Unless I get a first read book. Then that goes to the head of the line! Cause I'm so excited about getting a free book! lol (yeah I don't get out much.)
He is also the author of How to Be Totally Miserable: A Self-Hinder Book in which "you'll learn how to be a breath of stale air at any occasion."



That's the color of my bedroom (not my bedroom, would I ever read Live Your Best Life, no). I'm not crazy about it.
That hurts just thinking about it. I have two bedroom closets, one on either side of the bed, with doors that open out. There's no room to put anything next to the bed.

Actually, it was both a compliment and a recognition of a fellow literary hussy!

I was just joking. Ho.

When I want to read something, I sit in the middle of my library and look at the bookcases until something chatches my eye ;-)

ho.
Lg, you light up my life. Why all the nightstand pictures? What are you on? How old are you really?

Don't you just hate those Cilantro induced urges.

They're not as bad as arugula urges.

There are currently 128 books on my "To Read" shelf.
I do not read my books in the order they appear on my "To Read" shelf, neither do I watch films in the order they appear on Netflix (streaming anyway). But, I do "pay attention" to it. I don't add books to my "To Read" shelf unless I physically have them in my possession. If I simply want to read a book and haven't purchased or borrowed it yet, I write it in my little Moleskine. But, the "To Read" shelf on GR is a direct representation of my "To Read" shelf at home IRL. I have a whole self dedicated to books I need to read. :P

I stare at my real shelf at home and wait for one of them to "talk to me".

I’m all over the map with genres. I’m rereading Great Gatsby for book club at work (better than the Tucker Max book I had to read!) and just picked up The Scapegoat for another group read- looking forward to it, sounds good.

This is how I do it, also.
