Readers Help Me Out

[Misty Cato]

I get most of my reading material from the library, which means I often have to wait a few weeks to get the books I want. Occasionally several books on my wait list all come in at the same time.

The following books all came in this week and while I think I might be able to get through all of them before they are due, I probably won't, so I need to prioritize. Of these books, what should I read first?

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
City of Women by David R. Gillham
Wool by Hugh Howey
The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel

[lingovise]

I looooved Wool.

[tanyiadeskins]

ugh I haven't read any of those but my dh absolutely loved Wool.

[Libby Pritchett]

Wool!!!!!!!!!!

[nikkiARNGwife]

Wool

City of Women is good too but I'd read Wool first

[YepBrook]

WOOOOOL!

[adi&co.]

i've never heard of these books but I guess I need to look up wool!

[scrapsuzy]

Haven't read any of these, but I just added them all to my Kindle Wish List! And from looking at them, I'd probably read "Wool" first.

That's what I was thinking. Though I need another book for my TBR pile like I need a hole in my head. I tend to read mostly YA or Romance, but am always up for something good.

I'd recommend Wool too, because it's a great story AND it's a pretty quick read, so you might be able to get on to the other books quickly.

[Misty Cato]

Thanks, everyone. Wool ended up on my toead list because so many of you had it on your list of favorite books you read last year. I'll start there.

Why have I never heard of Wool? I usually rely on Nikki and her posts to tell me what to read next !

[SeattleSheri]

I'm an avid reader, but haven't heard of Wool, so I'm adding it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!

[MissKim]

I love WOOL but Dark Places was good as well. It's dark, though.

[BrattyMeg]

wool I devoured the series

[glumirk]

My MIL let me in on the secret that if you put your Kindle on airplane mode you can keep your books longer.

[kristalund]

yah i have four more books to add to my must read list

[jovi_girl]

i bought wool awhile ago just because everyone here loved it so much. Its next on my TBR pile! cant wait to see what everyone is raving about!

Yeap! I've done that before!

[adi&co.]

Wool is on amazon for free! I just got it on my son's kindle

[Libby Pritchett]

Wool part 1 is free... it's actually 5 parts that make up the whole book. But it would give you a little taste of what it's about to see if you want to read the rest (and you will cause it juts gets better and better).

There are 2 other books in the series after this, too. Shift & Dust.

[breakingbrie]

Oooh, I've been looking for some new books to read!!

These all look really good!

Ok MIsty, I have to know... did you finish Wool yet!?!

[emmasmommy]

I LOVE Gillian Flynn. LOVE

[Libby Pritchett]

Laura, the only thing I"ve read by her is Gone Girl, but I"ve got 2 others on hold at my library. I can't WAIT to get them!

[Misty Cato]

I did finish it Libby. I really enjoyed it. It's not my typical genre, so that's saying a lot.

[adi&co.]

did you just read wool one or did you read the whole thing? I read the whole thing after reading this thread and it was actually pretty good! I was disappointed by the second part, and the ending to the whole thing, but the rest was really good.

[Misty Cato]

I just read Wool. I'd like to read the rest eventually, but I was ready for something different after I finished the first one.

Bummer that you found the ending unsatisfying. I really hate it when that happens.

[adi&co.]

it just ended abruptly. I tend to dislike endings of books anyway like the end of the hunger games series made me throw the book, haha!

[Libby Pritchett]

Adi, did you read Shift & Dust, too? Those will fill in a lot of the information that you find missing in the ending of Wool (though admittedly, Shift raises more questions than it answers, I think).

[ksbella]

I havent heard of some of these books, so certainly adding them to my reading list!!

[bexy]

i've been putting Wool on the back burner for awhile - i guess i need to get on that one!

are shift and dust a part of the wool omnibus? I read that... I dont remember seeing anything about shift and dust though so I'm thinking they're separate books?

[Libby Pritchett]

Right... There's the Wool Omnibus which consists of 5 parts. Then there's a whole separate book called Shift Omnibus (3 parts) and another called Dust.

Both of them are available for lending on Lendle if you don't want to buy it. (I borrowed them myself or I'd offer to lend them to you)

[adi&co.]

oh thanks! Looking at lendle (i've never heard of it before!) there's a 6-8 of wool too. I wonder if I shoudl read those first..

[Libby Pritchett]

I *think* Wool 6-8 is actually Shift 1-3. LOL It's all so confusing cause originally it was released as a series of short stories. Then, they were packaged as books. So, I think that's why the number is so weird there.
