Interesting books, Mikki!

I just bought The Orchid House to replace The Windup Girl for my Thailand choice.

Both of those look good. I'm still leaning toward Sightseeing for Thailand, but my mind seems to be all over the place these days so I just might read one of your selections!

A friend of mine here on goodreads told me that The Orchid House is a really good book :) I should start it soon since I got it from NetGalley.

[Mikki]

Good to know, Kimberly, Thank you!

Shaghayeb, I'll be interested in what you think. I am only getting around to reading Marques, Chronicle of a Death Foretold after years of holding off and I'm loving him!

[Susan]

That's on my reread list for this year. I think I might do it in audio format. I know I loved it years ago, but I need a refresher on it.

Several years ago I read a book called Falcon that is set in Thailand and is based on a true character. The book stuck with me for more than 15 years. I learned so much and it was fairly well written. (Just in case Mikki is still looking for a book for Thailand.) I read sightseeing and really enjoyed some of the stories but others not so much. I think I wanted a more romantic Thailand than the gritty one shown in Sightseeing.

I've gotten a bunch recently ( I had an amazon gift card to use up) ...but I can't remember a lot of them. However a bunch came from Pragya's blog where she had them listed.

WOW, that's really saying something for a book to make such an impression. Thanks, Shannon, I'll add this and be sure to let you know when I begin reading.

It depends on some of them :)

[Autumn]

Most of the ones I've gotten from them have covers :) If they don't I search the web and add them to Goodreads if I find them.

What's Value Village? A chain bookstore?

[Shannon]

Robin wrote: "At the end of February I bought all of these

Room is quite different than the rest in that lot but it was one of the best books that I have read in a very long time.

I just bought and as the series is quite addictive and I had only bought last week.

[Shannon]

Value Village is a thirft store chain :)

[Mikki]

Ahhh, thank you. We must not have them in NYC. Sounds like a great place for scoring deals!

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

LOL there is a funny story behind that large shopping spree. I was in the Goodwill just killing some time and I saw . I had it in my hands and decided I wanted another book instead so put it back. A few days later, it was nominated as BOM in another group. DRATS!!! I should've got it. So I went back to the Goodwill looking for and it was gone. So some how I ended up with all those other ones and had to get it some where else a few days later LOL

LOL TY Mikki!!! I figured since it was a "NEED" I couldn't get fussed at LOL

Judy wrote: "You should be feeling great in no time, Robin, with that haul! :-)"

The sad part is, I haven't had a chance to read any of them except for a BOM and I am currently reading as a BR with Kimberly and another friend. I am trying to clean up my kindle because it is overloaded with 2633 books lol Nawwwwww.....I'm not addicted to books : )
