It goes that way with holds sometimes for me too. I have Chocolat and Bee Season on my tbr pile. The Lollypop Shoes (sequel to Chocolat) is good too. Looks like the girls did well this week as well. Happy reading.

I loved Bee Season…I read it a few years ago and thought it was wonderful. The movie? Not so much.

I loved The Graveyard Book! Im sure you’ve heard people going on and on about it – but it really does deserve the praise!

Isn’t it crazy how all the holds come in at once?! I really like the movie Chocolat, but I haven’t read the book.

you definitely need to read the Maximum Ride books in order. James Patterson is amazing. Enjoy!>And as a side note I really like the header for your blog.

Well, I’m glad that I’m not the only one that happens to…one time I went to pick up the books that I knew were ready and there were 5 more waiting for me. the librarian showed me how to use the “suspend” feature on my account, now I try to space them out throughout the year!!!

Oh I hate it when they all come in at once! Then you feel like you have to rush. Happy reading!

I’ve been wanting to read something by Harris for awhile now. Hope you enjoy!

I don’t normally put books on hold. I probably should though, everytime I go in I never find the books I’m looking for. >>Chocolat and The Graveyard Book were both really good reads, I hope you enjoy them.
