I have books piled around all over my apartment.

Very unusual story but we are really drawn into it. Its taking a while to finish (aside from the fact that it is unabridged and really long) because we don't listen to it unless the other is also present. Let me know how you like Son of a Witch.

It's really good so far.<< I've read the book but never seen the play. (Can't remember the last time I saw a play, actually.)

These days, I borrow books from work (I work in a warehouse for a bookstore chain) or the library.

Originally Posted By MissCandice I am fighting with myself to not re-read the HP series. I am trying to read new books, not books I have already read.

And to completely contradict myself right now I am re-reading "September" by Rosamund Pilcher. I blame the pneumonia. I just wanted some comfort reading.
