Picked up Day One from the library last week, after a week of waiting to get it from another library. Got maybe forty to fifty pages in and realized that it was really not for me. Oh well. Usually I give it my all with one I get from another library.

[Nicole]

Oh teresa I completely understand too many books. You should see my list of returns ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Oh my goodness Teresa!!

My husband doesn't quite understand my reading habits so I try and keep it to 3 books at a time :o

[Maddie]

OMG too many books all the time. :o

I have

[Renee]

I just finished my first audiobook from the library via borrowbox. The hypnotists love story by Liane Moriaty. An Australian author. Loved it.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

@ Madison - love John Green. I read all his books this year

@ Renee - She is a fab author
.
Is one of my favourite books and I've had

on my kindle for a while and just haven't gotten to it yet!

[☆Joycedale☆]

Right now I have a samll group because I'm trying to knock out some books on my kindle
Earthbound
Last Breath
Looking for Alaska
Shadows
And on hold I have
Castaways on Long Ago
The Fault in Our Stars

[Nicole]

Ooh, what have you thought of Paper Towns so far?

[Storm]

This... This book... This is not a book. This is INSANITY in book form! I'm on page 105 right now, about half way through chapter three, and guess what? We finally get to the SUBJECT of chapter one! Who fell asleep on the job with this book?!?!?!

Yes it's a Biography, I get that, but you put that kind of title and cover on it and you get people like me thinking 'oh it's about the part of his life in Egypt, cool! None of the other stuff I'm not interested in!'

WRONG.

Not only do you get the Whoooooole life story, but it's so BADLY out of order and doesn't cover the topics in the FREAKING CHAPTER TITLES save for one line in passing in the case of chapter two, but you get parts of life stories about OTHER PEOPLE to one degree or another. I don't care this guy's Mom had to deal with the death of a Baby girl and her husband by the time he was 4, and later another son! I don't care about his 'cousin' losing her two of her own children, I CARE ABOUT WHAT THE BOOK IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT.

Nothing personal against the Dude, The writer the editor, the publisher or anyone else associated with this book but COME ON. If your gonna do something like this, DO. IT. RIGHT. Not this crazy mess! GAH! X.x; If it weren't for the 'One Million Pages' Challenge, I'd return this to the library right now. If your interested in Egypt or this particular person, look elsewhere and save your sanity.

[Ezi]

is my latest check, align with

[SheriC]

I laughed and bawled all the way through The Possibility Dogs: What a Handful of "Unadoptables" Taught Me About Service, Hope, and Healing so I had to get her other book Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search-and-Rescue Dog through interlibrary loan and it came in yesterday.

[Kristie]

I just picked up The Graveyard Book on audio and Welcome to the Jungle, which is my first graphic novel. (I read a couple comics as a kid, but not many and those were very different!) I went to look at The Dresden Files and they have a list of the correct reading order of all his books and this one was listed before Storm Front, so I thought I'd check it out. In the beginning of the book Jim Butcher says that he always saw The Dresden Files as a graphic novel and sees the panels in his mind while writing his books. I thought that was so interesting! I love those little tidbits. :)

[Kristie]

Christine - Let us know what you think about 2312. It looks really interesting, but has very mixed reviews. I'l love to hear your thoughts on it.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

That's pretty cool about Dresden, Kristie

Christine - ill be interested in your thoughts on Hedgehog. It is one of the few times where I've thought the movie was better than the book

[Lisa Kay]

Finally received . Saw the movie and loved it.

I deliberately did not check out the reviews before starting it. It was really hyped when it came out. I am about 100 pages in and like it so far, only 500 more to go *lol* It reminds me of a travelogue for island hopping but in this case they are planets :)

I did not know there was a movie, good to know now. I maybe will check it out. I am not much into movies though. :) It was on the display shelves at the library. I picked it up because the summary said something like "for book lovers & japan lovers" and it found its way magically fast in my bag :) I will let you know when I am finished ...

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I've never heard of that one LK

I just started for our BR and for a RL book club

[Jessica-Robyn]

I've got some real gems here! I mean, Book Girl and the Suicidal Mime?!



Really though, I'm looking forward to December so I can finally break my Let it Snow curse. Every year I plan to read Let it Snow for Christmas and every damn time the book disappears only to be found in January. For real, its been three years running! I will break the curse!

[Abigail]

I just finished Letters from Skye this morning. Excellent book. If you happen to spot this at your library I would recommend reading it, especially if you enjoy love stories.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

lol Jessica-Robyn! That is quite the title

I have Let it snow on my TBR - you have inspired me to read it this December! Harold Fry is a great book and Me, Earl and the Dying Girl is also on my TBR. I nominated it as the Jan YA BOM ; just have to wait and see if it gets voted in :)

[Jessica-Robyn]

Yay! I think seasonal reading is always the best and I'm really looking forward to reading everything I've picked up from this trip. I'm hoping that these books will help me get out of this inexplicable reading slump I've been in.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

urgh the dreaded reading slump

I agree that the holiday season can help with that as you're in the 'mood' for certain reads :)

[Christine]

I have finished Hedgehog a few days ago and liked it. The final part was a bit dragging though. I can see why it would work out well as a movie.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

If you have a lazy day I would recommend the movie Christine. It does flow better!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Today I am picking up

for our buddy read next week and also

which is coming up as a BOM.

I then have to go to a different library who seem to have

available. They charge $1.50 to reserve books (so no-one ever does!) so I am going to race over there at opening time and hope I beat everyone else ;)

[Kristie]

I just finished Welcome to the Jungle and The Graveyard Book and I'm finishing The Twelve this weekend. I need to return them on Monday.

I have The Princess Bride and Neverwhere waiting for me to pick up when I get there. :)

[Anima]

Keep my fingers crossed for the success in the race, Karen :)

[[deleted user]]

Picked up and

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Nice work Kristie!

Yep. I got it Anima. :D Now I just need to fit it in somehow.

Nancy - is that a re-read of HP for you or first time?

[☆Joycedale☆]

I have Hurt Shatter Me Unravel Me The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure checked out and on hold I have The Maze Runner and Forgotten

[Christine]

checked out I am so excited for this :) I hope the story between Hawke and Sienna is as good or better than I expect it to be.

[Anima]

Congrats, Karen, I do understand the trouble with fitting books, I have my mid-term exams and a pile of books waiting and tempting me LOL.

Karen- It's a re-read for me.

[Kristie]

I never re-read books, but I'm seriously considering re-reading the HP series. It was such a fun series.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

same here Kristie. Maybe I'll do that as a challenge for myself next year

Joycedale - have you read much James Dashner before? I'm interested in Mazerunner and just haven't gotten there

[☆Joycedale☆]

I have read anything by him yet

[Nicole]

Christine, Nalini is historically quite hard to find in Aus, but you've definitely got me interested!

[Jim]

Good evening,

I have the following books checked out of the library:
Chronicles of the Black Company; Lord of the Flies; 1Q84; and The Black Prism. Other books I have requested and are waiting to be picked up are: Where the Sidewalk Ends; Anne of Green Gables: Three Volumes in One; and Slaughterhouse-Five. On hold, as the 17th of 17 holds: I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

Jim Townsend

[Sarah]

- an audio download

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

The Book of Lost Things

[Sarah]

I have on hold for more audios is , , and

[Christine]

[Kristie]

I currently have:

[Nicole]

I have Daughters of Smoke and Bone, Allegiant, and The City and the City right now.

Just returned Kate Daniels, Magic Slays.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I have Stiff on audio too Sarah. Hopefully it is ok (I haven't started it yet). I wonder if Tina Fey narrates her own book? That would make it better I think as I found it fell a bit flat (and I am a big fan)

I just started

on audio which is a popular book here and has won lots of awards and I have had a few friends recommend it. So far it reminds me a lot of Melina Marchetta's style of writing. It is strange going back to an Austraian narration after listening to so many American ones recently I must say!

I also just started which is the last in the trilogy and I'm already sucked in after just a few chapters!

[Nicole]

Karen, I'll definitely try to read that then, after I finish Jellicoe Way (after I start it...) I love Melina's writing.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

@Nicole
I nominated Finnikin of the Rock for the March BOM because I'm interested to see her write in a different genre. If it doesn't win I'll be getting it from the library on audio soon :)
