Welcome to the forum

Oh my goodness, Kylie and I thought I had a huge TBR pile (close to 200)...

Oh goodie, another one who enjoyed The girl with the dragon tattoo. I simply loved it and I read all three books in maybe 10 days or even less.

Love your shelves Kylie! How is the colour coordination going?

I started my first Sir Arthur Conan Doyle / Sherlock Holmes novel yesterday evening. The Hound of the Baskerville. I didn't get far, page 25 or something, as I was just too tired. But I really think, that I'm going to like it.

I finished Kai Meyer > Arkadien erwacht yesterday and I haven't decided which book to read next. This was YA fantasy, so I'll probably choose a different genre, maybe some crime. My bf gave me The Hound of the Baskerville on Saturday (to get me started on classics), so I might start this one next.

Mark T. Sullivan > The sepent's kiss I started very late with this genre.

Hi Kylie, you're so sweet I got my reading mojo back big time, so there's actually something I can write about.

Kai Meyer > Arkadien erwacht I finished this book yesterday evening, it's the first part of the newest YA fantasy series by my favourite german author. This book is about Rosa and Alessandro, the offspring of two feuding Mafia families who also share quite the secret. Both their families don't only belong to the italian Mafia but also to the so called Arcadian dynasties, families who change into animal form when highly emotional (anger, sorrow, love). My thoughts The story is a little bit slow but it get's more interesting in the end. The fantasy part isn't as big as in the authors other YA series, which I found a little irritating. I'm looking forward to the next book, which will be relased in the end of September, as I hope that the story will pick up and tell more about the Arcadian dynasties. I guess the reason why the first books is developing quite slowly, is that the author isn't sure yet, how many books the series will have. Rating: 3/5 Series: Arcadia 1

Yes I will! I spent 4 hours at a huge bookshop on saturday with my bf. He bought maybe 10 books or so and I didn't buy anything. The bookshop didn't have what I thought would be worth stepping out of my "no more book buying promise". Nothing felt right or somehow worthy enough. I have this feeling quite often, that I want to buy the perfect book for the moment, not just any book. And if I can't find a book that "jumps" at me, I leave without buying anything, even though I have a huge list of books that I would like to have.

Carriers very boring (thought it was a more horror type movie)

Welcome to the forum Remy Ooh, South Australia, how nice! I've been a few times in Adelaide while backpacking through Australia for 8 months in 2008/2009 and I'd say it would be one of my favourite cities.

I've read the first 50 pages of Justin Cronin > The Passage yesterday online and now I really want to know how it goes on! As I put my book-buying-habit to a halt, I'll have to see if the public library has it... Will I be able to resist buying the book??

If anyone would be interested in reading this book, there's an open bookring in the bookring section of the forum

Hey Weave, I've got a suggestion aswell. I just put this book on my wishlist and thought you might like it, too. S. G. Browne > Breathers - A Zombie's Lament Synopsis: Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Abandoned by his friends and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and meets a few kindred souls. It kinda sounds like The vampire support group, just with zombies instead..

I love my books to be in good condition and I always read them without damaging them. Though I sometimes lend my books to others, I have one friend ho would never want to borrow one of my books, cause she always cracks or bends the spine on purpose, so she could read the book better. My books often look non-read even though I have read them, others look read (cracks in the spine) because the quality of the book isn't as good and I couldn't help damaging it (which is quite annoying). Just a few books look really worn out, because I read them so many times over the years. But generally I like my books to look pretty on the shelves

I've got these books on my TBR shelf for quite a while now. Would be interesting what you'll think of them.

Do you think it would make sense to read these books (Thursday Next)without knowing the classics?

Yesterday I started Arkadien erwacht by my favourite german author Kai Meyer. I just love is YA fantasy books. Even a few of his books have been translated in english.
