What books have you checked out or bought lately

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

That is my favourite one. :) enjoy! Let me know what you think! I do think there needs to be a new series of Mansfield Park which is very accurate and a decent length and more modern than the 1983 one. But the 1999 one is my favourite. :)

I commend you for reading LOTR. My boyfriend told me that it's not easy reading LOTR and The Hobbit. It takes a lot of time and patience.

Haha. Not really ... well, The Hobbit is pretty action packed. And so far LotR hasn't been all that boring or hard to read. Thanks xD.

@Aerykah: Awesome! Which editions? I bought the movie versions, lol, so these ones:

[Aerykah]

I didn't see the editions I have in any of the photos here on Goodreads... The books are small paperbacks in a gold colored box, though, I think. I got them used (pretty obvious considering what I paid for them) & you can tell they've been handled quite a bit, but they're still in really good condition. :)

That is so cool! They sound beautiful. Mine were a bit bashed in the mail (the corners of the box set are scuffed :c) so they look read, too. And they will look read when I've read them!

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

Yesterday in the mail I got:

by Patricia C. Wrede

by Diane Zahler

by Erin Hunter

by Deborah Harkness

(the last two being for my middle daughter for her birthday next week).

Awesome! I've read two of those :D

I just downloaded 700 e-books from the Gutenberg-project. I think that is a bit too much to mention here. But I bought also Anna Karenina and Independent people (Icelandic book, and one of my favourite) as real books

[Beth]

The Julie Andrews book was one of my favorites when I was younger :)

[Maggie]

Recently checked out Mr. Darcy's Diary, Colonel Brandon's Diary, and Edmund Bertram's diary from the library. I also recently finished The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, which was amazing! I also checked out 1984 and The Chronicles of Downton Abbey.

Colonel Brandon and Edmund Bertram's diaries are my favorites and IMO her best.The Chronicles of Downton Abbey is a really beautiful and if you are a Downton fan IMO a must read.

Can't wait to read these! :)

It's been a good two days. LOL

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

The Queen's Governess sounds good!

[Caity, that crazy moderator]

Ikr? I can't wait to read it. I've read SO many books about Elizabeth I and Kat is continually in these books (but as a minor character) and she's always intrigued me. ♥ and Karen Harper is a good author. she uses some bad language that I don't care for but she's VERY good with her plots. I liked her Pyson Garden.

[Caity, that crazy moderator]

Poyson*** (misspelled on purpose)

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

I'll have to look the author up and see what I can find of hers. bad language doesn't bother me, unless it's just excessive for the sole purpose of a shock value then it's just dumb. Thanks.

[Caity, that crazy moderator]

No problem, hope you find something you like!

I always wanted to read The Princess Bride!

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

me too Carol - I love the movie so I'm hoping I'll love the book too.

[Beth]

It's quite different from the movie. But I did enjoy it.

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

yeah that's what I've heard, hubby read it many many moons ago and he enjoyed it as well.

I was thinking of checking out Silva's Fallen Angel, wondering if I should? I know there's a series of books involving the main character and I haven't read any of them. Was wondering if I should read those books before reading this one?

[Leslie]

Well today, I'll finally get to pick up so I'll be currently reading that.

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

Leslie - I didn't realize that there is a series of books involving the main character and nothing in the plot summary on the book indicated that this was "another" story involving the character so maybe it doesn't matter? lol I don't know. If I read it before you decide to check it out I'll let you know, the plot sounded really good.

[Leslie]

Thank you Kim. Yea I looked it up and there are previous books written involving the main character. You'll probably end up reading it before I check it out cuz I am backed up in books I wanna read Lol Got a looonnng list (and growing) of books I want to read. So would appreciate any feedback on that book. ^_^

lol will do. I am currently reading a couple library books before I delve into the ones I just bought (The Fallen Angel is one of the ones I bought). But once I read it I will for sure let you know how it is and if I think I should have read the other books first :-)

[Leslie]

Thank you Kim! ^_^
