Katie (biblioptica) | 6 comments I actually just went to the library today!
Out at the moment I have;

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield & Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi

and on hold are;

The Orenda A Novel by Joseph Boyden & The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt


message 8: by Liis (new)

Liis Trinity, I like to read full series in a row and before I started this one I didn't know there's sixth one coming out ... I really don't remember much about it cuz it was 2 years ago when I read first five :)

Katie, I really enjoyed The Goldfinch! Hope you like it! And The Thirteenth Tale is in my TBR list so I would love to hear what you think about it.


message 9: by Catriona (new)

Catriona (catrionagregory) A Street Cat Named Bob How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets by James Bowen

I remember seeing an interview about this about 3 years ago, and I've wanted to read it ever since.


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

That is an awesome staff incentive! I want to work there! lol

From the library I have: Death Note Black Edition, Volume 1 (Death Note Black Edition, #1) by Tsugumi Ohba Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush, #1) by Becca Fitzpatrick and Sea of Shadows (Age of Legends, #1) by Kelley Armstrong

I love my library but I try really hard not to check out too many. I have a really bad habit lately of reading way too many books at once and getting myself bogged down. I am trying not to do that! I own so many books that I haven't read so I should really be concentrating on those lol


message 14: by J (last edited Jul 24, 2014 04:04PM) (new)

J | 70 comments Already finished these:
Bullet Point by Peter Abrahams Escape Velocity by Robin Stevenson
Haven't finished these:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Mariah Mundi The Midas Box by G.P. Taylor


I am a library fiend. The first thing I do when I move to a new place is find a piece of mail the library will accept as my new proof of address and get my library card. Then I hop on the huge waiting lists for popular YA books so I can read them in a month or two or whenever. I love the library.


message 15: by J (new)

J | 70 comments Alright! I finished 3/4, and went and checked out a whole bunch of books I requested. Now I really have my work cut out for me - starting a read-a-thon on Saturday, so I'm sure I'll get through more than a few of them.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) by Cassandra Clare Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor The Disaster Artist My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero Ready Player One by Ernest Cline The Reptile Room (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #2) by Lemony Snicket Shadowplay (Micah Grey, #2) by Laura Lam Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin Vicious by V.E. Schwab

Ah! Gossip Girl, my guilty pleasure!
Which reminds me I want to continue that series sometime. I remember liking Wintergirls, but it's been a while since I've read it.


message 21: by Trinity (new)

Trinity Haha, I never watched the shows. They looked kind of good though, I've always wanted to watch it but it was way too far into the series to start.

message 25: by Jonel (new)

Jonel So I recently joined my local library. Yup. Somehow it didn't occur to me before hand. I'm loving their audio books on CD section. We don't have any good local radio stations so I listen to them while driving.

I used to have audible on my phone but I find the speaker isn't quite loud enough while driving and frankly, checking them out from the library is a lot cheaper.

Amy (DemonKittie) (demonkittie) I just got Mr. Mercedes out from the library. Have another book waiting to be picked up, but I forget what it is.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Let me know how that one is! Love Stephen King but haven't heard much about that one yet.


Amy (DemonKittie) (demonkittie) I will. Probably read it starting Tuesday or so. Have a bit of stuff to do first. Was reading a book that was good but took forever to finish. Have to clean a little before I should read again.


message 47: by Jonel (new)

Jonel I've got Kindred Spirits by Sarah Strohmeyer out from the library right now. It's the audio CD version & is in the player in my car.

Haha I know what that's like...miss the days of no responsibilities when I could just read all the time!


message 49: by Jonel (new)

Jonel I"m so excited! My local library is having their semi annual fundraising sale this weekend. While I'm there browsing I'll check a few more audio books out. I wonder what I'll get this time.
