Addicted To The Written Word

Approximately one day after college graduation, I discovered my new passion. Although it's not that new, cuz I've always loved to read, but having been novel-deprived for nearly five years....I've decided it's catch-up time. Since graduation, I have not spent a day not reading a book on some level or another. I'm pretty sure from this day forward, there will always be a book I'm reading. During the summers in college I was able to read a little bit. I managed to read the Harry Potter books as they were released (which still remains my all-time favorite books....I know twilight fans....I'm loyal it's true, but don't worry...Stephenie Meyer's books are my runners-up.

This weekend I finished Stephenie Meyer's new adult novel "The Host". For a sci-fi I cannot believe how much I loved it. I know I've read a good book when I can't stop thinking about it for days after I've finished. I think it's funny that I was so angry when I heard she actually took the time to release some book before "Breaking Dawn" (the 4th and final book of the twilight series, that does not come out until August 2nd).....but her marketing scheme worked. In my desperate attempt to read something while anxiously waiting the release of "Breaking Dawn".....I broke down and bought her book. And I'm not sorry I did. I absalutely loved it, and to all you twilight fans.....it's a good distraction and I would highly recomend "The Host" to anyone! Yep! Guys you too! It's got a love story(ies).....but it's not NEARLY as girly as twilight and its sequels.

So there's my blirb......if you wanna read a good book, pick up "The Host". It's an awesome book. One I'm proud to add to my collection.

Since graduation, I have read the following novels (note....I've been outa school for only a month and a half).

Twilight

New Moon

Eclipse

Wuthering Heights

The Host

and I am currently reading "Pride and Prejudice". I've also taken a liking to the classics. It's time to read them for enjoyment instead of as an assignment.

Wish me luck on boards! I'm leaving for Pocatello on Tuesday morning....YIKES!

Oh...p.s.

The opening song with this page is from Stephenie Meyer's playlist she created for "The Host". Pretty cool huh? She's picked songs to go with every chapter of every book she's ever written. LOVE IT!
