Finally got my books on my new bookshelves! By no means are they organized. I had to put the piece of wood on top because my cats are idiots and kept jumping behind the corner unit and getting stuck.

When your awesome boss decides to give you (and deliver!!) a set of bookshelves...so you clean out your current 2.5 ones and you have to admit to yourself you may have a problem with book addiction. Ps this is just the ones I have here my parents still store a decent portion of my collection!

The Bad Beginning | Lemony Snicket

I've decided to reread one of my favorite series this year. Almost done with book one, which I picked up a couple hours ago

MinDea I have had this on my tbr for so long! 7y
Oliveskool Its a really good preteen series. As an adult its a 2-3 hour read per book at only about 150-200 pages a book. As I read I definitely see how it influenced my teen years XD 7y

With Full time school and part time work, my challenge is tiny but will not include any textbooks or journals :)

ReadosaurusText I also set my challenge at 24, not counting what I read for work. Glad to know others are in the same boat! 7y

This is such an amazing book! I haven't gotten lost in a book and closed it 6 hours later in a long long time! I loved that the book showed the author's side, son of a survivor, right along side of his father's story.

This was ok. I would have liked more to the book or a sequel. It just felt stunted.

Sweettartlaura I think we may be getting a movie of this one, so you might get your wish😉 8y

Finished the book in approximately 2hours. Fun read. The lead is a female thief, I hope Vol. 2 has more character development but over all a pick. This is my favorite frame of the book.

Just started this and would have finished it in one sitting but I'm exhausted. First graphic novel since high school and I'm loving it. Any suggestions for my next one?

AWahle Lumberjanes, Bitch Planet, Nimona, Chew, Sweet Tooth... depends on your interests, but I've enjoyed all of these. (And so many more) 8y

I listened to the audio version and the performance was great but I found that the plot was just flat. After listening to the entire Wayward Pines series in a month, this was a let down. Overall though, a decent suspense/sci-fi and could easily see it turned into a mini series or movie
