D.G.’s comments from the Pick-a-Shelf group.

Never been to Canada but I definitely want to go!

I finished and there were some parts set in Canada so the fact that it was in this shelf is not as crazy as it sounds! I gave it 4 stars - as usual with this series, some parts are tedious but once you get into the action, it's super exciting.

One person shelved , which I already started, on the Canada shelf so I'll be reading that one. :)

June's update: 59/92 | Read: 48 - DNF: 11

Finally, I was read , which is a definite must read for fans of the series. Just WOW! Definite 5-stars.

I also read , the final book in the series which was totally unnecessary and totally sucked. I gave it 2-stars.

By the time I realized May was over and I didn't post my update, we were almost two weeks into June so I decided to just wait until the end of this month.

Congrats, Tien!

I did a lot of re-reading in May so I didn't have much to post. :) But I should have something by the end of the month.

Dom - Here are 3 choices for you:



Hope you enjoy them!

BRB, Dom!

Hi Amy - sorry for the delay. Here are your picks!

Here they are!

I'll pick for you Bea. BRB.

Hi Amy! Here they are!

This shelf is a strange mix of classics and YA! At least the first few pages.

I'm probably not reading classics so I'll probably stick to YA. Most likely I'll read which I've been meaning to read for a while. :)

The Name of the Wind! This was the book that got me into reading fantasy.

I wish we could do that, Claire! But as far as I know, there's no way to sort the shelves in any way.

Oohh! Great shelf!!

Depravity? Hahahaha!!! I have to check that shelf!!

Just read which I rated 2.5 stars. Didn't like the writing (too flowery and pompous) but I liked the characters and the humor. A funny quote:

“Men aren't known for spilling their guts. It's like their penises block some forms of speech.”

OK, Amy...I'll pick for you. BRB.

Haven't read any of these but they look interesting. L(

- loved the movie!
- beautiful cover, interesting title
- impressed that you're reading such a long series. :)
