It does, and my bookcase has a lot too. Plus, I got a Kindle for my birthday last week, and that's full of free/cheap books I picked up :)

message 9: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) I like having somewhere to list what I've read :) And I like looking at other people's challenges to get ideas for more books to read (as if I need any more books in my tbr list :P)

message 23: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to The House (Trix SinClara #1) by Emma Faragher

'Then I caught a sense of it, like a taste in the back of my mouth. Magic,they weren't just guys looking for trouble. They were Vampyre with trouble written all over them. And there were two more, less than a metre and a half away.'

My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 24: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to The White Queen (The Cousins' War, #1) by Philippa Gregory

'Everyone knows that these wars have torn our country apart, have destroyed our prosperity, our friendliness between neighbours, our trust of strangers, the love between brothers, the safety of our roads, the affection for our king; and yet nothing seems to stop the battles.'

My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 25: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Lovely Lies by LaShanta Charles

'His scent assaults my nose. Someone should seriously bottle it up for me. His voice gives me goosebumps. He's much taller than I thought. I'm 5'7" and wearing heels and I still have to tilt my head to look at him. I finally manage to croak out, "I'm fine." He smiles at me. I feel faint. If it were possible, I'd melt.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 26: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to The Red Queen (The Cousins' War, #2) by Philippa Gregory

'We may be of the same family but that is the very reason why we are not friends, for we are rivals for the throne. What quarrels are worse than family quarrels? We may all be cousins; but they are of the house of York and we are of the house of Lancaster. Never forget it.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 27: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Crash (Crash, #1) by Nicole Williams

'I danced until the sun set and the sky grew dark. I danced until I tore through the same CD three times. I danced until I'd chugged down two liters of water. But no matter how hard I danced, or how intensely I concentrated on perfecting each and every step, I never stopped thinking about Jude.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 28: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Fuel to the Fire (Fuel to the Fire, #1) by David Staniforth

'People will always believe what they see over what they feel. In every case there's always a greater truth than eyesight reveals.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 29: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to The Lady of the Rivers (The Cousins' War, #3) by Philippa Gregory

'We stand hand-clasped, our faces quite blank, as if this were not a nightmare that tells me, as clearly as if it was written in letters of fire, what ending a girl may expect if she defies the rules of men. I am not only here to witness what happens to a heretic. I am here to witness what happens to a woman who thinks she knows more than men.'

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Lady of the Rivers is my bath book at the moment! I'm not very far into it yet


message 31: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Fuel to the fire would be a good bath book, Jud, as it'd keep the water hot ;~)


message 32: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments I don't know where you live David but my hot water comes from a tap, I don't burn books underneath my bath to heat the water.


message 33: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Haha, It's only available as an ebook anyway, so wouldn't burn too well.


message 34: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments Don't you know Jud is banned from bringing kindle into bath now?


message 35: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments It's true... I am.


message 36: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 5/5 stars to The Iron-Jawed Boy (The Sky Guardian Chronicles, #1) by Nikolas Lee

'The Balance, my boy, is the war that has been waged since before time was time, the battle within ourselves to do what is good and reject what is bad. It is a delicate line we all walk, a constant struggle of push and pull.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 3/5 stars to Dark Albion by David Brian

'She was alive, and although if anyone were to find out the truth, they would seek to brand her a monster. They would be wrong; she was now so much more than Juliet Carlson.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 38: by Elle (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Ruler's Desire (Fuel to the Fire, #2) by David Staniforth

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to A Shade of Vampire (A Shade of Vampire, #1) by Bella Forrest

'I'd never felt more vulnerable than I did the moment Derek Novak's electric blue eyes settled on me. His gaze betrayed the thoughts roaming his mind. I was a lamb - a lamb ready for slaughter.'

Elle (louiselesley) | 6579 comments you are absolutely flying rebecca, you might even have to increase your goal!


message 44: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 3/5 stars to Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse, #13) by Charlaine Harris

'I had a fleeting second of incredulity that there'd ever been a time I hadn't known the extent of the supernatural world. And here I sat in Lucky Bar-B-Q with two witches, two part-demons, a telepath, and a weretiger.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 45: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 5/5 stars to Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

'She was gone, and yet she was more present than anyone else. I'd fallen in love with Amy because I was the ultimate Nick with her. Loving her made me superhuman, it made me feel alive.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 46: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Switched (Trylle, #1) by Amanda Hocking

'Everything felt way too big in this house. With all this vast space between everything, it felt like I was trapped on an island. I always thought that's what I wanted, to be my very own island. But here I was, and I felt nothing but isolated and confused.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 47: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Under the Full Moon (Swamp Magic, #2) by Bobbi Romans

'If not for his beady eyes and puny size, he may have been considered distinguished looking by some. But she was all about the eyes, and his held a madness within the squinty glare.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 48: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 5/5 stars to Slammed (Slammed, #1) by Colleen Hoover

'Does he treat you with respect at all times? That's the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire you to want to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes about to all three, then you've got yourself a good man.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


message 49: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 3/5 stars to Death By Honeymoon by Jaden Skye

'She suddenly realised that it didn't matter. Maybe it wasn't about ever getting over it. It was about finding the truth, getting justice for Clint, stopping worse things from happening. There was no time for self-pity. She had a big job ahead.'

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 4/5 stars to Kiera's Quest Awakenings (Kiera's Quest, #1) by Kristy Brown

'Somewhere deep down inside her, there was a puzzle she could not solve. This feeling made her uneasy and edgy, so she buried it away and kept it hidden. In her dreams though, came the desire to seek it out. And in her dreams something, or someone, was seeking her.'
