The Grapes of Wrath, My Sister's Keeper, Crank, To Kill a Mockingbird, Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood, Crossed, and Beautiful Darkness
Wowowow Sabrina! That is a pretty good taking for just this week! And a nice variety too, well played!
So I went to B&N today and found a hardback copy of
for $4.99! I borrowed that one as an audio and could never go back and reread parts I had missed. Now I can AND add to my library! I also ordered a hardback copy of
for my library. Again, same reason. Listened on audio from the library and now I can actually read the word "Saumensch"! ;-)
I also ordered two non YA's, both hardbacks
and
( pre-ordered a signed copy).
And last but the most special, I ordered a signed copy of David's
. Guess I went a bit crazy this weekend!
My library will be very happy!

Thanks Jeann. The Wool Omnibus is amazing and so is
. I've read all 8 books and now need copies for my library! So glad Wool was released as a hardcopy this past week! Hugh Howey is an indie author that is taking the publishing world by storm!



Nice Karen! You hoarded! :)

I hope you enjoy Boundless :). I am looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
I still have to read Partials (I like ordered it when it just was releashed), maybe we can do a buddy read if there are more people who want to read it?
Hehe yayy!! *gawks at them on the Kindle*
Awesome, Lolita, we should definitely do a buddy read of Partials even if it's just the two of us (LOL I just got Will SMith's version of "Just the Two of Us" stuck in my head).
ANd then if we like it, we can buddy read the sequel, Fragments, with Jenny and Karen and anyone else who's patiently waiting to read it with us ;)

We had Partials as a monthly read a while back in the PA group. But I never read it. I started and then got sidetracked with other things. But, I wanna read it eventually, so let me know when you get around to it and I'll buddy read it with you :)
Awesome! Ok cool, we should read it soon! We could start on Friday, would that work? Or we could push it to next week if that works better :)
Wow, that was fast! I'm going to reread the first 2 books before I read the Princess, so I can enjoy the series all at once!

Friday will work. How exactly do the buddy reads work? Do you each read the same amount each day or is it just, Hey, we're reading the same book...but at our own pace?
Bethany, you read the same book at your own pace. I'm sure David will set up a thread for you guys and anyone who wants to join. You can post your thoughts in spoilers as you read!

I am not sure if starting it this friday will work for me. I am currently reading two books. One of them I am 1/3 and I just started my re-read of Fire Country. So maybe monday or something like that would be better for me.
I am looking forward to finally read Partials, I own that book for so long and when I bought it I was so looking forward to reading it, but it ended up standing on my shelf unread for way too long.
OK Bethany and Lolita, lets do Monday :) As Jenny said we'll just do read at your own pace, using spoilers where necessary :) Can't wait!!! Here's a link to the thread I set up!

Yay, my first buddy read :)Sounds like a plan! Monday will be better anyway. I need to try and finish off some books over the weekend. I have a really bad habit of starting new books when I'm already in the middle of others :/

David, are you reading anything else this weekend? We could do Boundless if you want! If you can't, no worries!

Lol! Would you mind waiting until next weekend or is it next on your list? I don't think I'm going to get through my current read in time :(
