I've always wanted to tackle that one, but never seem to get around to it. I know I need to set aside some time to do it, but somehow I keep getting sidetracked by the new books :(TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-5244232982897614282011-06-05T22:36:11.382-06:002011-06-05T22:36:11.382-06:00Wow, I am impressed.

Probably sooner rather than later. I know what you mean about Supernatural and the whole demon angel thing. I miss the good old days too. This season was better than the last two in my opinion. <br /><br />Kaye, YAY! You can totally join us with the buddy read. We probably won't start till July or August but I'll let you know. I wish I had a beach on hand. It would make summer so much more bearable.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-37982661134265503322011-06-05T18:29:46.476-06:002011-06-05T18:29:46.476-06:00Let me know when you start UNDER THE DOME and if i...Let me know when you start UNDER THE DOME and if it's okay I'll join in as I was recently given a copy of it. (A paperback copy, so, yep, it is out!)<br /><br />You have so many fantastic books here. I love any George Eliot so it makes me happy to see it on the list. BIRTHMARKED is on my TBR list too as is anything by Neal Shusterman now that I've finished UNWIND.<br /><br />I'm not huge on summer, either, but I do love sitting outside with a good book. If there were a lake or a beach involved that's perfectly fine, too!kaye (paper reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13149323197913005984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-48504381262422058592011-06-05T16:27:31.843-06:002011-06-05T16:27:31.843-06:00Hey Jenny, OMG you got Shade make sure you come te...Hey Jenny, OMG you got Shade make sure you come tell me what you thought of it if you don't post a review. I friggin love that series!!<br />Supernatural was good this year but it was my least favorite season, Season 1 is my fav I really miss the good old days when they would just go from town to town on regular hunts, before all the angel and demon crap. Don't get me wrong though I love Cass he cracks me up. Though the last episode was awesome , with Sam trying to put his soul back together. I love Sam he's my fav. Holy Ramble, anyway hope u had a great weekend!! =)Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345320379907256212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-62228255247672256222011-06-05T14:29:20.655-06:002011-06-05T14:29:20.655-06:00Suey, I believe Under the Dome is in paper back n...Suey, I believe Under the Dome is in paper back now. Wait?! How did you get Possession? Did I miss something? Sigh! I wish I could have stayed longer to see Dan Wells but you know how it goes. <br /><br />Jenni Elyse, See, summer is my slow time.

I hope I can make it through the 10 books I plan to read. :) I always get distracted during the summer so I don't read as much as I always want to. But, it's definitely more than I do while I'm in school. I hope you enjoy your books!Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-64672035463166779062011-06-05T10:30:53.196-06:002011-06-05T10:30:53.196-06:00Wow!

I also need to get my hands on Under the Dome, it's in paperback now, right? I'm excited for you to read Bruiser. I hope you love it... and the Dan Wells book too. I told him yesterday that I LOVE John Cleaver! Possession is on my list since I bought it yesterday... and Divergent, yes... what's all the buzz about?Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-20338375666288948932011-06-04T16:50:19.326-06:002011-06-04T16:50:19.326-06:00Dana, Will do.

It wasn't summer, but the months were warm; and I can reread a few passages of George Eliot's prose and feel the sun on my arms again. <br /><br />My own plan for the next few months (not summer in my part of the world) is to slow down a bit. In fact, I've already done that and need a good book to get my momentum back.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-79885444067458668472011-06-04T13:03:06.445-06:002011-06-04T13:03:06.445-06:00Wow!
