Lol Rachel. I love Agent Pendergast; he's one of my favorite character. I read that one; great read.

[Holly]

Lol Janie. Which ones do you have?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

um I have *runs to the library* ok I have Brimstone, Still Life With Crows, and The Cabinet of Curiosities. Any specific order?

[Rachel]

holly would probably know better than me but from what i can tell those are books 3 (cabinet), 4 (still life with crows)& 5 and can all be read as stand alones. looks like book 5 (brimstone) is the first book of one of the trilogies within the series.

[Holly]

Still Life and Cabinet can be read as stand alones, yes. Speaking of which, we should so do a buddy read for Still Life With Crows!! :-D

sounds like a plan :D

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I would love that Holly! Yay! Just say when and I am there!

[Holly]

YAY!!!!!!! Lol :-D

[Holly]

Hmm...how about after we read The Innocent? Or is that too far away?

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

That is fine by me Holly! I am so excited now! hehe I love buddy reads!

[Rachel]

that works for me too :)

[Holly]

Great guys! I'm excited too; buddy reads are awesome!!!! :-D

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

They are! It makes reading so much more exciting when you can share your thoughts with others. You guys think we should start a thread to see if anyone else might be interested.

[Holly]

Totally agree! Yeah, maybe we should.....

Rachel I am sorry I totally did not see this post. I think we posted at the same time. Thanks also for the help on that.

[Rachel]

your welcome Janie :)

[Kit★]

Got five books for $1 at the flea market today. Picked up , , , , and , all paperback.

[Holly]

Nice Kit!

[Rachel]

That's a great deal Kit-hope you enjoy them!

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Wow great books for spending $1. Love when that happens.

[Kit★]

Yea, I was happy! Didn't get the trade paperback Gunslinger that I was wanting, but it's alright, there's always next time. I was looking for a copy of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, but the guy with the good deal didn't have it, and the people who did were wanting $4 for a beat-up paperback, so it'll have to wait too :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

I actually did spend $4 on my copy of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, but it was in pretty good shape. So I was happy.

[Kit★]

Lol for a nice copy it's a good deal, but this one was all creased on the spine and covers, pages dog-eared. I'd pay a quarter for that, but not much more.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Yea I can totally understand that Kit. Did ya look on Amazon? Some of the third party co that sell through Amazon have great used books for a penny. You can get new ones too though. I shop that way all the time, especially if our local UBS does not have what I am looking for. But then again you do have the shipping to contend with but the books are in better shape.

great haul Janie! I really like lisa gardner and I've been wanting to try Karin slaughter's books for a while now-hope you enjoy them :)

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Thanks Rachel. They are new for me as well. So I look forward to trying them out. The Other Daughter sounded really good. If I like these 2 the UBS had plenty of their stuff. At least for now they do.

[Michelle]

I bought Bizenghast Volume 2, Bizenghast Volume 3, and Bizenghast Volume 4. I'm not usually a reader of graphic novels, but Bizenghast is a really cool fantasy series. I kinda stumbled across V1 at the library, and glad I did! :)

[Holly]

Nice haul Janie!

[Holly]

I just got 1984 by George Orwell.

Ahh.... one of my favorite books of all time, Holly! A fantastic Dystopian novel. Classic!

[Holly]

I've heard nothing but food things about it Dustin! Even David said it was good, and you now that he doesn't read much!

Yeah, I do know that. The writing blew me away from the get-go!

[Holly]

Fantastic! I can't wait to get to it!

[Chris]

So it has been a long time since I have bought a book but I did acquire some new ones recently. I actually won two books from the Goodreads giveaways and those are, Garment of Shadows, and Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Vol. 2. I also just got around to having dinner with my mom for my birthday (a week and a half later) and she gave me Joyland. I am really excited to get into these books. I think I will try to join the Stephen King group for their monthly read of Joyland coming up.

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Oh nice Chris! I know you will enjoy Joyland! It was amazing.

[Chris]

Glad to hear it, I have been itching to get this book but funds kept me from it. I can't wait to start.

[Alondra]

within the past week... 172 Hours on the Moon, which was recommended by Victor :). I also got House of Leaves; Fire and Ash, which is the last book in the Rot & Ruin series; and ARC of My Mother's Secret: A Novel Based on a True Holocaust Story. I hope that ARC is good, or else....

[Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict]

Alondra I would just like to get Book 2 in the Rot and Ruin series. I guess a trip to B&N or Amazon to get Dust and Decay and Flesh and Bone. I really enjoyed the first one. And thanks so much for the link to Overrun, this has been a great Zombie Apocalypse read. I am totally enjoying it. And the best part, it was free.
