Week 32: What are you planning to read?

[Liz]

Share 5 books that you really want to read this year.

This week, let's try something different. See the prompt above. I think we've had enough of updating what we're all reading so let's take a short break.

Here are my 5:

[Jodie]

I don't have 5 yet, but there are two, and both by the same author:



Their size is daunting!

I just picked up this from a display table at the library; it looks intriguing! (I know; I wasn't going to get any more books until I finished what was on my nightstand, but I can't help myself!):

[Rekesha]

The 5 books that I would like to read this year are:

[Liz]

Rekesha, I really liked the first two on your list! I couldn't finish A Discovery of Witches. I've always heard good things, but there was something about it, I just couldn't get in to. I hope you enjoy it!

[Ann]

There are several authors that I would like to reread and get caught up on (Charles Todd, Anne Perry, Jacqueline Winspear), but these are 5 books that I would like to read this year:

[Katie]

I'm dying to read the next Song of Ice and Fire but it prolly won't be available until at least 2016. So instead I want to read....
1. The Magicians Land by Lev Grossman
2. How They Croaked by Kevin O Malley
3. Salt and Storm by Kendall Kelper.

Rekesha and Liz- I loved A Discovery of Witches- the audio is amazing! I want to listen to the third in the series, The Book of Life. I also want to read the latest Amy Tan and Wally Lamb novels. I would love to re-read all of Octavia Butler's novels too, except there are too many new books to read to make that commitment!

[Joanna]

I've been on a Tolkien-kick recently so most of my "really want to read" books are from or about him.

Tolkien and the Great War sounds interesting, I might have to check it out.

Ohhh, I love this discussion thread! So up next for me is . This book won so many awards, they can't put all the seals on the front cover or it wouldn't fit! The second book I want to read this year is to cover both the June challenge and August art challenge. Then I want to finally read the book so I can donate it to my middle school library for my kiddos to enjoy. Also on my constant to read list is any of the books that I have at my home that have been signed by the author (the perk of being a middle school librarian is meeting lots of authors at conferences!). I think I am going to start with or . Last but not least for my five is my back to work car audiobook selection, which I think will be .

I loved Freddy and Fredericka! Pretty bizarre, but a fun read! I hope you enjoy the audio.

[Kelsey]

My major goal this year is to finish all of Jane Austen's novels! I read several years ago, finished earlier this year, and now I'm halfway through . That means I have these left!

[Liz]

Looks like everyone has some great titles on the horizon! I have this issue where every time I see a new book, whether it's on the shelf, on goodreads or just mentioned in passing, I want to read it NOW! It's great that I have such a long list of potential books but bad because I'll never get the end of that list!

[Katie]

4. Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
5. Queen and Commander by Janine A. Southard

[Julie]

Hmm, this is a tough one, but I guess off the top of my list are reading some books that were made into movies. I try to read a book before seeing the movie, so I guess those would include:
, , , , and .

The crazy part is that I know there are some other movies from books that I want to read as well! There are just so many movies based on books these days it is hard to keep up!

I listened to Under the Dome on audio (from the library) & it was great. It's such a big book I didn't think I could hold it while I was readying it. :)

1. Gone Girl
2. Girl w/the Dragon Tatoo
3. Game of Thrones series
4. Count of Monte Cristo
