Damn you, PaperbackSwap.com!

PaperbackSwap is feeding my addiction. Actually, I think it may even be amplifying it. 'Cause if I had to pay for some of these books, I'd never get them. But they are "free", but for the books that I'm pawning off on sending to some poor unsuspecting another reader.

Most recent arrivals:

Black Angel by Barbara Samuel. Added to the list after SB Candy used an older Samuel's book on the weekly guessing game.

Firestorm by Kathleen Morgan. A blogger mentioned this one. Why? I can't remember.

Mirors and Mistakes by Kathleen Gilles Seidel. Same.

And I still have Must Love Dragons and The Boyfriend School to read and pass on.

Before I was a member of PBS, I'd've written most of these titles down, but probably never would've found copies.

Tell me about the Barbara Samuel--I'm intrigued.

I haven't started it yet, but the blurb on Samuels' website and the review at AAR seem intriguing. Heroine has an affair, and afterward her brother killed her lover in a duel. Fastforward to Irish husband hiding his Catholicism and the trial of the brother. Want me to pass it along after I've finished?

This is the one from the last Smart Bitches lonely heart? Sound cool.

Yes! I think I'd like it. And I gotta get me on that PaperBackSwap, god help me. It looks wonderful, especially if you get obscure books like this on it.

It isn't that one (Lucien's Fall), but one written at about the same time. I went to PBS to get a copy of LF, but there were none, so I checked out the rest of Samuels' backlist. This one seemed the most interesting.

You can find almost anything at PBS...although you may have to wish list some books. I'm 24th in line (out of ??) to "borrow" a couple of older Balogh books. They may be reissued before I get to the top spot. But it's cheaper than the UBS for many hard to find or out of print books.
