Here is my pile of books. I'm stressed! So many books, so little time! I love the public library, I really do, but sometimes the timing of my holds is less than perfect. Only three weeks to get through all of these? Impossible! And where do I start?I'm actually quite excited to read a few of these books, especially:
-The Hour I First Believed, the newest Wally Lamb book
-My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, which my mom bought me
-Paris to the Moon, by Adam Gopnik, which was part of my birthday present from M.
-and Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon, just because I want to know what the hype is all about
I am also attending my first Book Club meeting this week about the book Mudbound, by Hillary Jordan, and I'm only on page 50 of 300! Eek! I gotta go read!
Okay, but the real reason for this post was to tell you about the Goodreads website. This is a website to track the books you've read, get recommendations from friends (pretty hard when you don't have any), read reviews, rate books, etc. I always wanted a way to keep track of the books I read, and this is perfect! It's really easy to sign up. Come on, let's be friends. Please? Don't let my mother be my only friend!

ReplyDeleteI haven't started My Sister's Keeper quite yet! I have to get through some library books first, then I can move on to it. I'm excited for it! Would you like to borrow it in the meantime?
