I've hears that Mr. Mercedes is more mystery (or mystery/thriller) than horror. I'll let you know as I make my way through it.
Just checked out Midnight Crossroads

I get most of them for one month, and I can renew for two weeks two times. I've been busy so hopefully I can finish most of these in time or I'd have to return it then wait again to read it -_-
I had put both Divergent and Insurgent on hold but Insurgent came in before Divergent. I'm wondering if I should start reading Insurgent or wait until I get my hands on Divergent.
Will start reading Gospels of Loki today. Heard of this book on this page & lots of people mentioned it so bought it. Can anyone let me know some good books of 2014 especially Horror genre.
@Vanessa, better to read Divergent first so that u can understand Insurgent. Be aware the pace changes between these two.
Currently I borrowed five books from my local ebook library:Linger by Maggie Steifvater
Glass Houses by Rachel Caine
Paper Towns by John Green
THe Iron King by Julie Kagawa
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
Mod
which is like a comic book good v evil wild ride
and
which is a fabulous YA dystopian novel. The world building is a mix between Hunger Games, Wool and Across The Universe, but still completely unique
I have out
and I am waiting on
. It is in transit. Hopefully, it will come in before the weekend!
Slowly reading and listening to
and waiting on
to arrive.
My latest library request was Big Little Lies, I was the first to read that copy.Today I went to get the kids some books (I have too many on my to read pile, so I wasn't getting any) and then I saw The Rosie Effect just sitting on the shelf, and Love, Rosie sitting next to it and I couldn't help myself!
Looking forward to grabbing Shadow and Bone from the library this weekend.
My Overdrive checkouts are

Mod
I got notification today that

which I was approved for the arc from Netgalley, but I didn't download it fast enough and it was archived. grrrr. So I had to request it from the library so I can review it and get it off my netgalley reading list ;)
I'm also trying to finish
and
which are due back at the end of next week
Hey excellent Karen! Did you want to create a thread for it?
Mod
Sure! when suits you to start?
I'm trying to finish

I'm hoping I get it on Saturday morning. If it's not here it won't be until next Tuesday, my library is closed on Monday, Thursday and Saturday afternoon, and of course Sunday. :(
I just checked out
Well how about we pick Wednesday for buddy read start date. Give us all lots of time.

I love my library. So many things to read, not enough time. . .Current checkouts as of yesterday:
Both of these are brand-new, never-been-cracked hardbacks and both are second in their respective series. Loved the first books in both series - really excited for these!
I just picked up the audio of
for the buddy read. I'm hoping I have time to join. I also got
. I was the 30th hold, so I didn't bother suspending it. I figured I wouldn't get it until after Christmas, but it was there when I went to pic up HP. I don't know if I'll actually have a chance to read it right now, but we'll see.
Holy moly, Sarah! lol Are those all of your upcoming buddy reads?
Yesterday I checked out:
On request I have:
@Eden Creed: I read Me Before You last year, let me know what you think when you get it. I liked it!I checked out:

Mod

And great choice with A Woman in White. I've been meaning to read that book forever now and never get the chance to do it.
Eden Creed wrote: "And great choice with A Woman in White. I've been meaning to read that book forever now and never get the chance to do it."Definitely pick it up! I couldn't stop reading it. A great novel, a bit predictable but still enjoyable.
I have The Silver Blade, My Life as a White Trash Zombie right now.On order, I have City of Savages, The Girl on the Train, Prodigy, Champion, and The Innocent Sleep.
I just checked out I Was Here by Gayle Forman & The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey! I finished I Was Here and now I'm reading the 5th Wave! Loving both so far!
I got Gabriel's Inferno and I'm enjoying it at some points during it. At others Gabriel's jealousy is pissing me off.
Sarah - I'm planning to read One Plus One and The Girl on the Train in the next month or so. What did you think of them?
Only read Girl on Train - couldn't put it down. I thought it was good, way better than Gone Girl for me, which people compare it too.
