry Night: A Christmas Novel by Debbie Macomber

I won Red Rising and I'm SO BEYOND EXCITED

I got Summer's End by Lisa Morton annd Twistor by John Cramer. Yay!

65 - I must have just been really lucky!

I only requested one book The Last Dark, and got it. Like salt back up in #51, I've got a little catching up to do first. Luckily for me it's just the last book, not the previous two.

I am getting Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson by Jeff Guinn. Look forward to reading this.

My copy of My Name is Dee arrived this morning -

And I added my 'review' of the first 70 pages four days later.

(Why don't I ever win any of the good stuff?)

>73 kykim:, KimberlyGScott -- I saw Jeff Guinn on C-span book TV talking about this and it really sounds fascinating. I wished, after listening to him, that I had requested it. Look forward to your review.

I received Andrew's Brain by E.L. Doctorow

> 65 Kaulsu:
You were wondering how other LTer's won multiple books from Early Reviewers, and I just stumbled upon a possible answer! On the Early Reviewers FAQ page see the “Sign Up” link below “How can I get books from Early Reviewers?.” Click on that link.
On the new webpage, you’ll see your shipping information for Early Reviewers. Scroll down to the area notated as “Preferences.” There you’ll find an open box next to “I don't mind winning two books from the same batch.” Click on box to check it, then click on the “Submit” live link at the bottom, to update your account.

FYI also: > 44, 71 Misses London

Another thing I noted from your comment was the use of live links for quick referencing to group comments. I followed the links and they don’t take the LTer to the comment in question. Instead, one is taken to LTer Profiles, for user names “44” and “18”! Try instead to click on the "Reply" button in the comment you'd like to reply to.

Hope this helps!

I forgot to say "THANKS, LT!," as I won Midnight Lies by Ella Grace. It has been received and I'm half-way through the book!

>77 Conkie: Conkie
Thanks!! I do remember, now that you mention it, that there is a way of saying you can take more than one book a month...but I also remember why I didn't choose it. I always have such a backlog of books to read, and feel obligated to drop everything to read the LT selections, that I thought I'd just be shooting myself in the foot.

But when it comes to the "live links" I have no idea what you mean. Yes, techno wizard is not on my resume.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to finding out if I get anything for September!!

Happy reading,

Kaulsu (Sue)

I won a copy of The Paperboy (by Tony Macaulay); but as of 10/18/2013 have not received a copy. I'm still holding out hope that I will get my copy before 10/26/2013.
