I'm so proud of myself. I started reading the Lovely Bones about three months ago and only got halfway through it. Today I read over 150 pages in a couple hours. I have a tendency to read half a book and then get bored with it, so I'm very proud that I finished it. I'm debating what to read next. Jane Goodall is turning 82 so I might read a book from her (I've got 6 books of hers, read one called Seeds of Hope)

Congratulations, LiteraryLark...! the Skeezyks is currently in a "no-reading" period. Feeling like I should try to get myself out of it... but... too much time spent here on PC.

I chose a book that's been on my mind since I've bought it...The Hummingbird's Daughter. It's a fictional book and I read the first few pages before I bought it and I love the style and vividness of the writer, so I'm very excited to read this book.

I'm thinking of reading at the gym. I see a lot of people read books on the peddler and I might as well gets some exercise while I read.

Wonderful news! I've had this issue for 6 years now. As a bibliophile it breaks my heart.

Very cool about reading!

I managed to finish the next book I had borrowed and now I only have one left out of three. My last one from this library trip is called "I was here" by Gayle Forman. I hope I like it.

Possible trigger:


My life is full of half read books!

I read the first chapter of The Hummingbird's Daughter and couldn't understand what I had just read. Now I'm reading Needful Things by Stephen King...oooohhhhh boy!
