More scholarly somehow. Its got some moments of great humor but it's not going quick for me.<BR/><BR/>Melanie, I've been scared to tackle any long books in years. I keep picking ones about 300 pages out of fear that I'll never finish anything.<BR/><BR/>Nymeth, I can't wait to read Katherines, but I'd rather have gotten Paper Towns.<BR/><BR/>Janssen, EVERY weekend is exhausting. I try to fit in so much stuff that it wears us out and makes us all cranky.<BR/><BR/>Kathy, every time I've been to ours the computers are full. It's a pretty nice place, they've recently remodeled a lot and the book selection seems pretty good. Granted, I only ever look at new releases in the adult section. Plus, coffee shop!<BR/><BR/>Trish, the snow came and went pretty quick, didn't ruin the day at all.<BR/><BR/>Michelle, if this wasn't a library book I'd send it on to you!<BR/><BR/>Sam, February is starting slow! I need more dedication.<BR/><BR/>softdrink, it does have a coffee shop! It's hit or miss on the quality sometimes though.<BR/><BR/>Belle, the make believe one does look interesting. It also looks DENSE.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-76289930853283053802009-02-02T22:48:00.000-06:002009-02-02T22:48:00.000-06:00Just read your review for Enchanted Inc and I agre...Just read your review for Enchanted Inc and I agree. I read it a while back and while I enjoyed it while I was reading it, I didn't feel the urge to check out the sequels.<BR/><BR/>I loved your haul from the library!

I am still reading it. I think that the 700 pages has just overwhelmed me. My goal for the week is to FINISH it. I have so many books that I want to read but I am too far into this one to give it up. Happy reading.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212454004456092488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-33547053227096467072009-02-01T13:06:00.000-06:002009-02-01T13:06:00.000-06:00It hard to believe it's already February. I feel ...It hard to believe it's already February. I feel like January barely got started! <BR/><BR/>We read the same amount of books this past month. :-) I am sorry though you had two clunkers. I guess it's bound to happen and at least you didn't pay for them.<BR/><BR/>A library with a birdcage! I wish I could see that.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your thoughts on "Why We Read What We Read". I got that one from my Secret Santa and am looking forward to reading it. I've heard mixed reviews about it, but I can't help but try it for myself.<BR/><BR/>Today I am planning to finish up with the laundry, catch up on some of those TV shows that were recorded this past week and hopefully fit in some reading time as well. Riley needs a walk and the weather is perfect for it. I may do that as soon as I'm done here. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great week, Lisa!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
