Pick-a-Shelf discussion

Our shelf for April is going to be Wishlist, as in I wish I had gotten this thread up earlier....

I always have a large number of books on my wishlist and it is fun to see what other people are wishing for. Plus it should be a shefl with a lot of variety since we are on short notice. Have fun with the list!

I'm going to go with In a Dark, Dark Wood

If I can fit in another I'll try for one of these:

Between Shades of Gray
The Alchemist
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2
The Bear and the Nightingale

I'll probably read something coming up for my IRL book club, like City.

I will probably read Fahrenheit 451

I have started it last month as an audiobook, but really really disliked the delivery. so I stopped before I would hate the book.

It was read by Tim Robbins - which I liked in few movies, but he feels very flippant about it. especially the way he read the women is super annoying

so anyways - I will read it instead this month with my eyes instead

I'm going to try All the Light We Cannot See

I'll read I'll Give You the Sun - it is on my mind for a while and this is a good opportunity to finally start it.

I'm thinking about one of these
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}386162
An Ember in the Ashes
Shiver
Uprooted

HOWEVER ... I just started Shantaram, so whether I'll get to anything else before April is over is anyone's guess. Why do I do this to myself?!

This is a great idea for a shelf! I will read The Things They Carried which is also one of my Bookopoly picks for my next move :)

Also possible: Freedom

I have my exams, so i have time to read only one. I think i'm going to start Different Seasons or finish I Capture the Castle or start The Book Thief
Any suggestions on which one to do first? :)

All the Light We Cannot See
Witches of New York
The Guernsy Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I am still behind on my Monthly shelf reading, so I will only plan one book for April: Salt to the Sea.

I haven't read Different Seasons, but I've read both I Capture the Castle (which I found good, though nothing special) and The Book Thief. I loved the latter and gave it 5 stars, so I would definitely recommend it!

I noticed that I have quite a few in my wishlist as well - that's interesting!

I think I will read Vanity Fair, which I have planned for a group read in another group, although I'm a bit unsure I'll be able to finish it before the end of the month. I will also see if the other books I'll read fit in.

I'll read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere in April. Last year I read Stardust and was positively surprised, I've been searching for something else by Gaiman and figured this could be a good choice

LOVE[book:The Book Thief!!!

Going to try and read The Shining for this one.

This month I plan to read Mr Mercedes and/or Letters To The Lost. As well I plan to finish Alexander Hamilton which has been on my wishlist since 2017 and have been reading since January

Well, as it is on there 46 times, it's sitting at our house and I'm reading it for a different challenge, it's hands down going to be UnDivided

I'll read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children so it will count towards my oldest books on the to be read challenge too.

I loved it!

I have quite a few books on my TBR in this list

I will read Half-Blood and
A Short History of Nearly Everything I enjoyed Bill Bryson's other books so this should be interesting.

Finished Harry Potter And the Philosopher Stone. Now I hope to read The Shining or Letters To The Lost next.

I rarely give up on books but I had to stop reading Between Shades of Gray. Between the Young Adult simplified writing style to the awful narration on the audiobook, I just couldn't do it. But I'll watch the movie when it comes out because I'm still interested in the story,

Fail-Safe, just because it's been getting dust on my bookshelf for too long.
