@Sophie - I really need to get back to The In Death series and find out what has been going on with them.

Teehee, a sentiment that most of us can probably rel..."

This is exactly me.

Hi Guys, I am currently in the process of deleting books from my TBR as the blurbs no longer appeal to me or they are not available in the library. On another note, I have also added a lot more.

Finished , I don't think it was a book for my age. Seemed very childish but not meant for children. It does resonate with today's work were kids are easily influenced.

I gave up on the book I was reading moving on to the first page of my want to read books. I also deleted books that no longer sound interesting to me. Have read a total of 1 book so far.

It was a required reading in my school life and for the time I enjoyed it. Especially when we compared it to those time. This was years ago and I never read it again so I don't know how I feel about it now.

Finished NetGally book #1 Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin **
Unbelievable young adult book with so much hype going into it. You really have to suspend reality for this.

I am committed to reading / reviewing my oldest book this month.
Death at a Fixer-Upper as well as Foul Is Fair which seems more of an inappropriate book for naive teenagers.

I have 699 books on my TBR shelf. I would like to get through 25.

That was a good series.
