Just picked up from the library …

Went to the second hand bookstore and found a number of titles I liked, but I'm conserving space so I hauled in only 2 books (dirt cheap):

and

Finding A Northern Light in the bin was like a miracle... I'm currently reading Jennifer Donnelly's newest book Revolution and I badly wanted to read her earlier award-winning work. I didn't find a copy in the local bookstores. And then reached into the bin and there it was in my hand :)

Carmel, I have a book shelf FULL of books I still have to read. My problem is this, I enjoy buying the books(rarely at full price) as mush as I enjoy actually reading them and it has kinda gotten away from me,lol

[Lori]

Carmel,I know what you mean.I haven't had a lot of reading time this month either. I have been too busy sewing Christmas gifts so I can make sure they make to the proper houses in time for Chrismtas. I am thinking I will take a break this weekend to try and finish Clockwork Angel which I started weeks ago,lol

[[deleted user]]

[Lori]

Louise I amactually in the Christmas spirit. I have the movies on while working away at the gifts, lol.I am Crazy I know but I also know this is probably the last year for my boys to still "believe" so I am not wasting a moment of it.

Good to hear, Carmel! I loved Nineteen Minutes and this one sounded really good as well so I jumped on it :) I'll be excited to read that one.

Well Lori, I hope you manage the time to read such a terrific book..."

I got a small bit of time for reading(clockwork Angel) and enjoyed another few pages. Didn't want to put it down to eat,lol I ended up sewing anyways, almost finished though.

Term has finally finished at university- so the first thing I did was head over to the newly-refurbished library and got out a lovely stack of NON-academic books! Virtually skipped home with:

[Amanda]

I went to half-priced books and it was the first time I left empty handed. I was sorely dissappointed, the shelves were swiped pretty clean. I think a lot of people are getting used books for christmas ; ) I hope it's me!!!!!!!

[Alyssa]

Lots and lots of books this time around!!!
(it was a gift, but I'm still considering if I should read it) , a ton of James Patterson (as in 6) and . I also won from a blog contest! And just ordered, to come in the mail on the 7th, and

I love the Alanna series! They're definitely my favourite Tamora Pierce books. Hope you enjoy 'em Heidi.

[Arphaxad]

Also, I just raided the library again and got (finally):



plus to reread :)

Hopefully they'll cheer me up from my flu-induced gloominess!

I've heard only good things about the series. Thanks! Funnily, the woman at the library (probably in her mid 60's) told me this is her favorite series when I was checking out my books.

[Alyssa]

and some Nicholas Sparks books!

I love this series. Definitely more then I thought I would.

I thought they would be typical romances, and in alot of ways they are. But I do have to say that I was surprised by how emotional they can make me. It could be that I tear up easily, but they've made me cry a number of times.

[Heidi]

Woot! I used my 33% off Borders coupon to buy On the Jellicoe Road for $6.00. Next up I plan to buy North of Beautiful with another Border's coupon, so it should be the same price. I heart Borders.

[Amanda]

I got another armload from half priced books.
I finally got a copy of The Hunger Games hardcover, I had the other two in hardcover but could only find Hunger Games in paperback forever.
I also bought , , and .
Now if I could only find a copy of hardcover wihtout having to pay full price I'd be estatic.

[Gwennie]

I need a hardcover copy of Hunger Games too, Amanda. I have Catching Fire and Mockingjay in hardcover.

[Heidi]

I got my hardcovers of Hunger Games and Catching Fire at Sams Club - I know Target has them cheap as well.

[Lindsay]

Just bought Last Sacrifice - can't wait to see Rose back in action Last Sacrifice

[Kurukka]

Just received and in hardcover (been waiting for this one for mooooonths!)

I'm so happy when I get new books. They're brand new, and fresh, and smell paper. And I sound like a maniac. But better be a book sniffer than a panties sniffer (okay that's a joke for Misfits fans ! XP)

[Amanda]

I brought home from the library yesterday:
which I 've heard is a creepy disgusting horror story. I'm kinda excited!
, , and on audio, which I've started and can't seem to get into it.

[Gwennie]

Reading the Insiders Guide now.

[Becca]

Don't worry Amanda, I had a hard time getting into the Book Theif too, and I did it on audio. I think it was because the story is so slow, but it gets better.

[Jaimie]

I just got , , and from Betterworld Books! I kind of want to wait until the weekend so I can read them uninterupted but I don't know if I can hold out that long!

[Gwennie]

Finnikin!

[Karen]

I just got , , and , and from my favorite YA bookstore, but I've got so many checked out from the library right now, I don't know when I'll get around to them. Also picked up , , , and from the adult table at my BOGO bookfair at school.

[Heidi]

Yay! Love the first two books and own Never After and plan to read it when I get through my current pile.

[Heidi]

Amanda stick with the Book Thief. I listened to it on audio and after the first CD I was about to give up. Wait until Max shows up - it really picks up after that. What is it with these Aussie writers, (i.e. Jellicoe Road), making us wait half of the book to really get into them?

[Amanda]

Yes I think I may start Tressas book and hold off for "me time" on the other two.

[Heidi]

Carmel wrote: "Heidi I, us aussie's like to keep people on "tender hooks", ha ha"

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!

[Heidi]

Jaimie Tressa is great for light reading :)

[Lori]

I came home today with and I just couldn't wait for Last Sacrifice, even if it will be a couple weeks before I can actually start reading it, lol

[Arphaxad]

Latest library visit yielded the following:

and (only because I already had it on request; I'm still not sure if I can bring myself to read any more VA after the first book..!)

The others should be fun though, quite a good haul :)
