Sorry *Michele*

Ok, I added you Michelle.

I have always rathered buying books than borrowing them from the library. For one, it's always nice to come home with a brand new item that no one else has gone through. Two, I am very bad at returning them on time, even if they've been read weeks prior.

Looks like I have got a LOT of reading to do. I am going to need something to do to make the time pass by a little faster over the next 5 and a half months! Looks like i've found things to keep me occupied enough.

Goodreads is great fun for finding books. I approved your friend request.

Yup, yup. It's on my listies!!

Sorry *Michele*

No problem, it's all good.

I'll read HP with you Michele. Of course,by now, I probably have them all memorized.

I love the Twilight series too. I actually just picked up Twilight to read again two days ago. I have to be careful though as I still have to get my reading done for my classes too. haha

I also enjoyed the trilogy put out by Christopher Paolini (Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr) as well as a series the kid has by Laurie Stolarz.

And you of course can't go wrong with JRR Tolkien. haha

My step dad got into Vince Flynn books and I've been reading those along with him. I think he's finally a couple of books ahead of me now so I can probably pick those back up again too. Like Jazz, I read super fast and get a little obsessed.

Oh and Janet Evanovich's books always seem to keep my attention. They're all very similar but a fun read anyway.

When I was younger I used to read Terry Brooks. I got to Running with the Demon and just couldn't get through it so I gave up on his stuff.

I have also read (and reread) the Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix (Sabriel, Lireal, and Abhorsen). I don't think I own a book I haven't read at least twice and there are many that have been read dozens of times.

I actually do have a library card (or two) but I prefer to own the books so I can read them again whenever I want.

When I was younger I read the Sweet Valley series. From when I was 7 I started with Sweet Valley Kids, then graduated to Sweet Valley Twins (middle school age), then to Sweet Valley High, then there was even a Sweet Valley University. I would be reading constantly as there was so many books in each generation. And of course there were my favourites that I read probably 10 or 15 times. I wish they were still around, but I am probably too old for them now anyways. Maybe not though if Twilight is supposed to be for teens.

The majority of what I read is considered YA and it is my preference. There is another author everyone might like because her books are romance style. Her name is Maria V Snyder. The books are Poison Study, Magic Study and Fire Study. They have action, a good storyline and romance.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Those sound good. I like romance, as long as it's got other stuff going on too!

That's me. There is enough action going on I couldn't understand why they were in the romance section.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Well that's good! I love books like that. With the exception of Twilight of course. *sigh*

I really like the male character in the book, and the female character the book is about is likable too.

Gosh darn all this book talk!

So, I picked up The Host last night. Mentioning it here had it on my brain all stinking day. It's a pretty long book and I made the mistake of picking it up sometime after 8 p.m. You think I would know better than to pick up a book like that so 'late' at night knowing full well it would e hard for me to put it down for something so trivial as sleep. I stayed up until I finished it around 4 a.m. and couldn't fall asleep until closer to 5 a.m. I hope this helps my overnight shift tonight!!

You know I bet it does.

 

[Belle Ella]

I hope so. It's funny that to get through work I need continues cafeine but when I'm reading a book all night I somehow manage to keep going on nothing but water and some snacks every now and again because I get so hungry!!

I'm so tempted to pick up another book right now, but if I do I'll have a hard time getting to work tonight!

OH, and hows this for fun -- My mother left a broken plasti container on the ground in our living room. Well, the klutz that I am tripped over and I got a nice scrap from my knee all the way down to my foot where it's a pretty nice gash. I am really looking forward to being on my feet all night!!

 

[Belle Ella]

Oh, and somebody stole half of our aluminum cans from our side yard that we were waiting to take to the recycling center. Yeah, there went some of my Disneyland saving money. I was so happy about that. I really hope they needed it, whoever it was.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Wow, you are a fast reader! I am sure if I didn't have so many distractions around me all the time, I would be a lot faster. I just started Eclipse again this morning, and I only stopped so I could go to the gym with a friend. Don't want to be putting that off. Now I plan to get back at it.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I am glad I am not the only klutzy one. That sounds painful though. Dillon was working on one of his arcade machines a couple weeks ago, and left one of the metal panels open. Of course I would be one to walk into it. Now I have a huge gash above my knee.

Oh no. I hope you will be okay.

I have been known to read on the treadmill at the gym.

I had an very painful infection in one of my breast once and I seemed to bump into things and hit it constantly. Now any other time I don't bump into things with the girls.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I definitely read if i am there by myself. But my friend and I get pretty chatty when we are there together, so I know there is no point in taking a book. It helps having a friend though, cause we end up working harder. We get to talking and before we know it, we've been running for 20 minutes. It seems easier.

Ouch! Isn't that always the way things go though?

And the beauty of the treadmill is that you can go at your own pace but still be together.
