Chit-Chat

:D

lol

There's a Books A Million nearby that I love going in, but I rarely have enough money to buy anything there. I just love walking around the bookshelves.

[Sarah]

Wal-mart has cheaper books. But nobody knows about it. :( At leas that's good for me. :)

[Becky]

I love Wal-mart pricing on books! I just wish they had a bigger selection.

[Sarah]

Me too!

[Ruth]

Wal Mart's pricing is a lot nicer, but I still can't afford it at the moment :(
I have to settle with the library.

[Becky]

I LOVE going to the library. I just don't get to go as often as I'd like :)

[Ruth]

There is nothing on earth funner than walking around bookshelves, smelling the smell of books...

[Kayla]

Totally agree!! The only bookstore we have left in my city is a used bookstore, which is great for the prices if you can find the book you're looking for. The library is awesome too, though I do spend my time in the teen section, lol.

[Ruth]

yeah, I rarely venture out of that section.

[Sarah]

i stay in the kids when i'm at the library. the people in the teens/adut scare me. so if i need a book from there i call and have then put it on hold.

[Ruth]

What kind of books are your favorite?

[Sarah]

mostly books made into movie, but i realy like childrens books for some reason. Like if you pick one up randomly and read it, it just makes you think of how inicent little children are and how they belive all the stuff they read. hahaha that sounded dramatic :D

[Ruth]

No, I totally agree! Have you ever read A Series Of Unfortunate Events?

[Sarah]

yes! i am on book 5. i want to see the movie.

[Ruth]

I adore those books!
The movie is really good.

[Sarah]

does it do the book justice (or however you spell it)

[Ruth]

There's a couple things changed, but I think they did really good with the adaption.
However, I saw the movie about a year before I read the books, so I might be forgetting something.
It only does the first three.

[Sarah]

well that sounds good. i will try to get it from the libray but i lost faith in then.

[Ruth]

Does your library not have a good selection?

[Sarah]

I am mad at then because they gave away my book that was on hold. You know what book it was? The book we are reading next mounth! Now I have to wait for it to come in. Or I have to buy it, but I don't want that. GRRRRR!

[Ruth]

That's definately cause to be angry. I hate it when libraries do that.

[Sarah]

I think it might be more of the computer's fault now that I think of it.

[Sarah]

really!

[Sarah]

are you sure it's free? do you have to set up an acount?

[Sarah]

will it keep my place like a bookmark?

[Sarah]

i think i might buy it. computers destract me to much. but thanks for letting me know about it:)

[Sarah]

i saw the hobbit today it was awesome!

[Sarah]

you seen it?

[Sarah]

they are... 3 in all. have you seen les m.

[Sarah]

Hey guys! You want to know something stupid?

[Ruth]

sure, what is it?

[Sarah]

I got the city of bones from the library YESTERDAY!!! I'm mad..... but just a little.

[Ruth]

why are you mad??

[Ruth]

OH!! duh! brain lapse :D

[Sarah]

I have had it on hold for two months but they lost it. Now they found it at the end of the month.

[Ruth]

that rots. I guess you can read it now

[Sarah]

But now I have a ton to read

[Ruth]

hmmmm

[Sarah]

Yeah

[Kayla]

It's a rather fast read... Especially if you get sucked into the story. If you can get sucked into it, you'll wind up finishing it before the end of the month. :) I think I devoured it in a matter of 2 days... and I'm a really slow reader. Where other's are on page 10-11 in five minutes, I'm still on page 4 or so. lol

[Katie]

I agree it's a super quick read. I think I the bigger part of it in a day or two. It may be long in number of pages but it's easy to understand and it's so exciting you just can't put it down =)
I have almost all of the discussion questions posted so when you're ready you can see what we're all talking about. I'm hoping to get the last batch done over the weekend.

[Ruth]

Is it better than Clockwork Angel?

I haven't read it but it's on my TBR. I just took a look at it's Goodreads page and it seems to me as though Clockwork Angel is kind of a prelude to the City of Bones series.

[Sarah]

I can't read it now. I have other books I am reading instead so.... If I had it before the month was half way over I would have been able to read it! That's why I'm mad. But I will read it before I have to turn it in. I just have to finish my other books first.

[Kayla]

Clockwork Angel is set in like 1800's England, but it's again about everything in TMI. I couldn't get into Clockwork Angel though. :/ But hopefully I'll pick it up again and actually get through it.

[Ruth]

I'm not getting that much into it. I mean, it's not the worst thing I've ever read, but then it's not the best either.

[Kayla]

well I got Clockwork Prince for Christmas two years ago and I want to read it, but I just haven't been able to get through Clockwork Angel. I've heard great things about it, but it's just going to take me some time to get through it.

[Kayla]

Okay, so has anyone else read Warm Bodies??? I decided to have it be my W read for my ABC Challenge. I'm already 23% into it. It's fast, rather funny and interesting. I absolutely HATE zombies, but I'm finding this one good and comical. I also want to see the movie, but hadn't thought about reading the book until yesterday. So, I picked it up and in 2 hours I've read to 23%, which is rather fast for me.

[Kayla]

And because it just looks funny - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGRHrr...
