I can't even process the fact that he decided to go social LOL.<br />Cool, a Sicilian hubby. Was he actually born in Italy? Of course, I assume he speaks his native dialect, which is very peculiar. I was born (and live) in Tuscany, where the dialect sounds the most similar to Italian, but it's still a bit different.

Too bad I'm in Italy, and thrift stores are not an option (only a few of his book have been translated in Italian, and anyway, I decided to read the originals, so it's not like I can find them here).

Just the Remember Me trilogy and his Last Vampire series (which is now the Thirst series).<br /><br />Just keep an eye out at thrift stores. I've been seeing quite a few Christopher Pike and RL Stine books there.

That's one of the big projects I have on my To-Do list. I'm afraid to count my physical TBR piles, much less my wishlist books! And my nook books are another number I'm afraid to learn, as I've gone a little crazy with free downloads over the years.

You are ...Hey Girl,<br />Yes of course, we missed you :)<br />You are so organized. I am feeling soooo jealous! Just kidding!<br />Personally, I started writing TBR lists last year, when I opened my book blog. Until then I never needed them. I guess I just loved books, every genre and author. I used to read what I could get. Now I have become picky when it comes to books.

And while my dad was not one to let me spend money at the mall on clothes or shoes, or really anything that tween girls usually beg money for, he and my mom always let me buy books. It's a habit I've yet to break, but I really don't buy quite as many as I Kate @Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220575670960466054noreply@blogger.com
