Chicks On Lit discussion

What books are you waiting to buy or pick up at the library? Are you waiting on any GR loans or swaps?

I'm waiting on the following from the library...
1) Face Forward- Kevyn Aucoin
2) That Extra Half an Inch- Victoria Beckham
3) The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time (August's read!)

And I will be buying these soon...
1) The Notebook- Nicholas Sparks
2) The Little Princess- Frances Hodgson Burnett

Brittany, I have The Notebook. Its currently listed on Paperback Swap but no one has requested it yet. Do you want it? Message me your address and I will send it to you.

I am waiting for a few also. The one that is on the top of my list is Michelle Richmond's Year of Fog.

Should we start a thread of books youd like and books you have to get rid of? Maybe we will be able to make some swaps within our group. I know I have a list of books on pbs that have been sitting there Id love to send off to someone?

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I just had to return "Gluten-Free Girl" by Shauna James Ahern because I ran out of renewals & I'm not finished, so it's on my 'to buy' list! (Given all my health prob's, I think it's got some really great info re: what to eat & what not to eat!)

Books on reserve at the library

Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer (I got lucky and am number 4 for this. They posted it on the site real early)

When you are engulfed in flames by David Sedaris (books on cd - the only way to "read" a book by David Sedaris)

The battle of the labyrinth by Rick Riordin (SP?) - 4th book of the Percy Jackson series

I think that is it. The rest should be movies.

Hey Peanut I just went to the David Sedaris book signing here in Tulsa a few weeks ago. My Mom & I picked up that exact same book then!!

Now on my reserve list at the library...
I am still awaiting
1. Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell Cleghorn (I have been on the list since it was shown on PBS this past spring only 3 more people to go!!!)

2. An Assembly Such as This: a Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy by Pamela Aidan (its the first of a three part series & I am the type that has to read them in order)

Leslie - I can't decide whether or not to listen to the book or not. I bought a ticket to see him/hear him in October. I'm thinking I just might want to be surprised by his new work. Can't decide!!!!

THE NEW TWILIGHT BOOK, BREAKING DAWN!!!!!! :)
August, baby! :)

I'm also ready for a new Anita Shreve. I love her.

I am waiting for:

A book by beth moore...I am doing her bible study and she wrote a book about parenting.

I am also waiting for the Maria de los Santos book...can't think of the name off hand.

Another addition to my 'buy/swap' etc list: Quilting for Dummies, the 2nd edition!
