Chatterbox: Blab About Books
What's In Your Pile?
I do not...
I do not know about you, but the pile of books that I am currently reading is quite tall (approx. 4'9"). so, this is simply a thread upon which you may exert the prolification of the books that you have bookmarks inside, whether those bookmarks be truly bookmarks or they be mentally located, as in my case, although I do not recall some of my pages and chapters that I am located upon...
well. let us get started, shall we?
a small selection of the books that I recall:
Vanderbeekers: Make a Wish
Warriors: Dawn of the Clans: A Forest Divided (re-read)
Pax
Inkheart

I am incredibly sad because I do not have that many books right now...it's the saddest thing. However, I plan to go to the library on Saturday, so my book deprivation won't last long. My small pile includes:
1. the fault in our stars by john green
2. divergent by veronica roth
3. holes by louis sachar (i watched the movie so...)
4. everything, everything by nicola yoon
5. ember queen by laura sebastian
That's it. I usually have about 15-20 books on hand because I read so. much. Which is why this feels so tiny. But normal people (aka half my friend group) probably reads a book per month, which saddens me.

This Would Make a Good Story Someday
