Sad thing is...I own all of these books and am just too lazy to read them ;_;

Yes i agree..I have many books at home just sitting waiting to be read but it seems i can't ever read them, maybe because i know they will be there in till i want to read them. Anyhow it seems I read more if i borrow a book from a friend or the library...maybe its because i have a deadline :P

anyways I'm going set a goal and try to read all my books at home after I finish with my series i got from the library...or maybe every other book i'll read one of mine at home.

:) Well being busy with art and all I haven't really read much lately.
Today I read "A soul in a bottle" by Tim Powers. Now I just have to get some more books by him. I really like his writing style. Bye until later folks.

Work has done it again. I really want to crack open my second book for my list, but I'm so tired. It's a really interesting book too. Darn work!

@Immortaleyes:
Tim Powers is an amazing author.
I really suggest reading The Anubis Gates by him. It's become one of my favorite novels.

-scribbles down notes- Couldn't write much of a book list until later
since Tsuki ish too sleepy *yawns*
But it sounds good! Maybe me will stop by tomorrow
and write one down? Hm... -forgot what
I was going to do- Argh! Does that happen
to everyone sometimes or is it just due to lack of sleep?

@Knerd:
I know, but I can't help it. Sometimes the name draws me in, or the cover art, or the little information they put on the back. It was the cover art that did me in with that book x.x
But now I'm reading I Capture the Castle and I love it.

I need to log-in to my other account, and update my list. >3<

Knerd 06-30-2008 08:48 PM

We're getting dangerously close to having 100 lists posted!
I would love to have that many users involved.

So if we get 9 more members soon, I just might have to throw a party! (Or even just host that contest I've been planning for months. :yes:)

Urg, I still haven't read anything new. Still working on rereading all the Twilight books.
But I'm almost done! I'm over halfway through Eclipse~ Then I can start to work on the books I've got waiting around for me.

MurasakiCrown 07-01-2008 02:18 AM

What does the cover of Twilight look like? I think I might have seen it, but I'm not sure because I need glasses and I saw it from afar XD


I'm currently reading Catch-22 because someone recommended it to me. I find it quite enjoyable, even though there are so many characters to keep up with (although the way my friend said it I thought there would be way more than there are XD). I really like the paradoxes and ironies in here XD

Cherry Who? 07-01-2008 02:22 AM

Platinum - It looks like this:

If you need a bigger image, I can find one for you.

We should have the one hundredth list one page one hundred.

I want it to be me! ^w^

MurasakiCrown 07-01-2008 02:57 AM

That was it! XD

I should have gotten it XD

OMFGOMFGOMFGOMFG ~ <3

I currently have an advance reader's copy of Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke. Parental unit picked it up at the American Library Association conference yesterday. If the fencing summer nationals weren't starting tomorrow (not competing, coaching younglings), i'd go and hole up in my room and read lots.

Ah well.

According to the back cover, it is estimated to be 704 pages when it comes out in hardcover. That's all i'm going to say about anything on the book itself.

Angel Spirit Girl 07-01-2008 11:56 AM

Inkdeath looks interesting.

It is in a series I would like to read since I love fantasy novels.

Skrae 07-01-2008 03:54 PM

Ohhh, good books are Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and Dearly Devoted Dexter, I just finished them both...Now I'm jonesing for the third book. They're very good crime fiction books!

Angel Spirit Girl 07-01-2008 04:19 PM

I enjoy mystery novels, too.

The Cat Who .... series by Brown is very good.

Skrae 07-01-2008 04:25 PM

Yes, as are the Lillian JAckson Braun cat mysteries...
(can't remember the series name)

So are agatha Christie books.
<3

Angel Spirit Girl 07-01-2008 04:31 PM

Ooops! Braun, not Brown! XXPP

Agatha Christie is love! ^.^

I also love Sherlock Holmes.

The Father Dowling - or is that Brown? - and Brother Cadfael mysteries are good, too.

Skrae 07-01-2008 04:47 PM

I haven't heard of those before, but I shall look into them, thanks~!
And thanks for helping me with the titles...I forgot they were the cat who books. ^^;;
There's another cat mystery series, but I haven't the foggiest what it is or who wrote it right now...>_<;;

Angel Spirit Girl 07-01-2008 04:59 PM

There is the book Cat on the Edge by Shirley Rousseau Murphy, which starts a fantasy mystery series where the detective is a cat who finds he can think and read one day.

`Kitami 07-01-2008 05:12 PM

Well that would be an interesting discovery, wouldn't it? ^^;

Angel Spirit Girl 07-01-2008 05:24 PM

It was a really cool book. =^u^=

`Kitami 07-01-2008 05:27 PM

Sounds like it. :3

I may read it after I finish the Merry Gentry series. :U
