CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

To be read piles are always so much fun to dive into, especially the larger they are. I always find myself surprised by discoveries. The other day, I unearthed my copy of Les Miserables that I bought back in 2012 when the movie came out. Have I read it yet? Nope. It was buried at the bottom of my pile.

For the book you chose to read for the book club, do you know how long you've had it in your pile? What's the book that's been in your pile longest?

Les Miserables has probably been in my pile the longest (though I'm not looking at the any of to be read lists). Shadow and Bone, which I'm reading for this, has probably been in my pile for 6 months. I keep checking it in/checking it back out from the library.

I’m not sure my memory goes back far enough to know how long the books have been on my shelves. Ha ha.
I’ll pick up a bunch of paper bucks at the Goodwill and think I will read these, but instead I’m always trying to get the new releases from the library so the paperbacks sit there.

Haha. I completely understand. Goodwill has such good book bargains! I keep promising myself that I'll read books I already own but then I'll walk past a new book shelf at work and snag five books off it.
