Sashana, you must tell me what you think about Bloodlines and The Fault in Our Stars.

Will do, Laura. I have high expectations for both books so hopefully I'll like them.

Just grabbed Room and Matched from the library today. Now, do I read the BOM that's finishing or start the next BOM early?

Finally made it to the library to pick up . Too bad I fail sice I was supposed to be doing the buddy read. Oops.

[Jessica-Robyn]

I just went to the library for the first time in over a month. I've been so busy with school reading even the tinest bit was completely off the table. But I have returned! triumphant!

Check Out:


All of these books have been on my to-read list for months now. I'm so excited to finally do some reading! The only question is... where should I start?

[Barb]

A lot of my hold requests have come in for me in the past few days. Today I picked up:

                       

I've got to prioritize and figure out which ones I'm really likely to read in the next two weeks!

[Jessica-Robyn]

Tori, I hope you enjoy The Book Thief. I'm been meaning to read that book for years. :)

And Barb, what an incredibly haul! I'm adding Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore and The End of Your Life Book Club to my list right now.

[Barb]

I'm really enjoying Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, and I have to read The Pawn for this month's F2F book club. I've not heard many *good reviews of The Casual Vacancy, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Jessica-Robyn, I highly recommend The Book Thief. I read it several years ago and parts of it still come back to me now and then.

I've got The Casual Vacancy on hold right now and your right I've seen a lot of mixed reviews, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what it's like.

The Book Thief is one of those titles that I know it's going to be good, I know I'm going to enjoy it, but it's been sitting on my list for so long that I'm just avoiding it now because of my expectations. However, it is going to get read... in 2013.

[Sashana]

I checked out The Casual Vacancy but I'm not in the mood to read it yet. Will try to tackle it this weekend though.

Yep, I've got to at least read a bit of it to see for myself. I've loved books that others have hated, and vice versa, so who knows? LOL

[Jex]

Just picked up . Can't wait to read it!

My library pickups this week were:

I had to come back and let you know that I really liked this one! I very rarely give 5-star ratings to a book, but this one came very, very close :) Lots of quirky characters, a bit of a mystery (but not in the traditional sense), a secret society -- and all of it centering on books!

I had no idea the options in your library were so poor. I take it for granted that I can get almost any book I want from my local library.

These are the books that I have checked out from my local library to read:

really, really poor options. If we want to read a book, 90% of the times either we buy it or we borrow it. I've started to read in English instead of Portuguese because of that. As much I want to contribute to national economy or to the book industry, the truth is that it is cheaper to buy it online than from the bookstore.
For example, fifty shades of grey - I picked this one, because the hype finally arrived to Portugal, costs, special price, 15.93€, while on bookdepository, it costs 8.48 - ok, so it has to have some difference due to the translation costs... but bookdepository doesn't have delivery costs... so the price of the book has to include them...

So, no good library options and high priced books, it's a miracle that some people still develop reading habits this days.

You have to be commended for your dedication as a young person. Actually, it is the young people, historically, who actually bring lasting changes in society when needed.

It would be so nice if people here in the USA knew what others go through to be able to read what they want in their language since many don't appreciate libraries and take so much for granted.

I am glad you are here in Goodreads and can share with other who also love to read.

I'm still waiting for to become available for me to check out!

Great selection! I've heard a lot of great things about Tiger Lily. Have you read the original Peter Pan? I've been putting it off till I can get around to both of them.

[Cathie]

Hey Jessica-Robyn :-). No I have not read the original Peter Pan story but have read many derivatives of it; that's a great idea to read the original alongside Tiger Lily!

[Jessica-Robyn]

Of all the retellings I haven't seen a lot about Peter Pan, which has me excited to check them all out. Do you have any favourite derivatives of the story?

[Cathie]

The Peter series by Dave Barry~ Peter and the Starcatchers. Meh.

I need to check out the orginal.

I'd really also like to read

The Child Thief

[Jessica-Robyn]

Thank you so much Cathie! I'm totally looking forward to checking it out! :D

[[deleted user]]

I recently checked out .

[Cathie]

No problem Jessica-Robyn :-). If you want to buddy read The Child Thief anytime later on in the year (after this month), let me know. (I have a lot of books to get through right now, lol).

[[deleted user]]

I've checked out this week hopefully I shall get around to reading it some time this week, it's by one of my favourite authors I can't wait.

[Storm]

My latest Request from the Library was Dresden Files, - Welcome to the Jungle (part of a pre-series evernts thing) and Storm Front, Book one in the series, both by Jim Butcher. One has come in already, just waiting on the other now.

[Cathie]

I read Storm Front and really really enjoyed it :-). I think I loves Harry Dresden :-)

I know right? Jim really does an amazing job with the Dresden-verse :D

[Desperado]

I went a little crazy at the library last week. My intention was to pick up the books I had on hold but my mind screamed "BOOKS!" and I couldn't resist.

Got these:

[Cathie]

I just got :-). So very happy.

[Barb]

Can't wait to hear what you think. It is so popular!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I don't have too many books scheduled this month, so I picked up
and
from the library today. Just have to finish before I get stuck into them!

[Sarah]

I have and I need to get it read but I am reading too much other stuff right now.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I like the look of Quiet, but I think it may be the type of book I'd prefer on audio. I'll be interested in your thoughts Sarah!

[Storm]

Latest Checkouts Are , and . Already read 'Welcome to the Jungle', now to read the other two! :o
