It is officially the last day of school for me today. I work some over the summer, so I'm in my library pretty often, but today I went through the shelves and picked all the books that I wanted to read over the summer. Well, the ones that were returned -- I'm still waiting for some to come back. So here's a picture of the stacks behind my desk. I'll bring them home a few at a time. The stacks on the left and right are for our state's reading incentive programs, and I'm trying to read as many of those as I can, since I have to give book talks to our area school librarians in July. The two middle stacks are just books that I've had on my TBR. So, do you think I can make it? I think I can. I will have more time to read, and hopefully I can read most of these in the next three months. Wish me luck!
From P
arajunkee's View, this weeks Follow Friday question:
Q. How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?
Currently I read about 3 - 4 books per week. I can't always keep that pace, but lately that's what I've been able to do. I'm also always listening to a book in the car, but those usually take me a couple of weeks to finish.
From
Crazy-for-Books, this week the question is:
"What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked? Which have you disliked?"
I'm usually disappointed in book-to-movies. I guess
Harry Potter comes to mind as a good one. I think
Holes was pretty good. I can't think of any really bad ones right now, but I know there are a lot of them! I'll add them later if I can think of any.
Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for visiting. I hope to get to hop and follow a little later today!
I picked Harry Potter too! Love the fact that those movies stay true to the book and the actors that portray the characters are pretty much perfect!
ReplyDeleteYeah for Summer! I really hope you get lots of reading in!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Follow Friday
I'm reading two to three books a week right now. I'm behind on reviews and when that happens, I try to slow down my reading so I don't get even more behind. Hopefully I can catch up today!
ReplyDeleteI also picked Harry Potter!
Have a great holiday weekend!

Books-to-movie adaptations often disappoint me, too. i haven't read HP, but I saw some movies and I liked them.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays ans enjoy your reading!
Beyond strange new words
Wow! I wish I could read that many books in a week!
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time choosing a bad adaptation as well because there are so many of them.
Stop making me jealous! Last day of school here in the UK is 22nd July :(
ReplyDeleteI have a week off next week, but then it's a seven week stretch til the end of term. I am in shock that you guys get three months off, we get six weeks for summer :O
I thought Lord of the Rings was a pretty good adaptation.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, what happens if a student doesn't return a book by the last day of school?
Harry Potter is definitely one of the better ones.
ReplyDeleteHopping by from FF. Hope you have a good weekend.

Good luck on all that reading! Those are some pretty ambitious TBR stacks!
ReplyDeleteI listen to books in my car too! I try to just stick to books that are light fun reads because when you are only listening to 10 minutes at a time you don't want to do anything to heavy.
Have a great weekend!
