Congrats on your science results Jessica, I bet the others are fine too:)

Thanks for the recs Jessica. The Book Thief is one that keeps getting brought up as a good read, but I've had trouble getting my hands on it. I'll work on that! :)

And congrats on your results!

[★ Jess]

Thanks everyone :)

Cheryl, have you ever read Georgette Heyer? Most libraries have some of her titles. And for adventure the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. Humour - Gerald Durrell. Adventure-romance, Mary Stewart.

But I'm an old thing and not up with the latest reads. Maybe you could write down some of the titles on the shelves at the library then check out what the Goodreads readers say about them? Or what the Amazon reviews are like.

Good luck and happy reading.

Thanks Carmel and Monya.

Monya, because of the limited availability at my library I generally try to make a list of books I want based on recs and then check their online catalogue to see if they carry them (or if they are in) before I go. Just makes it easier on me. They may have a limited selection but the library is new and has up to date technology which I am delighted with. If the books I want are checked out when I want them I can place an online reservation for them and be notified by email when they come in. Works great for me if I can just make myself practice a little patience. :)

[★ Jess]

I loaded the GR app onto my phone now :) I love this phone so much...

Oh, and went into the city today after school with some friends. Lots of fun...but got told off for loitering by the police :0 XD

[Neko]

Jess, ever get followed by police or staff before when going into a shop or mall? Had that happen with my friends years ago now..was really annoying.

[★ Jess]

It's a black phone Michael :)
Also, I'd like to say we werent loitering. We were lining up for boost juice. But the silly police got it wrong. Then they stated watching us for ages. They weren't even nice about it. Pretty sure they enjoyed telling us off. It was pretty funny though :P

[Neko]

They were prolly bored and needed something to do..lol

[Michael]

[Neko]

I'm waiting on the newest Windows Phone before I even think about updating.
