Will do! She holds a special place in my heart since I have a nice and nephew with autism. She's a remarkable woman :)

My audio book 11/22/63 by Stephen King is going WONDERFULLY, thank goodness.

Our in person book club tends to read older books so that we can get enough through inter-library loan. I just went to pick up our current read and am really excited... The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Its a rare read for us as we don't read non-fiction very often but I think this one will be good and will generate the discussion that we love!

That one looks sooo good Shannon I've been eying it since it was published :)

[Kat]

Oooo ooo I have that one - I like a bit of non-fiction and it sounds really good!

[Shannon]

I know, I can hardly wait. So glad that our book club gets good books (at least usually - we have had a few duds!)

Judy wrote: "I really enjoyed The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I hope you ladies do, too!"

I'm going to see if my branch has that when I go today :)

[Kimberly]

I brought these home from the library today, since it was only open until 1pm I thought that I should pop by with it not being open for a few days:

[Shannon]

I read half of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in one day. That is a record for me for non-fiction. If it wasn't Christmas Eve I would probably have it finished by now.

I love her blog! I think she's hilarious, though I always walk away feeling hungry after looking at her new recipies :)

[Autumn]

Hooray for belated library day ( its usually sunday) i picked up .. .. .. and .. IQ84 is a doorstopper let me tell you! anyways i cant wait to get to these..

[Kat]

Wow that's some serious reading you've got there Autumn!

[Janice, Moderator]

It looks like you had a great time at the library, Amber.

[Kimberly]

Nice ones Autumn and Amber, you guys are making jealous! I haven't been to the library in 10 days...might have to go the day after tomorrow.

I haven't been to the library in a long long time either. The last time I went they were having a book sale and I bought books instead of borrowing. I have so many books here at home and on my kindle I would never get anything read lol : )

[Kimberly]

I love the libray but I have so many NetGalley books and other books to review plus my free kindle ebooks to read so I hope I can squeeze in the library books enough this year.

[Autumn]

I'm like Amber.. I read library books way before the ones I know.. I'm trying to sneak in books I've won from goodreads 2 down 6 to go then I have 3 bookcases and a kindle full of tbr.. I think if my library had color card system id have a black library card.. ( like the black amex)..

I love to go to the library...I can spend hours and hours there. I hope I can find some of my TBR books there as a lot of them I don't own and would rather borrow instead of buying (when the time comes)...I am trying really hard to stash bust and refrain from buying anymore books until I clear out some of my shelves lol but the free kindle books are really hard to turn down : ) In fact, one of my personal goals that will also help on my 2012 goal is to read at least 30 books off of my "I own" shelf. We will see if I make it.

[Kimberly]

Good Luck! I hope to read at least 30 I own too.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Kimberly wrote: "Good Luck! I hope to read at least 30 I own too."

Good luck to you too....maybe if I see you doing it, you will enable me to do it too LOL Enable me Kimberly : )

[Autumn]

Wow 30 I could not do.. good luck ladies last year I read 3 that I already owned..I did buy some after borrowing them from the library.. I wonder if that counts to read books I own.. haha

LOL too cute Autumn : ) TY. I am hoping to read the 30 and it shouldn't be to hard as most of the books I own are authors that I like. My problem is I search books and find more and more that I want to read and get sidetracked which isn't really hard to do with my lil pea brain LOLOLOL

Autumn wrote: "Wow 30 I could not do.. good luck ladies last year I read 3 that I already owned..I did buy some after borrowing them from the library.. I wonder if that counts to read books I own.. haha"

Thanks I think I only read about 20 I owned last year I think :)

Wow! Autumn, you are quite lucky in winning so many books from goodreads. I have only ever won 2 and nothing for the past two years! That must be why I read so much from the library..lol

[Autumn]

Oh yeah i was on a hot streak in September.. since then i havent won anything.. maybe cause i didnt review as fast as they wanted i have no idea but GR hates me now lol..

[Shannon]

Just brought home a cookbook from the library because 3 people brought recipes to our new years get together from this one book! And the were all delicious!!!!!
Whitewater Cooks At Home

Hmm, maybe I was slow on one of my reviews a couple of years ago. I hope I get off the naughty list soon! ;)

[Shannon]

My son brought home Herge, Tintin au Tibet and the same in english and Complete Sherlock Holmes (because I have been reading them) and one of the Harry Potters on audiobook.
