Thalia’s comments from the The Dusty Bookshelf group.

My copy of The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights hasn't come in the mail yet! It's driving me CRAZY! I check the mail every single day, just waiting to see it!

Uh oh, also Bronte? Jane Eyre is on my DBC, but...now I have to decide between that and S&S! x)

Huh, I never knew that. I don't have any "smart" devices that I'd be able to check GR on. OTL. In any case, I'll post both title and cover, because I really like seeing the covers of what other people are reading, too. (:

Right now, I'm in a lull before having to start March monthly challenges and having just finished my February ones. So I'm reading something light, hahah. (:


Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter.

Strange Angels! Been meaning to pick that series up! (: You'll have to let me know how you like it! And you can save Persuasion for JA month! (:

I think the ones that have to go on my all-time best list are the Lord of the Rings movies, the 2004 Phantom of the Opera, "A Knight's Tale" and...we'll go with Aladdin. And all classic Disney movies, of course. (:

I really like mostly any type of movie, except documentaries, hahah. I love all the superhero movies (though I'll admit I'm not excited for the new Spiderman...I can't handle just "throwing out" the previous three!), I love action-y movies, I love romantic comedies, I love ANYTHING. (:

Casey, you'll have to let me know if you like Dorian Gray! When I wrote my review for it last year, I couldn't put my finger on why, but I just loved it so much! (:

You guys have such great lists! I find myself adding more and more things to my own. x) Also, does anyone plan on reading The Great Gatsby this year? We'll be reading it in my HAMLIT class before the year is out. (:

Would sometime in March work for Shiver? I'm reading it in a monthly challenge sometime during the month, so I'm throwing it out there. (:

My parents do! (: My brother and I LOVE Poe, hahah. Although his life story is a little bit crazy, hahah.

The one I'm reading from is Complete Tales & Poems, but I think any would work as long as all of them are in there. (:

Kelly, Shiver is part of the Wolves of Mercy Falls series. (: I think there's only three books, though.

4/5

This Lullaby, by Sarah Dessen.

While it's not on my "dusty shelf" challenge, I've owned it for a little less than a year and have never read, which is dusty in my terms. (: So I count it in my head, hahah.

If you read the DJ MacHale series and if you get to book ten...DON'T read the epilogue. Just...rip it out of your book before you even start. I loved the series and the epilogue killed everything for me. :[

I'm getting antsy waiting for my book to come in the mail, hahaha. Steinbeck, where are you?

Dalynn, there's one series called the Pendragon series, written by DJ MacHale. That one is the popular YA series, and it has ten books in it. There's another series called the Pendagon Cycle, which IS Arthurian. Is that the one you're talking about? x)

vs.

Dalynn wrote: "I don't guess I'd realized that the Pendragon series was Arthurian. Exciting!"

What Pendragon series are you referring to? I read the Pendragon series by DJ MacHale solely because of the series title, even though it had nothing to do with Arthurian history. XD

I finished last night (starting at 1:30am, since I decided to watch Attack of the Clones after having seen Phantom Mencace in theatres again, hahah), and it was great! I liked it much more than I thought I would, even if it had its little flaws. (:

Unfortunately though, none of my February challenge reads are dusty books as well, so let's hope my challenge widget doesn't tell me I'm falling behind, hahah.

EDIT:
Nevermind! I decided to up my challenge to twenty dusty books, and random.org actually chose the book I'm reading right now to be one of my dusty books, hahah. Woo hoo for random convienience. (:

Oh, April and all the other Paradise Lost folks. The book was mentioned in something I read recently, so now I'm officially adding it to my list, hahah. We'll see how long it takes me to get around to that one. x)

Maybe since we're all pretty excited for Jane Austen, we could do that one in April?

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter.

This one is a reread for me, but I remember loving it! (:

Alright! Ten days from now the Poe extravaganza begins! (:

But was it an issue of reading the titles on the pictures and not knowing about hovering your mouse?
