Readers Help Me Out

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

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