On second thoughts, I reckon this thread was a bad idea...now I'm being seriously tempted to go on a mad book spree on Amazon! I shall hold you all to blame :D

Support your local library and borrow some books for free :)

[Amanda]

I try to get 90% of my book from the library, but if it is a new release and it's a big hit, usually I just buy it instead of the waiting list at the library. I am 235th in line for , but I've heard it's just o.k., so I won't justify buying it. i'll wait the 6 months it'll take to get it.

Amanda I just finished Wicked Appetite on audio and it was just ok - no rush there.

That really stinks cause I loved Stephanie Plum. I wasn't fond of the Alex Barnaby series (motor mouth) so I had high hopes for Wicked Appetite.

It is still a fun light read, so worth it whenever it comes in. Plus it has the monkey (Carl)!

I just got and in the mail. Sadly, I'm only about half finished with so I have to wait. :(

Oh, a quick question for anyone who owns a Kindle. Can you read them in the dark? (Are they backlit?)

I prefer to read books in english instead of my language norwegian. The Libraries here dont really have books that interesst me in english, barely books that interesst me at all..Poor selections ;(

[Stephanie]

I've finally started getting into The Luxe novels by Anna Godbersen
You are cordially invited to step into high society and be inspired: http://theroamingmoon.blogspot.com/20...

[Hillary]

No ereader that I have seen is backlit. It's just like reading from a page of a book just minus the dead-tree in your hand. They make attachable lights just like the ones you can buy and clip on a book, but these dont get in the way.

I am just going to wait for paperback. I'm not in a super rush, I like Deisel but I had a feeling it wouldn't be as good as a Stephanie Plum book.

Oh, ..."

The Kindle isn't backlit, but you can buy a holder that comes with a built-in light. My Kindle cover is red leather with two connecting prongs that power the light using the Kindle's battery. Having the light is so cool! I love that it retracts into the cover when not in use. It's a little pricey ($59.-) but worth it!

I went to the library yesterday and got



The first one isn't YA, but I'm still excited to read it.

[Gwennie]

I finally got !

[RomanceNovelNews.com]

These YA books are on my reading list.

I've read the first one of that series which is quite funny. :) It's actually set very near me. Plus there are nursery rhyme characters :D

Wendy, hope you enjoy it :)

[Heidi]

Those nursery rhyme mysteries look cute. I added the first one :)

[Gwennie]

It'll be a while before I read it, but I'm pretty excited.

[Becca]

So excited!!! Just brought home Finnikin of the Rock from the library. If it's anywhere in the ballpark of Graceling I'm pretty much stoked.

[Tracy T.]

The Nursery Crimes books are great. I cannot wait until the next one in the series. Then again, in my mind, Jasper Fforde can do no wrong with anything he writes.

Wayyyyy better than Graceling, though they aren't along the same lines if that makes sense. World building is where the similarities stop.

Oh and be sure to check back in and let us know when you love it.

Becca, as someone who is still on my Finnikin high, I would have to agree with Peep that it's better than Graceling. (although I rated them both 5 star books)

[Becca]

Oh, you don't have to sell me on it. I wasn't expecting a Graceling story, just a five star story.

[Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun)]

Becca, after you read the book you can join our cause... (see Finnikin thread for more info)

I've never heard of that series *googles*

Borrowed:

It was 5 stars for me :)

[Gwennie]

Oh jeez!! I have to avoid the Finnikin thread at all costs until I've read the book!

Trying to force my way through the second North & South book.

so true!

[Rosabelle]

I go the following books for my birthday splurge.. even though i have tons and tons of unread book on my shelf, but i felt since it's my birthday and I got $25 voucher and 15% off discount all items, it should be okay :)

There aren't any spoilers, it's mainly just us all agreeing how good it is.

[Gwennie]

I actually couldn't help myself and went to look, lol. Reading about how much you guys love it makes me so much more eager to finally read it.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

*evil laugh* Next stop, world domination! (Apologies if I've used that line before).

So when are you going to start it??

[Gwennie]

As soon as I finish this book I'm reading now, except it's 1078 pages, lol. Probably by next weekend I'll have it started. That's my plan anyway.

[Jill]

is fantastic. I am half way through and can't stop reading!

[Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun)]

Peep our plan is working!! ;)

Doesn't the Frostbite cover look like the Buffy/Angel poster!

[Heidi]

Piper that is what I always think when I see it too!

[Gwennie]

It looks absolutely exactly like the Buffy Angel poster. So much so that I would say they copied it.

[Amanda]

My library stack this week is , , and which I read already, but I am going to read again.
I'll probably fly through I heart you, you haunt me, since it's written in prose and will go quick. I've heard really good things about The Knife of Never Letting Go so I am excited about getting into it.

[Heidi]

Yeah! Knife of Never Letting Go. It is very weird at the start, but stick with it!

you're right, piper, it does.. :)

[Evelyn]

I've been in the mood for something with werewolves in. :)

Today I checked out:
and (in English)

[Gwennie]

I just picked up , and . Except my copy of Enders Game looks like this, which kind of makes me nervous. GoodReads says it's the same book, it is the same author... but it looks so different. Not to mention that even though I know we're not to judge a book by it's cover, but the copy I got just doesn't look at all like a book I'd like...

[Tiphaine]

Wendy said : (...)but the copy I got just doesn't look at all like a book I'd like...
Ender's Game is Sci-fi so I think the cover of your book is actually more appropriate than the other! If you like a bit of Sci-fi, you will love this, it really is amazing!

I have around 20 books ready to be ordered on amazon but since I'm not home I can't buy them yet! Here's some of them:


I can't wait!

[Gwennie]

Honestly, I don't think I've ever read a Sci-Fi book before. I've read Fantasy but this seems different. Everyone was raving about it so I decided to pick it up. So far everyones opinions havent steered me too wrong...

[Becca]

Ender's Game isn't the Sci-Fi you think about when you think Sci-Fi. I see it more as a dystopian novel with a sci-fi twist.

[Becca]

And it is oh so good.

[Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun)]

Yes, I really liked Ender's Game... and the copy I got from the library was that same cover so don't be scared.
