2013-12 - Road Trip - What will you be reading?

[Tien]

Thanks to Niamh & Tara for picking so early! Isn't it great we can get some books organised before the busy season and hopefully fit in some reading ;)

Where will you go this holiday on your road trip?

[D.G.]

This one should fit so let me check the shelf, LOL!

[D.G.]

This one should fit but let me check the shelf, LOL!

ETA: Wow! I picked it without checking and it's the second on the list!

I see other books on my TBR that are on the shelf but they are the tearjerker variety. I want something cheerful, LOL!

Others that I might to check out:
(this last one is one of my POTS books so I may go with that one.)

I've been wanting to start and actually finish a Neil Gaiman book for the longest time, so I'll be reading American Gods.

[Bea]

I would like to read On the Jellicoe Road, if my library has it. I will also read The Bean Trees, since I have it handy in my home.

[Adrienne]

So, the ones on my list are The 5th Wave, Me Before You, Americanah, and The Light Between Oceans. I won't get them all read, but I could choose from this list.

[Lauren]

My options include: , and

[LynnB]

Think I'll read by Steinbeck. Most of the ones on this list that I wanted to read I have already read. I'll have to search further into the list later.

[Tara]

I am going to try to read Blood Red Road. I am also going to try to get my hand on The Thief (since it works for our challenge too).

[Tien]

Apparently, Game of Thrones have been shelved as 'road-trip' 2 times so guess what I'll be reading ;)

[Tara]

I ended up breaking down and picking up Amy and Roger's Epic Detour the other day. Will try to get that in as well.

Tien- Are you still trying to read that book? I have that on my shelf too and always find a reason not to read it.

Sweet action! Me too.

[Susan]

None of what I've seen so far has grabbed me as a December read, but I'm tentatively going to go for Enclave. And I'm continuing to hunt to see if The Passage is on the list, since I'll be reading it for POTS and LOST. So far, no luck, but there are 67 pages of shelves for it, so maybe it'll be there.

[Tien]

Oops, why didn't anyone tell me the thread's subject didn't have the shelf name?

@Tara: yep, will be reading GoT - you can check the "schedule" here

[Lisa]

Great choice Tara. I have so many on this shelf that I would love to read. I will be starting with Night Train to Lisbon and then Breathing Lessons is on the list. I just read this exquisitely heart-wrenching book the other day and gave it a delicious 5 stars. I also noticed Lolita is on this shelf. I may jut have to read it for the 6th time..one of my favourites. Thanks again Tara.

[Carol]

This category is a stretch for me, but that's why I like Pick-a-shelf. It gets me into new areas. It seems like most of the books have a more youthful slant. So I'm going to try The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants since my daughter has a copy.

[Tien]

Carol, by 'youthful slant', are you referring to young adult books?

From what's been picked by everyone else on this thread, there seems to be only about 25% YA... There does seem to be a lot of YA on the first page of the shelf. How far did you go into it, Carol?
