Waiting for reviews is not a bad thing to do . I own the first two books but will probably wait with purchasing any more until I've read at least book 1, except if I find ie. book 3 on a deal / on sale somewhere some time. Goodreads lists the new book as 'All Souls Universe 1'. I wonder how it's related to the other three books, but I don't want to read the synopsis in case it spoils the first 3 books.

Good luck Andrea!! I wish you a great reading year in 2018 .

It's pretty amazing when a book can do that. I have the book on my TBR. I hope you have fun . I started reading Francesca Zappia - Made You Up (YA contemporary about a teenage girl who is sometimes having delusions) and Daniel Levitin - A Field Guide to Lies and Statistics (non-fiction).

Good to know ! I've added Strange Weather in Tokyo to my wishlist! Oh whoops, sorry my bad! I hope you enjoy the TV movies! I didn't know those were released on DVD, that's good news. I have a backlog too, of books and video . I hope season 2 comes out soon! Sorry to tell you of the bad news . There is still the hope that someone else will pick it back up, but I don't know if that will happen. Goodbye Tsugumi and Lizard are both not available from the Dutch website, but I added a few other Banana Yoshimoto books to my wishlist (that are available). I hope you enjoy Tolstoy and the Purple Chair when it gets there ! I hope you like all of your books . I'm still waiting for a few of mine too.

Good looking cover! I hadn't heard of this book. I really liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time but I haven't tried any of the author's other works. I hope you like the poetry collection !

Good luck !! After the read-a-thon last weekend I haven't found myself in the mood to read anymore. I have to start a new book, will probably look at my shelves later and see what I feel like reading / what grabs me. It's okay to go a day or two without reading too, anyway . Sometimes it's nice to take a bit of a break.

Yay for more books ! And I hope you enjoy the Shannara Chronicles too. I haven't watched it yet (but I did hear that the show may not be continuing on ). I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Banana Yoshimoto books, as I've read two of his novellas and liked them. I have thought about buying some of his novels, but haven't yet done so (not all are available here I think). I also like the cover of The Nakano Thrift Shop, I know nothing of the book but looked it up and it sounds good! I look forward to hear your thoughts on it. And hey I see Banana Cream Pie Murder, a nice cover too. I hope you enjoy the Gilmore Girls book, I should still see more of that show. I hope you enjoy all of your books and also the TV show !

Wow, by your ratings it seems you've read quite a few enjoyable books this year so far . I hope you'll find an awesome book to give a 10/10 to, some time this year as well.

I watched the film version many years ago on tv and while I did make it to the end, I wasn't impressed with it at all and I don't remember much of it nowadays. Shame the book wasn't that enjoyable for you, Ian.

Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson (book 1 in the series).

Hi Alexander, nice to 'see' you again . Well done for reading 7 books in January!

I'm glad it was good, nice to hear which one is your favourite . I'm glad you enjoyed Still Me! I'll probably pick it up once it's out in paperback. Good luck with IT! It is such a massive book, but very good (in my opinion).

I'm glad you managed to do some nice reading and had fun . Yesterday I re-read Volumes 5 and 6 (of The Eye of the World graphic novels) (176 and 173 pages respectively). Then I read the first four Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels (the first one was a re-read; 185, 143, 155 and 170 pages respectively), by Ann M. Martin, Raina Telgemeier, Braden Lamb. I'm hoping to read the 5th one today. Happy reading today to anyone who reads today !
