I love buying new books even though I have a s**t ton of books i haven't read yet.

I enjoy getting new books as well. Though in my case, it isn't that I haven't read the books I already have - it's the fact that I've run out of room on my bookshelf for books and now they're starting to take over my window seat. xd

My uncle gave me a ton of books for my kindle. Though I'm buying the series I really enjoy. I need to pick up The Hunger Games one of these days.

Nice! biggrin The Hunger Games is pretty enjoyable.

Catching Fire was my favorite. Finnick is my favorite character.

Still determining which book was my favorite and who's my favorite character. Though I do know that if I lived in that universe, I would want to be in District 7.

I honestly can't remember the districts. Except district 4 being the water district. I've only read them once and that was two years ago.

Bought A Song of Ice and Fire.

Excited to start reading it! I want to finish Half Blood Prince though since I'm about 60% done.

I'm currently a third of the way through Game of Thrones. I've been enjoying it so far. 3nodding Quite impressed with how well they did the book-to-TV series conversion.  

[Mama Ame]

Yeah I'm watching the series and I'm really curious to read it.  

[Mama Ame]

I'm hoping once I start them it doesn't completely ruin my reading goal. Its been taking me forever to read a Harry Potter book (that used to take me maybe two days)

Yeah... they're pretty big books. It's not that hard to get through them when you don't have any distractions interrupting you. But it might take a bit longer to get through if you have other engagements asking for your attention. Just based off of how my reading progress through Game of Thrones has gone so far.

If its nice out I get more reading time during the day, because I let the girls play outside and I read outside. If its ugly out they want me to play with them inside..which is fine obviously. But those days I don't get to read until bedtime. And usually then I only want to read about 45 minutes to an hour before I'm tired  

[Mama Ame]

I started. So far I'm really impressed by how close the show is following the books. The biggest difference I can see so far is the ages of the characters are different. Everyone is a lot younger in the books than in the show. Though I can understand why they made them older for the show. It was surprising hearing that Ned is only 35 at the beginning of this book though!

If I don't have anything else I want to do during the afternoon, I usually go out in the living room and read. Usually can get up to 3 hours that way before I have to stop for dinner. When I'm unable to find time to read during the day and want to get some reading in, I read just before I officially settle down to go to sleep. I usually listen to music for an hour when I'm in bed going to sleep; so when I want to read, I use it as my timer for reading, lol. xd

Yeah, same here.
