message 1: by Alex (new)

Alex This is where you can put the books you just got on. I just got nightshade by andrea cremer and shiver by maggie stiefvater


message 2: by [deleted user] (new)

I got some library books! Does that count?
Well, I got:
Picture Perfect by D. Anne Love
The Twin's Daughter by Lauren Baratz-Logsted
Crank by Ellen Hopkins

I haven't read any of these because I'm reading a book from last week, Nightshade, and it's pretty good! :)


message 3: by Sashana (new)

Sashana I bought these recently:
Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis Smart Boys & Fast Girls (Boys Series, Book 4) by Stephie Davis

From my library I checked out:
Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert


message 4: by India (new)

India (indihth) I'm not sure if this really counts as a book but I order a Barnes and Noble Nook a couple days ago, it's so exiting! Can't wait to start reading on it :)

-India


message 5: by Sashana (new)

Sashana Awesome, India! I got my Sony reader for Christmas and I can tell you that life hasn't been the same since. Are you getting the color or the regular e-ink version?


message 6: by India (new)

India (indihth) I got the original e-ink one, for 2 reason:
It was cheaper (a lot cheaper!)
and I don't see the point in having an ereader with an LCD screen when the whole point of them is that they have the e-ink screen so it doesn't hurt your eyes looking at it too long. Strange. I'm assuming the sony is an e-ink?

I don't have much need for a touch screen colour ebook reader anyway. My sister ended up wanting one too, lol :P
How are you finding reading on it?

-India


message 7: by Sashana (new)

Sashana I agree about the LCD screen. I don't think I'd ever get the Nook color because it'd be like reading on my computer-which I hate doing. Yes, the Sony is e-ink and touch screen. To say that I love it would be an understatement, I am obsessed!


message 8: by Ⓛeah (new)

Ⓛeah ✿εїз✾ (goodreadscomLeah13) | 6 comments I got GONE VAMPIRE ACADEMY and THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS THE CITY OF BONES


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

This week, from the Library I got:
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer (already read.)
Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin (not really liking this much.)
and...
Halo by Alexandra Adornetto. Hope this book rocks.

In a few weeks, I'm going to go to Walmart & buy lots of new books. Can't wait! :)
I'll definitely share them w/ you guys!


message 10: by India (new)

India (indihth) I've the audiobook of Halo but would much prefer to read it, please tell us how it is because I'm dying to read it :D

message 12: by Sashana (new)

Sashana Nice haul, Alex. I LOVE the Vampire Academy series. Richelle Mead is my favorite Paranormal Romance author. I think you'll enjoy the book.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

Cool Alex!
This week I bought:
Beastly by Alex Flinn Rampant (Killer Unicorns, #1) by Diana Peterfreund Crave (Crave, #1) by Melinda Metz Ash by Malinda Lo Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins

From the Library I got:
Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis Fallout (Crank, #3) by Ellen Hopkins Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2) by Becca Fitzpatrick

I hope I love ALL of these books! If you've read any, let me know what you think[No spoilers please].


message 14: by Alex (new)

Alex ive read crescendo. in my opinion it was better than hush,hush.


message 15: by Sashana (new)

Sashana I read Beastly and I though it was a nice remake of Beauty and the Beast. I thought Hex Hall was cool, a boarding school of paranormal creatures is an interesting concept. I loved Anna and the French Kiss. It was really funny.


message 16: by India (new)

India (indihth) I really want to read Anna and the French Kiss! It looks so sweet :D Ive read Dash and Lily's Book of Dares and it's a lovely christmas-y/holiday book!

message 29: by shady boots (last edited Sep 21, 2011 01:27AM) (new)

shady boots (shadyboots) Lol, I'm not really sure if it's good or not. But I'm gonna read it eventually. Still need to go through a lot of books. And I wanna re-read the Wicked Lovely series cause I've forgotten huge parts of it. ._. I haven't read the final book due to my forgetfulness. So to read that, I'm gonna have to re-read the whole series. xD That's a good thing though. I might have opinion changes on things.
