Book list nerdiness

I think I’ve become a little obsessed with the Goodreads website. I’ve spent oodles of time there lately, adding all the books I’ve read over the past few years to my account. I think I’m almost done. However, it doesn’t quite match my LibraryThing account. I know the two lists don’t HAVE to match exactly, but…I would really like for them to! Lol. I’ve also got 3 different TBR lists (one on GR, one on LT and an Excel file on my PC) that I need to somehow combine into one master, monster list. And I need to stop adding titles to all of these because I start to get anxious whenever I feel like they are getting too long. I mean, I start to feel like I won’t ever actually have time to read ALL of these books. And that just makes me sad.

I have issues, I know.

Anyway, as of yesterday Fear and Laundry is now available as an ePub download on Goodreads for the low, low price of just a dollar.

Speaking of pricing: one of the things that appeals most to me about indie publishing is the ability to set my own prices. In particular, I really love the idea of making books available for cheap and/or free. I don’t think Amazon and B&N allow indies to set their ebook prices at zero - although that would be awesome - but it’s cool that Goodreads does. I didn’t know that when I first put Fear out. I’m still editing my next project (still untitled) but am already thinking ahead to its release (I’m aiming for December) and am definitely toying with the idea of making it a freebie in some way, shape or form. Hmmm…

In other news: I saw Motley Crue this past weekend and they put on a great show! This Friday I’m going to Sarah Dessen’s signing. I’ve been waiting for this event to buy a copy of her new book, and am excited I’ll finally get to read it.
