I've just purchased Warrior Cats series (the first 18). It's a kids series I want to read, then gift it to my 7yr. old granddaughter . I love being able to discuss books with her! She's been read to from birth and started trying to read when she was 3! She already reads at a third grade level! She will love these books, I'm sure!

Andi (agunforhire) | 22 comments I got my paycheck yesterday, and today was a beautiful sunny day, so I went out and got new books:

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
An Experiment in Love by Hilary Mantel
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
How to Be Good by Nick Hornby
Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
The Beach by Alex Garland
A Widow for One Year by John Irving
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
The Library of Unrequited Love by Sophie Divry

I have already read A Widow for One Year, but I found it in a thrift shop and felt like I'd like to own a copy. :)

This is my biggest book haul ever, which I believe should last me through the rest of the year. :D


message 2022: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Andi great haul!! I wish I could say it would last me to buy that many books, but nope I have to go out at least 2-3 times a month for books just because I love books that much and I know that eventually I will read everything I own.

I can't wait to watch the series. I'm very excited! Now, if only I had time to finish the book...


message 2024: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments Good haul Andi. I really enjyed A Widow for One Year; John Irving is awesome. I can't wait to get to A Prayer for Owen Meany.


message 2025: by [deleted user] (new)

If you like John Irving then you should read The Cider House Rules. It is a great book. Although the subject matter might be a little hard for some people.


message 2026: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments I've been wanting to get my hands on that one for awhile, Janessa. I also want to see the movie.


message 2027: by [deleted user] (new)

The movie is good too. I love Michael Caine:)

Judy | 234 comments Cider house rules - one of my favorite books!


message 2031: by Judy (new)

Judy | 234 comments Anyone read age of miracles? It is YA but an interesting story - know there are some YA fans here


message 2032: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Judy I like some YA, but I have not read Age of Miracles. Who is the Author of that Judy? There are several listed.


message 2033: by Judy (new)

Judy | 234 comments The author is Karen walker. It is a bit scifi but I found it interesting. Not a typical doomsday plot. Makes you think of the things you take for granted


message 2034: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Ah ok I will look it up even though I am not a sci fi fan.

Most recently I have gotten Nevermore, Mockingjay in paperback to match my other two, Tilt, and Divergent in hardback to match the rest of the trilogy, The Here and Now from Net galley to review for the Author.


message 2038: by Andi (new)

Andi (agunforhire) | 22 comments Janie, the Divergent trilogy is on my to-read list. Can you recommend it?


message 2039: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments Ooh Mockingjay is in paperback now? I've been waiting for it to be in pb because the first two I bought were. Will probably grab that soon then :D

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Picked up The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Ultimatum at an op shop for really cheap. I want to read them before I watch the movies.


message 2041: by Chris (new)

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments I pre ordered this last week but it arrived today on the release date and I can't wait to finish what I'm reading to get to it. I just got Trouble in Mind The Collected Stories, Volume 3 by Jeffery Deaver . It's a frist edition Hard cover and the next time Jeffery Deaver is in town I will have him sign this one too. I love new books. Since this is a collection of short stories I might have to start this now and read a story at a time.

Andi yes I recommend The Divergent Trilogy to those who like YA or Dystopian. If you don't like YA then you prolly wont like this trilogy.

In hardcover I bought Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell, The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson, and Mark of Athena and House of Hades books 3 and 4 in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. I don't even have the first two books but I play to read them before the last book comes out this year.
