How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite animated movie. Did you watch it yet, Niquae?

[Shadow Jubilee]

Yes, I did. It was cute but I didn't care for the graphics. I liked the soundtrack better (purchased it on iTunes the first time I heard the music start playing). lol. I'm on the fence about whether to get my own copy of the DVD or not, just to re-watch it on a bored day.

I think after I return Enchanted, I will leave off borrowing DVD's. They only have a week loan period, and that is too short for me. It'd probably be cheaper for me to use iTunes rentals (damn late fines!). Tempted to subscribe to Netflix but I don't watch enough TV shows and movies to make it worthwhile.

I have on hold Sea of Monsters and the book following of the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. I also forgot to mention having Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead on hold. I think I'm 2/2.

I had no idea iTunes did movie rentals. How much do they charge? Netflix is a pretty good deal, I just renewed my subscription and I've been trying to get my money's worth.

[Alyssa]

- awesome haul, no?

[Rachel]

Defintely an awesome haul. I hope I can find some good things this evening when I go!

[Stephanie]

i went to the library yesterday with a list of 10 books to get, and came home with ONE!!!!!!!! i am on a waiting list for the rest, which is all my group reads for feb!!!

[Rachel]

Just got back from the library. Did pretty well this time around. I am really excited to read all of these!

[Sashana]

Now that, is an "awesome haul." Rachel I love Willow, it was one of my favorite books last year. And I just bought Across the Universe.

Erika wrote: "OoO...I LOVED Olive Kitteridge! I've seen Fever 1793 around quite a few times lately. I would be interested in knowing how that one goes as well."

Erika, I read Fever 1793 and really liked it. It's a fictional account of the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia in late summer 1793. It's told in the voice of a 14-year-old girl and is really poignant in its telling. Gives you a look at the medical practices of that time, and how young people had to grow up so quickly. It's a quick read.

Good to know you loved Olive Kitteridge. I tried it once before, but I was so turned off with Olive's character that I returned it unfinished. Someone mentioned it last month, so I decided to try it again.

[Nathalie]

I just borrowed Memoirs of a Geisha. The library where I'm stationed is pretty small, but I'll have to make due with what I have. :P

[Sashana]

I hope it's as good as the movie, Nathalie.

[Nathalie]

It's pretty good so far. The movie was actually pretty close to the book from what I remember seeing of it.

[Sashana]

Do you know if it's based on a true story? I know the title is 'Memoir..." but you just never know these days.

[Lisa S]

I got these the other day:

[Sashana]

I see what you're saying, Erika. If it's been happening constantly you should bring it up in the Feedback group.

[Nathalie]

According to the foreward, the author interviewed her, but didn't publish it until after her death, per her request. He also said that he translated it as more of a "memoir"-style story, so it might not be completely accurate. It's a good read, nevertheless.

That's really interesting. I thought the author was the person in the book.

I believe iTunes charges $2.99. You have a month to watch it. Once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish it. Not all the movies are available for rent but I assume that iTunes does have a pretty good selection.

[Lisarenee]

Alyssa, Let me know what you think of The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller. It was highly recommended by one of the managers at a Borders store I went to and I think I'm going to get it.

[BJ Rose]

Alice I have Been sounds really interesting. You'll have to tell me how it is.

[Rachel]

Will do!

I currently have these from the library:



I've had Harmless for a month, I may just take that one back with out reading it.

Just got

Inside My Head and Carrie Pillby

[Danielle]

I've most recently gotten out The Corrections from the Toronto Public Library; it's a behemoth and is taking me the better part of three weeks to get through. The book before that was Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior which I thought was well written, researched and argued. I'm trying to increase my non fiction this year!

[Sandy]

I just requested and Dark Moon by Steven Feasey

I enjoyed Glimerglass. I think it's the first Fae book I ever liked. I have a copy of The Forest of Hands and Teeth so if you decide to read it maybe we can do it together.

[Sashana]

Okay, let me know soon though. I have to read it by 2/19/11 for a challenge.

[Shadow Jubilee]

Borrowed today:

Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage by Jennifer Ashley
The last four of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

[Abby]

My checkouts are:
Twenties Girl by: Sophie Kinsella
Her Royal Spyness by: Rhys Bowen
Royal Flush by: Rhys Bowen
The Little Lady Agency by: Hester Browne

[Kellyflower]

and are ready for me to pick up on Monday.

*Erika & Sashana - a lot of people HATED The Forest of Hands and Teeth. I wasn't one of them. You will get very aggravated with the main character , but seriously keep reading. The second book is really good and I'm eagerly awaiting the third. Also there is a short story that helps you understand the cruelty of a secondary character in the book.
it's called Hare Moon in the anthology Kiss Me Deadly: 13 Tales of Paranormal Love

Paper Towns is a great, great book!! I loved it, I also read Looking for Alaska by John Green and it was good as well! I highly recommend it if you end up liking Paper Towns.

Thanks for the heads up, Kelly. I heard it's about zombies and I've never read about them before. If and when I do read the book it should be interesting.

Sure. I'm caught up in the Fever series so I don't know if I'll be able to get to it.

I checked out Sh*t My Dad Says a few days ago and it was, without a doubt, the funniest book that I've ever read.

[Liz]

I recently downloaded TIME MEDDLERS and INSIDE OUT from my library.

[Shadow Jubilee]

I borrowed The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan today.

[Nairabell]

I borrowed Beautiful Creatures and I Am Number Four, and requested Steppenwolf today.

[Sashana]

Nice haul, Nairabell. Is that your real name?

[Nairabell]

Nope - it's the nickname my little sister gave me as a kid :)

[Sashana]

It's a cool nickname. Odd...but cool nonetheless.

[Rachel]

I loved I Am Number Four and Beautiful Creatures. Definitely looking to add those to my collection one day. I Am Number Four is about to be a movie. Excited!!

[Nairabell]

The preview for I am Number Four is totally why I picked up the book. Okay the book doesn't have Timothy Olyphant, but it still looks cool :)

[Sashana]

The guy who's playing number 4 is a draw dropper. *dreamy stare*
