Wow, lots of good books!
Happy Reading!
Nice group of books! I have Gateway, I need to start reading it s I've read mixed reviews of it and I want to form my own opinion.
War Dances sounds really good and I haven't heard of the invisable mountain or haruhi sumizaya so thanks for bringing that to my attention
OOh, I want to read Viola in Real Life. Enjoy!
woa!!! I own the magicians by Lev grossman but not yet reading and I wish for Her Fearful Symmetry…. can't wait for your reviews….
That was A LOT! I definitely in love with the cover of Niffenegger's and Connolly's books. Very eye-catching =)
Happy reading and do enjoy your week.
Oh wow, you got some AWESOME books! I wish I could go to one of those closing Waldenbooks. . .
I still don't understand this "crayon" concept, though – I guess because I don't know what PoC means.
I totally want to check out Nagaru Tanigawa, though!!
Wow, great list of books! I didn't know what crayons was either until I looked at the link at the top of your post.
Happy Reading!

When my Waldenbooks closed, there wasn't ANYTHING to be bought. (that I liked anyways) Good to see that your experience was different! (and way better!)
You got a huuuuge amount of books. I hope they're all good reads for you. (Especially Flipped-I read it and realy liked it!)
Great Idea with the videos! I just started doing some videos myself over at my blog.
Lev Grossman's The Magicians was excellent. I think you'll like it. Although its a bit more epic fantasy in nature, Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind is superb and has a similar theme of a young man learning magical skills.
Viola in Reel life sounds interesting. I'm assuming that there are elements of music involved in the book.
