It’s Thursday and you know what that means…another edition of Booking Through Thursday is here.
This week’s question is: What books do you have next to your bed right now? How about other places in the house? What are you reading?
As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words…
(Apologies for the super-craptasical camera phone picture quality.)
Rundown of the books are: Reading Like A Writer by Francine Prose; The Eyes of the Amaryllis by Natalie Babbitt; Goody Hall by Natalie Babbitt; The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan; Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen; White Cat by Holly Black; Ash by Malinda Lo; Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater; The Invisible Gorilla by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons; A Wish After Midnight by Zetta Elliot; The Metamorphoses by Ovid (which is concealed); Bite Me by Christopher Moore; The Rural Life by Verlyn Klinkenborg; The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot; The Autobiography of an Execution by David R. Dow; and The Hollow by Jessica Verday.
And probably not surprisingly, I also have a stack of books on the floor near my bed, but I’ll spare you. 
As for having books in other places in the house, um…of course. An easier question would be, where don’t I have books?
Right now my reading is rotating between three books. Having finished The Unwritten Rule on Sunday and slated to complete Dork Diaries (Book 2) today, I will be working Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready into the mix with Stolen by Lucy Christopher and Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell. (I’m a mood-based reader, hence the seemingly random book pool.)

The Eyes of the Amaryllis is one of my most favorite books in the world! I always get all thrilled when its title appears. Hope you enjoy it!

Oh, man. I think that seeing more and more people posting about this is actually making me feel even more guilty about my crazy-ass pile!
Here‘s my post, if you want to take a look!

I finished The Eyes of the Amaryllis and it was such a sweet story with a touch of creepy. Still, though, I think Tuck Everlasting remains my favorite Natalie Babbitt book…then again, I still have to read Good Hall.

Why would you feel worse? If anything, you should feel proud–you’re making TBR mountains and wishlists grow by the truckload.
(And just so you know, My own piles could rival yours, but I decided it was best to spare everyone the photos. They would make most sane people shudder and curl into a fetal ball. Be glad your own piles are as neat as they are. ^_^)

The David Dow book bugs me because he doesn’t use quotation marks around dialogue, but you get used to it. I love Reading Like a Writer, though. It flows so well the pages float by.
