There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I started the first Temeraire book and was dreading the tales of an oppressed species, but very quickly
In the second book they go to China, where they discover that dragons in China are treated much better than in the UK and Europe. Dragons can go wherever they please and can work for money and own property. This has major repercussions over the rest of the series.
Vonnie, grab some Terry Pratchett as read by Stephen Briggs.
I can vouch for that. The Wee Free Men as read by Briggs was one of Emmett's all time favorites and we laughed a lot.
"Crivens!"
Just spent $10 on a kindle book because I'm getting on a plane and am worried I'll run out of books. Not that there aren't about 100 books on the kindle but I want NEW ones! So wrong.
I'm already stockpiling more books for the Europe trip next month. Because it's not like I don't have close to 100 UNREAD books on my Kindle, or that I'll have anything to do in England, Belgium, France, and Spain other than read...
Well, it's a long plane ride, Susan. And you never know what you'll want to read at the time.
I am 20% into Uprooted and am loving it like crazy.
Me too, it's very good.
And I love that I told my library to get it on Tuesday, and by Thursday morning it was on my kindle. Awesome!
Cumin really tickles my funny bone. As it were.
If anyone else is wondering how to add their Goodreads books to the reading challenge with the iphone app-- which I asked a while ago-- I figured out that you have to add the book to "Currently Reading", and then update your progress to "finished". That adds it to the challenge when adding it to the "Read" list directly does not.
I am also wondering why I thought challenging myself to 150 books was a good idea. I have read 19 1/2.

The first time I upped the count on my reading challenge, I failed miserably. I haven't hit the original number again since. (FYI, you can adjust the number at any point up to the end of the year.)
