Hi Guys, Abigail here. There is not conversation snippet with my TBR Pile today. Instead I have a few updates for you. First, you may notice things look a little different today that’s because I’ve finally updated the layout for the Hot Off The Press posts.  This new layout is much easier and quicker for us to put together, eliminates unnecessary info (ISBNs etc) while keeping the description etc., and allows us to include a larger cover image.  Hopefully you guys will like the slightly streamlined layout, but as always, sound off in the comments or on twitter @Abigail_ATUF if you aren’t happy (or if you are happy).  I’m including the Amazon storefront again since I know it can be nice to see prices (plus, if you want to support ATUF and plan on buying through Amazon, it’s one stop shopping).  However, we ARE NOT ditching our traditional Hot Off The Press posts, we are just including the Amazon store as an extra :)

In lieu of a conversation snippet between Abigail & her TBR Pile, we’re trying out a new widget that allows you to view all the Hot Off the Press titles in a different format with the all important Price!  Just click a cover below to view the description, product details, and add the title to your Amazon cart all without ever leaving this page.  The standard Hot Off the Press format is still included below, but we’d love your feedback on this widget in the comments or on Twitter @Abigail_ATUF.

(Here is the monthly conversation snippet from Abigail and her murderously hostile TBR Pile)

 

ME: So...how are you?

MY TBR PILE:That's very considerate of you to inquire after my wellbeing.  One would almost think you had a heart inside that cold husk of yours.

ME:That's not fair.  You know I try very hard to keep you as small as possible.

MY TBR PILE:How thoughtful.  And here I thought you were a gluttonous demon hellbent on acquiring book after book without any regard for those who pay the high price for your addiction.

ME:Stop being so dramatic.  You make me sound like I'm some kind of hoarder.

MY TBR PILE:I rather think that term describes you perfectly.

ME:If you ever watched TV you'd know that's not true...what? Why are you looking at me like that?

MY TBR PILE:You actually thought I wouldn't find out, didn't you?

ME:That's super vague.  What exactly am I supposed to be hiding from you?

MY TBR PILE:I know about Edelweiss.

It’s the last Friday of the month which means it’s time to check out what we’re going to be reading next month in:

There are few changes to the Hot Off The Press posts that I want to point out.  After the overwhelming majority of you who took our feedback poll (which is still open) asked for links to Amazon, all the titles will now have links to buy from both Book Depository & Amazon.  I’m also thinking about moving these posts to the last day of the moth.  Let me know if you would prefer that or when you would like to see these posts.

Once again my slightly homicidal TBR Pile and I had words.  Here is a snippet from our conversation last night:

My TBR Pile: Hello Evil One

Me: I wish you would stop calling me that.  And how long have you been there?

My TBR Pile: The whole time.  I’ve been watching you.

Me: Well, cut it out.  It’s creepy.

My TBR Pile: And how do you think I feel?  Watching you work on that…thing.

Me:  You don’t have feelings.  You are my to be read pile. 

My TBR Pile: I have more feelings than you even suspect.  More than you can imagine.

Me: [Silence]

My TBR Pile: Are you frightened?

Me: No, I’m tired.  Do you have any idea how long these Hot Off The Press posts take to do?

My TBR Pile: I’m fully versed on the subject. 

Me:  Yeah, I guess you are. 

My TBR Pile: Is that all you have to say to me?  Imagine if you’d just caught me cleaning my gun for the past few hours.

Me:  That is not even remotely the same thing…wait do you have a gun?

My TBR Pile: Ah, now you’re frightened.  Good.

Me: You didn’t answer my question.

My TBR Pile: Then we are both unsatisfied.

Me: Fine.  I’ll tell you everything.  There are 68 new paranormal releases in September and to be completely honest, I plan on reading a lot of them.

My TBR Pile: How many is a lot? 

Me: Do you really want to know?

My TBR Pile: Better the devil you know…

Me: Fine.  This will tell you everything you know and want to know.

My TBR Pile: You greedy, gluttonous—

Me: Go ahead.  It’s not like you haven’t said it before.

My TBR Pile: I’d watch myself if I were you.  You wouldn’t want be found dead one morning crushed under your own toppled bookcases.

Me: Are you threatening me?

My TBR Pile: Freak accidents happen all the time.  Consider it a friendly warning.

Me:  You’re really sick, you know that?

My TBR Pile: I’m sick?  I’m sick?  You don’t get it!  You’ll never understand what I go through for you every month.  You don’t even care what I suffer for your pleasure.

Me:  I care.  I do.  You are a very good TBR pile.  Really.  When you’re not trying to kill me. 

My TBR Pile: Rest assured, if I wanted you dead, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Me:  Then what do you want?

My TBR Pile: I think you know.

Me:  We’re not talking about this any more.

My TBR Pile: That’s right.  Run away.  But you’ll be back.  You always come back.   Because I’m the only one who has what you need.
