[Sarah]

For ebooks - and . I am maxed out at my 10 holds.

Karen wrote: "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..."

I've heard that she narrates the audio version of Bossypants herself and it is really good.

I'm hoping to read that one soon too. I got it for Christmas. :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

@Sarah - I think her narration of that book would make it awesome. Enjoy!

@Kristie & Nicole - ok let's make a pact that if Finnikjn of the Rock doesn't win BOM we will do a BR :)

@Nicole - yes! P.Gregory is on for mid march. Link is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sounds good. I'll probably be reading it towards the end of March because I have so many obligations, but this will push me to actually do it. :)

[Rebecca]

Just checked out and devoured , which I guess it Dystopia, but that's not focused on at all in the book so I really loved it.

[Nicole]

End of March for me too on Finnikin. I'm doing that thing where I'm overextending myself, and I'm already prepared for Widacre to be a long one.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Ah. I'll eventually get to that one RebeccaS!

Kristie & Nicole - Yes end of March works. I'll wait until the poll closes for BOM just in case it wins before setting up a thread

[Sarah]

Got on audio from my library downloads

I'm overextended again too. I do it all the time. I keep telling myself that I won't do that, but then all the books look so good!

Sounds good, Karen!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I'm interested in that Rth Ozeki book too!

I have

due to a great review in the paper and I love debut novels that are able to get some press


devouring it just like I did the first book


for our BOM


Love this guy. although this is the large print edition so the book looks very intimidating! I'm hoping to atleast start it before it is due back ;)

[Kristie]

I just got . is in transit, so I should be able to pick it up this week. I am still waiting on and . I'm really looking forward to finishing up the Legend trilogy. I've really enjoyed it so far.

[Nicole]

Hammered and Days of Blood and Satrlight are on my "I'm excited!!!" lists as well ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I picked up

on audio which I am loving. WWI occupied France is one of my favourite settings for Historical Fiction

and as paperbacks I got

which will be by second ever Stephen King assuming I don't get scared and stop reading it... haha

for an upcoming BOM I picked up

which I am quite looking forward to. It seems to be a while (atleast a month!) since I read dystopian YA ;)

and for an upcoming buddy read I got

which I have wanted to read for a very long time. So super excited about that one

oh and I checked out the ebook of

for our upcoming BOM which I can't use on my kindle (boo!) and none of my libraries stock a paperback version. Not sure if other Australian's are finding that too? My libraries only have it as an ebook via Overdrive

[Kristie]

Karen - Glad you are enjoying the audio version of The Girl You Left Behind. I may check that out.

Joyland isn't really scary. It's more of a coming of age story with some paranormal parts.

I'm looking forward to Tell the Wolves I'm Home too and I can't wait for Orphan Train. I have no idea where I'm going to find the time to get to all of these books!

Currently, from the library I have:
on audio. I like it because I was already so invested in the story, yet I don't think this one is as good as the first two. It is a bit repetitive for my taste.

on audio next.

and the paperback version of:

[Nicole]

Just a small library borrow for me this month, with Kevin Hearne's Tricked.

I had the rest of the books I wanted to read at home ;)

[Kristie]

I've been listening to those on audio. My library only had the first three available though, so I had to get that one on Audible.

[Sarah]

Via Overdrive I am listening to . Also my other audio checkouts are , , and . On hold I have .

On the ebooks I am finishing up , due back tomorrow, and my hold on just came in.

[Nicole]

Kristie, do you happen to know who does the reading for Kevin Hearne's books? I know it's James Marsters who does Dreden, and that is amazing!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

@Kristie

The narrator for The Girl You Left Behind is very good. Just starting chapter 15 now so a few chapters in to modern times and I'm still enjoying it. I read some reviews that didn't like the change in POV, but I think the characters are just as interesting

Joyland is pretty thin so I'm hopeful I can get to it before I need to return it

Shame about Champion. I need to buy it on my Kindle, but it may not be until May that I can get to it

@Sarah
Interesting mix of books! You'll have to let us know if there are any stand outs

[Kristie]

Nicole - It is Luke Daniels. He does a great job narrating. :)

Karen - Champion is still good, it's just that the themes repeat from the other books and thins are restated frequently. For example (view spoiler)[ We all know that Day doesn't want to lose his brother, yet it seems we are told a version of that every time his brother is in the story. Same thing with his feelings for June. (hide spoiler)] (Spoiler is for anyone that has not read book 2 in the series.) I'm still glad I'm reading it though.

[Renee]

My latest request was the latest Jojo Moyes book The One Plus One. I enjoyed it, but not quite as much as some of her other books.
@Karen, I loved The Girl You Left Behind and also read the prequelHoneymoon in Paris. I think you might like The Last Letter from Your Lover too.

[Beth]

I reserved Anansi Boys yesterday. I hope it comes in by the time the book of the month discussion starts.I just checked out The Baron in the Trees. Calvino is a new author for me; I found the book on this list.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Ah thanks Kristie. Yes I can imagine what you mean - some series books get caught up in too many re-caps

Thanks Renee ; I can get all her books on audio, so I will get to another one in a few weeks. I have One Foot in the Grave now, and then Anansi Boys. So maybe in 2 weeks I can get to another one :)

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

My latest library request were Celebrity in Death by JD Robb and Written in Red by Anne Bishop.

[Renee]

I've asked for Dreams of Gods and Monsters...Hope they will buy it for me, not sure how long it will take though. They have the first two books on the shelf, so surely they will want to complete the set.

[Kristie]

I currently have out:
which I just finished and loved.
which I just started.
which I probably won't have time to read again! This is the second time I have taken it out and everything has gotten very busy. Hopefully, I can renew it and have time to read it. We'll see...

[Sarah]

Just came in - and . On audio have been listening to . Waiting for and

[Krissie]

Just finished and , both of which will be returned on Thursday.

On hold: (obviously I've checked out the entire series...)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Oh I hope you can get to it this time Kristie! ;)

Sarah - I imagine you will absolutely love The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. It is one of my all-time favourites. I have the hard cover copy and lend it to everyone! Wool Omnibus is a good read too, although I enjoyed part 1 the most.

Wow kay - you are keen for that series then! I couldn't get past book 1 as I found it just too much of a Harry Potter copy, but I'm not the majority. Lots of people love it!

[Nicole]

Hunting Ground - Patricia Briggs
Trapped - Kevin Hearne
Deathless - Cathrynne Valente

Putting this list down here so I don't forget how much I want to read Deathless.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Got my reserves in...

upcoming June BOM
upcoming June BOM

[Sarah]

Checkouts - in ebooks

[Nicole]

Ooh, I didn't realise Gospel of Loki was this months BOM. I'll have to move it up in my reading list.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Nice mix there Sarah. I'm glad The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks has come in for you!

And don't forget Midnight Crossroad Nichole - It is a Manfred series!!

[Nicole]

Ah I'm not such a fan of Charlaine these days.

I don't suppose you know which Gaiman book we are reading this month, and where the thread is?

[Christine]

audiobooks

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

@Nichole

Oh, how come?

Yes, reading Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders which I'm almost half way, but giving myself a break for a few days. That many Gaiman short stories is a little exhausting..lol
The thread is here

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

@Christine

84, Charing Cross Road has been recommended to me, I'd love to know what you think

[Nicole]

Christine, you'll love Bitten.

I dunno, Karen, I think I've just gone off the paranormal genre. And I don't find she writes it as well as others anyway.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I understand. I really liked Manfred's character which is why I'm interested in the book (and no more incest with any luck!!)

[Nicole]

Hopefully!!

[Lisa Kay]

I recently read 84, Charing Cross Road and really enjoyed it. Full of witty remarks.

[Nicole]

Beautiful Creatures and The Gospel of Loki today for me.
