Waiting List - March Edition

February has been long, cold, and it dumped an historically high pile of snow that's somehow managing to maintain an icy grip on the surrounding landscape. All I can say is that I'm glad that we're out of the worst of it and I'm looking forward to March's promise of slightly warmer temps as spring starts to eek out a hold on this little corner of New England. 

Besides killing my motivation, February's casualties also included two titles that were slated for review this month: 'Domestic Violets' by Matthew Norman & 'The Witch's Daughter' by Paula Brackston. In past months there's usually a reason for this type of oversight, but this time it comes down to just not having enough time over the weekends (thank you Nemo for the 3 day power outage) to get the reviews written. Simple as that. In other words, expect these two title reviews posted up sometime in the following week... assuming another natural disaster doesn't whip through unexpectedly and rip out some more of my town's already deteriorated infrastructure.  

Two more pieces of news and then onto the regularly scheduled March reading list. The first is a warm welcome to all the new subscribers! And to all the regulars, I'm honored and excited that you've stuck with me. Your patience will soon be rewarded. We have some big things happening in the next few months here on T.T.P. that I can't really talk about in detail yet. So to all the lurkers, if you haven't subscribed yet I promise that you don't want to miss out on some of the stuff coming down the pipe. Remember, you can always subscribe by email here, or by using any of the links in the right-hand sidebar.

The second piece is remember to vote in this months poll. I'm always looking for ways to improve and what's good for me might not be the best for you - so tell me this: Do you want T.T.P to post the official book summaries before the reviews or not? We're currently at a tie and voting ends in about a week so you know what to do.

Now, for the best part. The books planned for March have me really excited:

• Marissa Meyer's next book 'Scarlet' in the Lunar Chronicles.  
• 'Beautiful Creatures' co-authored by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
• 'A Friend of the Family' by Lauren Grodstein
• 'The Wild Ones' by M. Leighton

Last, but certainly not least, this month's Bridal Title segment will be a review of 'A Practical Wedding: Creative Ideas for Planning a Beautiful, Affordable and Meaningful Celebration' by Meg Keene. It was recommended to me by a few people that I've spoken with, so I'm sure I've already got unrealistically high expectations.

Borrow One of My Books!

A few days ago I was cleaning up my Kindle archive and realized that the following list of titles are 'loan enabled'. 

• "Perpetual Light" by Jordan K. Rose
• "Seed" by Ania Ahlborn
• "The Hangman's Daughter" by Oliver Pötzsch
• "Madly" (Novella - Madly Series #1) by M. Leighton
• "Callum & Harper"(Sleepless Series #1) by Fisher Amelie
• "Blood of Anteros" (Vampire Agápe Series #1)" by Georgia Cates
• "Sacrifice" (The Chosen #3) by Denise Grove Swank 
• "The Hunger Games"(The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins
• "Catching Fire" (The Hunger Games #2) by Suzanne Collins
• "Mockingjay" (The Hunger Games #3) by Suzanne Collins 
• "Mercury Falls" by Robert Kroese
• "Mercury Rises" by Robert Kroese
• "Mercury Swings" by Robert Kroese
• "The Black Blade" (A Gull Village Story) by Sean Huxter 

 And so, with all these titles to loan and no one to loan them to I had a stroke of brilliance (if I do say so myself): Loan them to readers here at To The Point - and that, in a word, is You.

So how to get your hands on a title? Well, I'd open it up as a free for all but Amazon, in combination with all those pesky publishers, have mandated from powers on high that I can only loan it out once and for only 14 days at that.  So in order to keep it fair-as-fair-can-be we'll be playing by the following couple of rules:

Rule #1: Before requesting a title you've got to be a subscriber of To The Point. If you aren't already, go ahead and use one of the methods to the right.

Rule #2: Leave a comment or drop me a line letting me know what title you're interested in borrowing.

Now here's the tricky part: With only 14 titles to loan, I can only guarantee the first 14 people a title, but the more popular titles might have more than request, that and there's always the chance that more people request than I've got books for so here's what I'm willing to give you even if it isn't one of the title above.

If the title you pick is already spoken for (first come/first serve, scouts honor) then your subscription gets you double entry in my next free book giveaway planned for next month and extra consideration when I loan my next title.
