Literary Junkies




It's the Third Tuesday of the month, and that means LITERARY JUNKIES DAY!!  I'm very excited to be co-hosting the linkup this month.  See all the details below!  

Here are this month's questions and my answers:

1. What are you reading right now? Tell us about it! 
I'm almost finished with The Girl You Left Behind.  It starts out in France during WWI, and then moves to modern day London.  So far, I like it!  

2. What books are on your bedside table at the moment? 
Right now, I don't have any books on my bedside table!  I usually have a stack of library books, but I don't have any checked out at the moment.  I'm reading The Girl You Left Behind on my Kindle app, so I don't even have that sitting there!  

3. Amazon recently released the 100 books to read in a lifetime. What did they miss that you would add? 
I would add East of Eden and A Tale of Two Cities.  Oh, and The Chronicles of Narnia (at least #1). 

4. Are there any books being published in 2014 that you are anxiously awaiting? If so, what are they? 
 There are 2 that I am very excited about - Edge of Eternity and Landline.  I keep checking the library website to see if they have pre-ordered copies yet.  I want to get on the waiting list ASAP!  

5. Name the next 3 books in your To Be Read List (the ones you will be reading next on your list.) 
This will mostly be based on when my holds are available from the library.  So, my next book will be The Good Luck of Right Now, because it is ready to pick up.  After that, I don't know.  I'm hoping I will get Serena and What Alice Forgot soon, so I can read them for our next 2 book club chats!

  1. Oh man I just got seriously sidetracked with the Amazon list and looking up each of the books you mentioned! I really love this outfit, I've been looking for a navy sweater just like that!

  7. I absolutely loved The Girl You Left Behind! Definitely pick up Honeymoon in Paris too - it's a sort of companion novella.

  9. I almost bought a black sweater from Old Navy this weekend, but then I found the same one in navy. I spent way too long going back and forth between the two, and I finally gave up. Now I'm thinking I should have got the navy one.

  10. The Girl You Left Behind sounds really good!! A Tale of Two Cities would have been an excellent addition, I was having a hard time thinking of one.

  13. You sound like me with checking the library to see if you can pre request it. I was like that with a few books. It pays off though when you're high on the list instead of in the hundreds. I waited around to request Nicholas Sparks' newest book and I've been waiting a couple of months now and I'm still like # 300 something...
