I just started a book blog where you can read my reviews plus some other things on at: http://cookiesbooksbikes.blogspot.com/

When I'm not reading or writing reviews, I camp, hike, ski, bike, playing boardgames and baking. I'm also a student working on a degree in geology.

    Basically, most book covers come from Amazon's database. If that is where the image comes from there is nothing anyone at Shelfari can do to remove it. If it is not a legitimate published cover, then you can go to the book's page on Amazon and request they remove it. Once a cover is changed on Amazon it will also change on Shelfari (after a little lag time for everything to sync up). There is a lot of erotica listed on Shelfari with images that could be offensive, but they are the legitimate cover of the published books. At this time I don't think anything can be done about these books. Recently someone complained about a suggestive cover on the list of Alice in Wonderland books, especially since it is a children's book. When the librarian asked about it we were told if it is a legitimate cover there is nothing that can be done. If a cover is added by a user and it is not really the cover of the book, it can be removed by librarians (you can report an inappropriate cover on the editions tab when you select to view covers). I suggest that you send a message to feedback@shelfari.com. I know that it has been suggested by some users that Shelfari develop some filter that would hide erotic images, but I don't know if it is being considered by Shelfari or not. Amanda would be able to give you more information and let you know the exact policy for images on erotica. She may still be on vacation, so it could take a little while to get a response.

    Sorry about the bolding there - thought I'd shut it off (but there's a typo) and there's no edit ability!

    I just finished reading The Bells and I loved it! Thanks so much for choosing that title for our swap, I'm so lucky that I got it. I hadn't heard of it before and I think it's a real sleeper - it needs more exposure. On the cover a reviewer compares it to Perfume]/b] and I think that's right on the money. I thought Perfume was terrific too. Thanks again. I've got to post my review sometime today on PBT as soon as I can wrap my mind around it.

    Here are a couple of YA books that I would very highly recommend for your 14 - 16 yr old girls -
    "Mad Love" and "Coffeehouse Angel" both are by Suzanne Selfors and both are excellent!!! I gave them both 5 Stars!
    Good fun books that definitely keep your attention!

    Also if they are into a little paranormal... I would suggest the Hex Hall series (only 2 books are out right now, eagerly awaiting the third!)
    Again both "Hex Hall" and "Demonglass" by Rachel Hawkins are good pretty clean fun!!! Loved them both!

    Oh, good. I tried to scroll down on people's pages to see if one had been left, but of course, some people have enough notes that it may have gone to a 2nd page, and I'm sure plenty of people also already deleted theirs, too. I was trying to make sure everything was caught up for Sara. :-)

    Hi WonderBunny. I don't know if you ever got a welcome note to Author Author or not, but here it is now! Sorry for the really late note, but I'm from the Author Author group and wanted to welcome you to our group. June’s featured author is C.S. Lewis, and we have two alternate authors, Nancy Mitford and Diana Gabaldon. If you're interested, you can choose a book written by any (or all!) of these three authors, and after you've read it, please come post a review and star rating so the rest of us in the group know what you read and whether you liked it or not. Happy Reading!

    It just arrived yesterday. When I went on-line to let you know (last night), Shelfari was "off reading a good book" again! I was hoping it wouldn't last as long as the last time :-) Thanks so much, this looks really good. I have a pile of about 5 books to get through from the library but this will come right after that for sure. I'll try to remember to let you know what I think - of course I'll post it on PBT anyway!

    I am on Facebook and that goes to my E-mail which goes to my phone. You get the idea. I basically still get messages there.

    Ok ... no Amber Benson book but a PR book coming your way.

    Uhm ... I'm able to get on Shelfari again (sans E-mail still though).

    Hey ... I just want to warn you that I'm no longer able to receive personal messages. My account, somehow, is now messed up. I've given up on finding that book. I'll just send you the bookmarks. Are you interested in paranormal romance at all? I'm not and I accidentally ended up with an anthology of paranormal romance stories. BTW: I'm also no longer always able to get on Shelfari easily without some major reroutings so bear with me.

    Oh well, I'll just send you the bookmarks for now.

    Thanks, I'm looking forward to it! It's funny, you never know what's going to be hot in these swaps. In a different swap I offered Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and I expected that it might bet swapped around a bit. I have to admit that lots of people have read it but I expected more action. I think it got swapped once. At least the person who got it was happy!

    BTW, we had quite a conversation about paranormals last year and with magical realism as the tag this month, I'm going to start the first Jim Butcher book today. I also want to read Butler's Kindred and, if there's time and it's tagged MR (that might be a stretch I'm going to go check out the The Tomb by Wilson. You had given me a good list back then.

    I'll be watching for the book and I'll let you know when it arrives.

    Lol - - sounds good! Thank you, Wonderbunny :) for your generosity.

    Totally understand - - I'm sorry it didn't end up well on the book end. We can say you've decided to donate Ford Country to PBT and forgo your book selection so that others will have more choice. That way it sounds positive - - and hey, these books can be used for other prizes or something at a later date . . .

    Are you sure you don't want to take anything to trade on paperbackswap?? - - I'm sure Glass Castles would go on there. Please let me know your thoughts, and then I will post something . . .I'm sure the other players will be happy as it is more choice for them . . .

    Hi Wonderbunny! Please report over to Second Chances when you have the time. It is your turn. You can keep Ford Country if you want, or you may swap it as indicated on the thread . . .

    I'd like to send you the bookmarks and the second of Amber's books (since I ended up with two copies). Would you please send the address again? I can no longer receive E-mail from Shelfari so don't send me a Private Message. Please E-mail me directly at racethom@comcast.net
