Victor, there was not a publication date yet either, at least not when I looked it up. I am hoping not too long from now, but the series is pretty new so we will see.

Jen, I just read World after and was totally consumed by the book! You will love it!

Hey Cassie! I have seen a lot of people say Nineteen Minutes is one of her best novels. I have My Sister's Keeper, which is her most famous novel. I am really looking forward to reading her books and hopefully finding a new author to read. :)

Odd Thomas is a great series, so far I've only read the first two books and I can't wait to read the rest. Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors.

Corey | 1411 comments I went to Goodwill today and I bought The Partner by John Grisham.

I used to love her books but I read too many in a row... I think I must have OD'd because these days I just can't seem to bring myself to pick up any of her novels :/

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments The family and I went for a day out since I was off one of my jobs this morning. We went to the mall and visited B&N. I found a hardcover first edition of The Drop (Harry Bosch, #17) by Michael Connelly on their bargan table. So excited becuase I was missing this one.

I like it, it tells you how long you have to finish a book based on how fast you read. I've only had it about a week!

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Glad you're enjoying it Cassie! I love mine too - I didn't expect to like it so much or get so much use out of it. Pretty good value for money if you ask me!

Cassie glad you are enjoying yours. I also got one, but it was early last month. I still like physical books better, but it nice to have the kindle as well when I am reviewing for Net Galley.

My physical library is still much bigger than my kindle library. For my physical library I am nearing 800 books. For my kindle I am at 148. The best thing about it is most of my kindle books were free except maybe 2 of them. And my physical books are all mostly bargain books. There are a few that were bought at full price, but not many of them. I am such a bargain shopper.

So my sister in Indiana has been shopping for me at her local library, just something she likes to do from time to time. She usually gets me on the phone and goes through the books with me LOL Whispering the whole time so much so that I find myself whispering back, true story. Anyway she said she was pretty excited so she sent me a picture of the books that she bought for me. So I thought I would share them with my GR family.




message 2130: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments haha I've got a friend who does that Janie but she doesn't whisper and I can normally hear her kids running and screaming through the shop causing havoc hahaha!

That's a great stack of books that she got for you - lucky you!

LOL Rachel, you should have seen us when I was there for Christmas. We must have been looking through the 'for sale' for at least an hour and I walked away with 29 books that time.


message 2135: by Sam (new)

Sam Arnold (samharnold) First edition copy of Brave New World which was expensive but not as expensive as it should have been. So I still feel like I got a bargain.


message 2136: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 345 comments Well, I didn't buy, but I finally went through the books my sister-in-law gave me back at the beginning of February, and ended up finding a couple in there that looked interesting. A lot more went on paperbackswap, and a few went in the yard sale box, but I'm happy I finally got that box out of the middle of the bedroom floor lol.

Yep. I'm very excited about it; haven't read any SK for a while. Also, now that I have a few pennies to spare, I'll get the The Silmarillion next.
