Bestest Friend and I are doing a blog project. Every day we will write a blog post on a pre-determined theme chosen by a random noun generator. The theme for the nineteenth day of the month is "Library." I've decided I'm going to just tell you what are on my library book shelves each month.

Have you read any of these books? What do you think about them?
Solid lists, Engie. I've always wanted one of those old-style library card catalog cabinets!
ReplyDeleteThis was a working card catalog at a small library! They're transitioning to a digital catalog, so soon this one will no longer be operational, but it was so much fun to just open up a drawer and look at the cards!
DeleteKids these days...they'll never know what it was like to use a card catalog. And that's OK.
ReplyDeleteSelfishly I'm exciting that you've got Nightcrawling checked out. I've heard one very good and one very bad review of it, so I'm looking for you to break the tie to decide if it goes on my TBR. No pressure!
Oh, I'm not going to be very helpful on Nightcrawling. I DNFed it about 15% of the way through. I thought it was well done, but wasn't excited about reading yet another book in March about a traumatic childhood.
DeleteI read Uprooted: liked it enough to finish it, but didn't love it.
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating when you want a book and the only copy is lost! Seems like the system shouldn't let you put a hold on if they don't really have it.
Yeah, I have loved Novik (Temeraire! dragons!) and found her meh (Spinning Silver, Scholomance), so I'm quite uncertain about how Uprooted is going to go for me. We shall see!
DeleteHow is it possible I haven't read any of these? I need to start reading more. I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Thursday Murder Club. Everyone seems to be loving that series these days.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd read so many great reviews of Thursday Murder Club, so I'm excited to dive into it.
DeleteI haven't read any of these!!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many books out there that I guess it's not that surprising, right?!
