I am sometimes like that when I start a series I want to finish it but I also started the Gor books and got to

Nomads of Gor (Gor, #4) by John Norman then I was like ok I need a break from this I can't get through the other books just to many of them and it seems to be the same story with a few different changes to me! I really enjoy the story but it seemed to be dragging on and on to me. I probably will finish it at some point tho!

Dierdra McGill (dierdramcgill) | 24 comments Tara you said you don't have the money to get the third book, have you tried a library or if you have a E-Reader or want to download it for your computer there are places that you can borrow books from people! Just a thought! What series was it by the way?

I can't read two books at once. I have tried before but I just can't seem to keep the two straight or end up never finishing one of them!

Miriam Cheryl I'm reading "Such a Pretty Fat" by Jen Lancaster which is HYSTERICAL! I had to stop reading it in public because I would be crying from laughing so hard! Also reading the last book in the Dream Series by Nora Roberts. AND I just got a dozen books from the library and I'm all ready for my surgery (tonsils) Two weeks of reading!!! Yay!

GOOD LUCK!
Whatever they tell you about all the ice cream you can eat... don't believe them. But DO get popcicles, etc. and ice chips. Cold and CLEAR is better than milky substances. Sorbet is good too.
Your throat won't want to swallow anything. Not even spit! sorry but true!


message 917: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) I'm 42 pages off the end off Rebellion (Matthew Hawkood 4) by James McGee and it's really good, a bit Sharpe-like but I quite enjoy Cornwell's books so it doesn't bother me :)
After that I'm waiting on a book order to arrive then will have to decide which one to start on :S

Is Clockwork Angel not grabbing you? I'm not sure if I want to start myself on another Cassandra Clare series - I found CoFA a bit disappointing but I know I'll have to read the rest of them anyway out of curiosity.

I'm about to start: Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1) by Kiersten White . :)

I would expect you to say that as it's the one I picked off your favourites shelf for the challenge, lol. ;)


message 922: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Okay, here's what I'm reading:

Rumours (Luxe, #2) by Anna Godbersen - I'm really struggling with this one. It's so boring. This series is definitely not good enough to re-read.

Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens - I'm doing okay with this but it's mammoth and I've been to busy to crochet so I haven't listened to any for the past couple of days.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - I'm starting this one tomorrow. I'm so excited, I've not heard one bad thing about it.


message 923: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) I'm now reading more of Complete Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Library Collection) by Arthur Conan Doyle with a cup of hot chocolate to keep me company until my book order arrives :)

I always like to have a large book to fall back on either inbetween books or just if I need a breather from one I'm reading, helps me not get bored of either!

message 932: by Susan (new)

Susan Louise -ooooooooh now you have us all curious! I can think of words... "work" - that's a four letter word in all senses! LOL
and "exercise!" that's another disgusting word!

I also hate it. I saw it on my twitter feed last night and almost unfollowed the person. If I see it again I will do. It's uncalled for.
