I currently have checked out from my library:ebook:
audio:
I have a lot of reading/listening to do! I have only finished Nick and Nora so far and have Shadow Souls in progress. I also have some others in progress in paper and ebook but may still try to listen to Spiderwick soon since they are short.
I swept my library of some awesome great books:
(which is quite the mouthful to say, and not nearly as childish as you'd first think!)
I also just bought
and (
! Lots to keep me busy!
Another book on my pre-order list: Persuasion: An Annotated Edition! Excited for it to come out, but it'll be several months yet. Also, just found out I won a copy of the book Wickham's Diary from one of the Austen blogs - Yay!!

The Bronze Horseman and loving it. Although this is not a YA book it does showcase a Russian girl growing up during the outbreak of WW2. I started it on Saturday night basically couldn't put it down. About 3/4's of the way through it right now. I've really been hitting about every emotion throughout the book: anger, sadness, joy, fear, etc..
It seems like no matter what group I am in, someone is talking about this book. I'm going to have to eventually read it, since I bought it.
I picked up
at Barnes and Noble this morning and am about 50 pages in. Not sure how I feel about it just yet!
That sounds great! I don't have the sequel yet, but I have the first one. That's where I first heard about it was in my Outlander group. It would be fun to read it together. Can you let me know when you have it?
Wow, apparently I need to go to the library because I have 7 books waiting on me to pick them up!
I've been on the list for Matched since January.
I also got
for Kindle
Just picked up my reservations for
and also went ahead and bought
. I didn't know why I thought it would be thicker but I was surprised to find that Saving Francesca was a short book. :p
I just got
and
for Kindle And I'm very impatiently waiting for
and
in the mail, I was expecting them Friday or Saturday :(
Hanging out with a friend today, and went to B&N again... I behaved and only bought ONE book this go 'round since I got so many the other day... Had been looking for
, and they had it... so I grabbed it! LOL
Heidi (the original) wrote: "Where She Went and Saving Francesca are both great. I also liked My Fair Godmother."I need to read Where She Went! But I'm still #14 on the library wait list.
I finally bought
, after months of coveting! They all need rereading :)Also checked out
from the library - haven't really heard of any of them, so should be interesting!

Yowza Kristina! Doesn't it drive you nuts having that many books waiting for you to read? I would go insane because I would want to read them all!
Heidi (the original) wrote: "Yowza Kristina! Doesn't it drive you nuts having that many books waiting for you to read? I would go insane because I would want to read them all!"Yes it does but in a way it makes me happy haha! I have been having some family problems lately and I've been sitting on The Titan's Curse for about a week but the last couple days things have been better and I think I've been getting all these books because I'm so relieved lol!
