Two of those are actually in transit, so I should be getting those soon =)

[Aimie]

I'm a huge Outlander fan and having read them all over and over again, I decided to finally jump the boat and try to read some Lord John and borrowing this > < even though after reading An Echo in the Bone, I can't stand the guy. LOL.

[Jessica-Robyn]

Never has a walk to the library been so painful, the heat is so muggy it is just ridiculous!
Check Out:

[Sashana]

I hope the walk was worth it, Jessica. Happy readings.

How are you liking the Wicked Series?
I loved the writing of the first book but at the time I tried to read it I was too young to really get into the story and had to stop half way through. Thinking of picking it back up but I haven't heard much about the other books in the series!

[Shay]

I didn't like the Wicked series. Although, I only read the first book. I thought it was boring and overly long. I don't like the books it's based upon either, so maybe that's part of the problem.

[BJ Rose]

Just back from vacation, so haven't read any library books lately, but have now requested the following:
- - - -

[Jennifer]

I currently have out: Deadly Little Secret, Torment: a Fallen Novel, Backseat Saints, Some Girls Are, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Willow, Celtic Traditions, Divine by Mistake, and Old Magick.



Requested I have: Beautiful Darkness, North of Beautiful, and Earth Power: Techniques of Natural Magic.

[Sashana]

Jennifer, you have very awesome taste in books. North of Beautiful and Willow were both great IMO. The Summer I Turned Pretty was also good. I think I would read every single book you requested if given the chance.

[Jennifer]

I don't think I'm ever going to get through my to-read list. I keep finding books but I'm limited to what is at the library, which isn't many of them. If I could use PayPal on Amazon (I have a Kindle) I'd be able to find more of the books. I am in love with this site! I even created my son an account on here today to start keeping track of his books :) I can't wait for libraries to be able to use Kindles.

Right now I have out:

Wicked is the best book of the series. Son of a witch and Lion among men are just boring. I would suggest you try to read wicked again. It is an amazing book but I would skip the other two because they aren´t really anything special.

[Dani]

I currently have checked out

I currently added to my stack of library books

[Jessica-Robyn]

Thanks Danielle, I'll definitely keep that in mind! It is great to get the warning ahead of time, I always wondered why Wicked got so much attention instead of the series overall.
I will have to go back though and find Wicked when I have the time!

[Dani]

Your welcome!!! People had told me also not to read them but I did then I realized why they told me not to bother with them.

Ooh- I've been waiting a while for Divergent- and I still am! I've also heard alot about Blood Red Road. Have fun reading those!

I don't think many people on Goodreads will finish their TBR. Sad but true, it's just so nice to keep adding more and more books. Nothing wrong with lots of options to choose from though.

I LOVE Juliet- It is one of my favorites! Have you started it yet?

[Dani]

Erin wrote: "Danielle wrote: "i currently have from the library [bookcover:..."

Yeah I already finished it. I loved it too!! I loved the twist on romeo and juliet that Anne Fortier spun on it.

[Aneeqah]

Danielle wrote: "Erin wrote: "Danielle wrote: "i currently have from the library [bookcover:Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy|1163885..."

Have you read Pretty Little Liars yet? That one is on my TBR. And, I'll check out Juliet, it seems good! =)

[Jennifer]

I LOVED Incarceron! It's a bit beginning at first, but you have to bear with it. Have fun with it! =)

[BJ Rose]

Enjoy that gift card, Jennifer!!

Reading 'Pluto' right now and enjoying it - it's written by an astronomer who was actually looking for a 10th planet.

[Sashana]

@BJ Rose: I'm reading Across the Universe and I can't seem to get into it. Let me know what you think you about it.

[Dani]

I have also read that one already. Pretty little liars jumps around from each girl so it can get a little confusing but i really enjoyed it and now i have the second book in the series on my tbr list.

Will do that, Sashana - are you also reading it for a group BOM?

A friend gave me Across the Universe. I've heard lots of mixed reviews about it so far. Have you started it yet, BJ Rose?

We aren't but you're more than welcome to nominate it in the YA category.

[BJ Rose]

@ Sashana & Aneeqah - I'm about halfway through Across the Universe and I'm afraid the jury is still out. I'm not the greatest fan of 1st-person books, but this alternates between 1st-person telling by the two major characters, which was a little confusing at first but works well (one chapter is told by Amy, the next by Elder,etc). That said, tho, it just hasn't really grabbed me - maybe that will still come. She took a long time setting up the world of the spaceship, and things are starting to happen.

[Sashana]

Thanks for the update, BJ Rose. Believe it or not I'm still on page 20. Kudos to you for getting this far and still going.

Thanks for the updates you two! I think I will still try it. Maybe we should do it as a Buddy Read, so we all can have support to read it! :D Good luck you two, and keep us updated!

[Sashana]

I'd be down for a buddy read. I think I'd be more motivated to finish.

[Aneeqah]

I'll post it on the Read it With Me topic, and see if anybody would like to read it with us! =) When do you think we should start?

[Sashana]

Okay. I think I'd be able to start by Tuesday. How about you?

[BJ Rose]

Finished Across the Universe and it did get better, altho it doesn't rank up there with favorite sci-fi reads. It's her debut book (I think), so if she continues the series, it should just get better. I ended up giving it 3* even tho some things really bothered me. I read the reviews after I finished it, and many people really loved it, so enjoy your read, Aneeqah & Sashana! Would love to know what you think of it!!

Thank you for your thoughts! The reviews that I've read are saying it's an absolutely terrible book, but from the synopsis and what you are saying, it doesn't seem terrible! I will defiantly let you know what I think!

Sashana wrote: "Okay. I think I'd be able to start by Tuesday. How about you?"

Sure, I'm fine with that! Do you mind setting up a discussion thread for us?

[Sashana]

No prob. I'll set it up later and PM you the link.

[Jessica-Robyn]

I am on such a graphic novel binge and this library haul only sort of proves that.


I'm so excited to be finally completely read the Scott Pilgrim series!
While browsing I also came across Essex County which is another graphic novel that I've never seen before but it has this very unique art style and a seriously amazing cover.

[Aneeqah]

I actually haven't tried graphic novels yet. I might, though.

Checked out (for me):




On-Hold:

[Jessica-Robyn]

Graphic novel wise, there are a lot of really great ones out there, but it's all about choosing a genre and art style you find appealing. Or as I do, randomly picking up anything within arms reach that looks pretty. :D I definitely recommend the medium.

[BJ Rose]

Just picked up - - -
Nothing like a wild variety!

I have 94 books out. But the ones I'm reading or most looking forward to reading are:


I actually own a copy of Mary Queen of Scotland, but it's my mother's copy. (Who's passed away) So, I borrowed it from the library so my copy doesn't get destroyed by the children.
