The Bibliophiles discussion

'I'm late, I'm late, For a very important date.'
This is how I feel this month! Behind and late to everything! Time has just slipped by these past few weeks and whoo do I feel rushed! Well now here I am playing catch up! I thought this month we could do something a little more fun for our BOTM. With Spring coming up I think of all the beautiful colors that come to life this time of year, I thought it would be fun to pick a book with a color in the title! Doesn't matter the genre or anything like that, just as long as it's got a color in the title it qualifies! If you have any questions let me know!! Thanks everyone!

From the top of my head
A Clockwork Orange
The Color Purple
Blue Dahlia
Where the Red Fern Grows
Red Dragon
The Green Mile

:) Good?

Perfect! And all fantastic suggestions! The Green Mile is one of my all time favorite books and movies.

I loved all the books on Jenny's list with the exception of Blue Dahlia, but that's the only one I haven't read! I'd be happy to discuss any of them.

I've actually only read the last three on that list but the other ones have been books I've wanted to read for a long time! Especially A Clockwork Orange!

I've only red The Green Mile and A Clockwork Orange, the others are on my ever expanding tbr list.

I'm pretty sure my tbr list grows every single day. (-_-) I'm pretty sure I have the thought 'Oooohhh I neeedd to read that!' at least 15 times a day. The struggle is real!

The smell of promise everytime I walk into a book shop and the list of books I need to read has grown exponentially by the time I step out again. I just cant buy ALL the books. Oh, if I only was filthy rich and borderline immortal! XD

Agreed!!!! Wouldn't life be perfect then! All the books to read and all the time to read them!

There are many books I buy on sale, etc. that I haven't read, but the list of books I really want to read but haven't/can't buy is much, much larger.

For every book I read, at least 3 books are added to my tbr list. Its insane, I'll never be able to die without regrets because I swear I'll be laying on my deathbed, my family grumbeling in annoyance because they had to move 3000 books so they all fit around the bed, and I'm still going in a croaky, wavery voice "I regret many, many things. I never got to read all the books on the 1001 boxall list, or my own tbr list and I never read these 400232345 bestsellers and classics and ... ughh" and then I die and my family will have to move several tons worth of books out of my house and non of them will inherit a single sent if they damage them. ^.^ Heaven better has a library or else I'll pack my bags and go say hi to other religions their after death realms to see if they have something good to read.

Thankfully, the majority of the books I read, but don't get around to reading, nowadays are Nook books. I just bought 5! They had four original X-files books, that I read in paperback decades ago, for only $0.99 each, so I had to buy them and the fourth book in the Millennium series by Stieg Larsson for $4.99. Who could pass that up? It was written after his death so I am anxious to see how it holds up to the other 3.

Oohhh! Fancy! Though I'm skeptical towards any book published after an authors death and edited or finished by another party. Its not always as good. Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy had that too and its just not the same thing.
