I've been looking at Nothing Daunted for months! Be interested to hear what you think of it!


message 276: by Pam (new)

Pam Williams | 156 comments Good Reads is killing me. This thread is adding even more books to my already full TBR list. Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West sounds so good. I'm picking up The Hunger Games (skimming again before my book club next week) and Beneath a Meth Moon (which I read about on GR.) There aren't enough hours in the day to read everything I want to read! I love the library!

It was okay, but nothing great. I preferred Half Broke Horses, which was the sort-of memoir written by Jeanette Walls about her grandmother's story.


message 280: by Susan (last edited Mar 08, 2012 05:27PM) (new)

Susan (chlokara) I have three books waiting for me at the library. But I'm going to wait a few days to pick them up because I already have several that I need to finish. But, it's driving me crazy because I HAVE THREE BOOKS WAITING FOR ME AT THE LIBRARY!

I not only get my books from the library but also my dvds. I just watched Breaking Dawn and The Rum Diaries! I also check out audio books for when I'm sitting in line at carpool. I use my computer to request items and have them sent to the branch by my house.

I want to read [bookcover:Daughter of Smoke and Bone|8490112 so bad!


message 296: by Amy *Waitforit* (new)

Amy *Waitforit* @Judy, I'm on a bit of an Agatha Christie kick at the moment, I go through phases with her where I read tons and then go off her for a while lol.

@Susan, I read Super Sad True Love Story a few weeks ago and although I liked it, I was a little unsure so thought I would give another of his a go. I'll link to my review when I've read it.

@Kimberly, I have been waiting ages for it and was so excited when I finally got the collection notice but I have had to hide it as I've got others to get through first lol.
