Karen’s Book Nook

I just finished The Guy Not Taken and this one  came in from the library hold. I’m planning on reading it while reading Carol Goodman’s,  The Ghost Orchid because it’s a totally different type of book. Weiner is very light and funny and Goodman is much more deep and dark. Besides.. I always read Weiner super-fast and I’ve got tons of books to read!

’nuff said!

I don’t know anything about this one and haven’t heard a thing but I do know that I LOVED Carol Goodman’s  Lake of the Dead Languages so I’m betting that this will be a good one as well. I’m bumping it to the top of the list because it’s a library book.

As a fan of Jennifer Weiner, I immediately put this one  the guy not taken on hold as soon as I saw it. I can always read her books quickly and I believe that this one will be no different. Rather than a typical novel, it’s a series of short stories. I plan to hit this one up while the boys are off in the boat fishing for the day.

Just started this audio book to read while I’m doing things around the house. With the heatwave going on, I’ve been staying upstairs so I just play it while I’m soaking up the AC and getting things done in the kitchen.  It’s This Side of Married by Rachel Pastan.

This week’s Weekly Geek assignment is to post photos. Inspired by this badge, I’m posting my ever growing TBR pile(s). These are just the books that I have in my possession right now, not the audio books that I’ve downloaded that are in the queue, the books on order at the library, magazines yet to be read, or the books that I just want to read but don’t physically have. Never enough hours, never enough!

In the first picture, my books are separated out (L-R) non-fiction (mine), fiction (mine), fiction (borrowed from friends), and library books. These are all the books that I haven’t read yet. I always have a few current books going as well (home fiction and non-fiction, bag, car, work) The second picture is just a random pile. Judging by the looks of it, I’d best get reading! Finally, my favorite spot at home to read (and where I am right now.

Check out some fellow Weekly Geekers… Here’s Terri’s solution to a tempting TBR pile! Allesandra posts some nice photos of beautiful bookshelves, and Katherine has a huge alphabetically arranged bookshelf! The more I look, the more I know that I need to find some bookshelf space in my life. (These piles are just my TBR… I’ve got tons of books that I’ve already read which are piled under my bed and where ever I can find space, not to mention the fact that I’m a prolific library user!)

And Now.. I’m unplugging so I can open a book!
