A Bad Case of Book Goodness
So, I have this problem. A problem I have clearly passed down to my seven year old daughter. Here it is; Reading a great book before bed, then closing the book, then closing my eyes, then trying to stop thinking about the story long enough to fall asleep.
ARGH.
Can’t do it. Can’t turn off my brain. Can’t stop thinking about the story. I’ve used music, ocean sounds – my poor 7 year old daughter has taken to listening to another book – ON TAPE – to fall asleep. It’s madness.
Right now I’m reading Eloisa James’s WHEN BEAUTY TAMED THE BEAST, and it’s so damn good I have to stop myself in the middle of a chapter instead of a chapter ending because it’s less exciting and cliffhanger-y. (is that a word?)
What is the solution, I ask you? I can’t read the dictionary every night before bed, can I? And honestly, I’d probably find that moderately interesting too!
Ack. I guess there’s just no cure for a Bad Case of Book Goodness..

The Addiction of a Series
* I need to read the next book like yesterday!!
* I think I'll wait until they're all out, so I can read them one after the other!
*What about HIS story? What about HER story?
* I hope this series never ends!
Ha! These are all thoughts in my head as I read a great series. From the BDB to Wing Slayer Hunters to Demonica - I'm hooked and I LOVE it! Right now, I'm reading Lora Leigh's Breed series and as I do I have this sense of urgency - like I want to read them all so fast - I want to know what's going to happen to them - how they become a community - how they/if they finally get even with their tormentors.
Problem is, when I do read them all, when I've finally read every one, I'll feel a huge let down. It's as though my time with the Breeds is over and I'll never get to spend time in their interesting and sensual world again.
But I suppose those are the breaks, and the sign of a great series. So, I suppose I'll just put on a happy face and start all over again. Perhaps, with a new series like...say.. Karen Marie Moning's Darkfever?
What about you? What are your addictive series?

December. Seriously?
The holiday month is upon us and I cannot stop eating. Anyone else? Anyone? (tap tap tap..this thing on) I also still believe in Santa Claus, and can't wait for Christmas morning to see what he brought me:-) What about you, is there a special present OR a must-have book you're asking Santa for this year?
