I went to the library today (finally) and got these holds:

Oh Battle Royale! When you get to it, write yourself a character list - it really helped me keep track of who is who (and how they kicked the bucket!). Even though it's a doorstop, I read it really quickly - it was a 'just one more chapter' book for me!

I'm liking it so far.

Awesome Pragya!!! Maybe someday I will get to it if I can find where it is on my dusty bookshelves lol

I picked up these holds today:

and which I'm going to give a try. I wasn't a fan of the first novel in the series so if I don't like this one any better than I will abandon the series.

Just picked up the audiobook for . It looks really creepy (which is right up my alley.)

I read that one a couple weeks ago, I hope you like it more than I did!

Kimberly, Dance of the Tiger: A Novel of the Ice Age looks fascinating. Please tell us what you think of it.

The book makes for a good relaxed reading. I didn't like it as much as I loved other books by Nicholas Sparks. Hope you find it someday when you are in the mood for it.

I'm a big fan of Me & Emma. I hope you like it.

I hope so too, I'm reading it for a buddy read with Robin and another girl in another group and they don't seem to be big fans of it.

Well, it's hard to say that I really liked it. I listened to it on audiotape and almost turned it off after the first few chapters. But I'm nearing the end now and can't stop - kind of like a train wreck.

Picking up Wither, A Monster Calls, and Wonderstruck. I'm reading Divergent now.

Nope...[book:Me & Emma|80534] not a big fan of this book : ( It's ok but not one that I would highly recommend to anyone. I am having a really hard time getting through it as it is soooooooooo slow, dull and boring. It will probably end up with 2.5 or maybe 3 stars.

It's not catching me either Robin, infact it's giving me a headache to read it lol.

Uh oh, will wait for your review before deciding whether it needs to leave my huge TBR.

Pragya I wouldn't recommend it. It has taken me almost a month to read this book and I am still not done with it. There are various points where you think it is going to pick up and then it nose dives. I can only read a few pages at a time and then I have to pick up something else that will hold my attention. When my mind wanders in a book I know it is time to move on. I am forcing myself to read it :(

That is strange that all 3 of us in this buddy read has had serious problems staying focused and reading this book lol At least now we know : )

Uh oh, thanks Robin. I will steer clear of it.

YW!!! I had high hopes for the book and really wanted to read to like it more than I do Pragya but I have been really disappointed in it lol I am anxiously awaiting to see what else Kimberly has to say about it : )

Too funny - I joined the group today and had just gone to the library yesterday. I picked up 2 holds, and . I also checked out a few more :D



This is a post I made in another group:

Hi. My name is jaxnsmom, and I am an addict.

I read/listen just about anywhere. I walk out of a library chastising myself, because there's no way I can read those 10 books and listen to the 10 audiobooks in two weeks, and I KNOW this, so why do I keep doing it??? And I've still got 15 books on my mp3 player, oops, make that 21, I downloaded 6 more today, and those 51 books on the dining room table that I bought last year and swear I'm going to read this year...pressure...not at all. HaHa! And I'm returning audios to another library tomorrow, and I'm almost afraid to think of what might happen...

I picked up these today:

Nice ones Susan :)

I just picked up "The Best Way" by Bill Walker from my local library (in Dallas, TX). It's a hiking narrative about the pilgrimage called El Camino de Santiago (from France to Spain). It sounds really interesting! Here's the author's site - http://www.thebestwaycamino.com

Nice hauls everyone!!!

I got Shelter because someone on GRs recommended it. I just love getting recommendations from other readers.

I liked The Goddess Test - it's an interesting storyline for sure. But the second book? Argh I wanted to slap that girl upside the head. Repeatedly.

Shifting and The Heretic's wife look good. :)

I see you are following up with the Portuguese series.

I've put it on my list Judy :)

It's already on me TBR, Judy. Thanks. :)

With too many books on my TBR, it's difficult to come across one that isn't. :P

I picked up The Tigers Wife which is on my year long challenge so will read it for the Toppler.

Went to the library to return a book and picked upThe Hundred-Foot Journey: A Novel and The House I Loved.

I had to return a stack of books today so I went to pick up my holds from the library today I got these:

and which I saw Robin give a really high rating :)

Yesterday I went to the library and picked these up : )



After devouring I went back to the library to return it and picked up these:

I returned 5 books today - at the drive thru. I'm not allowed to go in a library until I make a dent in the 16 items I still have out :( It was hard, and I might have been shaking as I drove away (withdrawal pains?), but I made it one more day. It's really hard seeing all these wonderful books here. I just want to go to my library's website and put some books on hold :D
