Pick-a-Shelf discussion

Thanks, Talia for the fun Adventure pick :)

What type of adventure are you guys looking at this coming month?

For me, I can't wait for June to be over! It's our busiest time at work and it's driving me bonkers :p

Haven't got to my June read yet... with all that's going on at work, I'm too tired to read most days :(
So after I got to my June read (Life After Life), I think I'm going for something lighter: Artemis Fowl

And then maybe City of Fallen Angels...

I'm thinking of finally reading Don Quixote which has been on my to-read list forever, then maybe The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey. I'm trying to read books that I have sitting on the shelves at home :)

Ooh! Perfect!

Okay, I read Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone in June, so I think I'll read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in July.

Maybe Life of Pi or I Am Number Four or Ready Player One.

Ooh! Or Frankenstein or Beautiful Creatures


Looks like I will find something to read.

The Book of Lost Things and/or Tiger's Curse

I'm thinking Angels & Demons and City of Bones for my Adventure picks.

I will probably read and/or . I've had the 2nd one on my TBR for ages. Maybe I will finally get to it.

I had planned to read A Song of Ice and Fire, 5 Book Set Series: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons over the summer and as they are all on this shelf I'm going to stick with that.

I have The Lord of the Rings sitting there waiting to be revisited and as I'm travelling over July I'll be interested to see how much I can get through during long plane trips.

Wow, this looks like a fun shelf. :) I've read 16 on the first page!

I keep getting sidetracked from our monthly shelves by different reading challenges, but hopefully I can read a bit off of this shelf for July. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is on my neglected LOST list, so that would be good to get to.

Graceling and A Game of Thrones I've been thinking about for a while, but I probably won't start both of them since they are both part of a series. Or I might start the City of Bones series... hmm, decisions, decisions.

I plan to read The Knife of Never Letting Go or Deception Point, Map of Bones: A Sigma Force Novel, or Don Quixote: Abridged Edition. Or maybe Eldest or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. So many good books to choose from!

This is a really tough choice, because there are so many to choose from.

First, I'll try (for the 3rd month in a row) to get to Shatter Me. But beyond that, I think I'll choose as the month goes along.

I'm planning on...

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
The Angel Experiment by James Patterson
The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

I read The Three Musketeers years ago and, while I don't remember alot of it, I do remember that I enjoyed it very much.

Finally time for me to finish the Harry Potter series!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Totally the opposite for me, I didn't finish :p

Will try again one day cuz I actually enjoyed Monte Cristo :)

I finished The Three Musketeers but I didn't enjoy it, didn't like the characters. I did enjoy The Count of Monte Cristo.

No clue what I'll read for this shelf. I figure tons of my books qualify so I guess I'll read what I like and then see if fits the shelf!

While I was waiting for my ADVENTURE books to come from the library, I started reading . Since this is book is on the ADVENTURE shelf, this will be my July read.

I will read City of Bones in preparation for the movie.

I really enjoyed the first 2 books. Sadly couldn't go through the 3rd so unlikely that I'll get onto 4 & 5 :p

So far I'm really enjoying the first... As long as it holds my interest, I'll keep going on with the series.

I am reading for July. If I finish it I will be moving on to more George R.R. Martin.

I'm going for for this month. I have some catching up to do... nearly middle of the month already :)

Still waiting for my other adventure books to come in the library....

While I'm waiting for my other "adventure" books to come from the library, I'm going to start reading . I enjoyed "Clan Of The Cave Bear" so much and this one has been sitting in my book case for awhile I thought I would try it (and it is on ADVENTURE shelf#-222).

I started reading Angels & Demons and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer but I did not like them. Divergent was delivered by the library over the weekend, so I will start reading that.

Billy Straight by Jonathan Kellerman
The Gandalara Cycle I by Randall Garrett
Pecked To Death By Ducks by Tim Cahill
