I love to read.
I really love to read. When I was a child, my parents would have to make me stop eating to come eat. I read at breakfast with the book propped up behind the cereal bowl and my parents were constantly confiscating flashlights that I used to read under my covers.
I developed a way of reading that totally shuts out the rest of the world. It drives my husband insane. When I am reading a novel, I don't hear anything going on around me, even if you are speaking to me. And when I get engrossed in a novel, it pulls me back until I can finally finish it.
I never started the last four Harry Potters because when I started them, I just couldn't put them down. This week I read The Thirteenth Tale which was very interesting. I would recommend that novel to people who like a little mystery and suspense without being scary. Today I finished Twilight because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Yeah the end was good but the rest of it was just mushy-gushy. I already have the second book checked out from the library and I'll probably read it since its there but.... I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I was really expecting more.
I'm going to do an end of the year post about the books I read this year and I hope you'll give me your very best recommendations for 2009. Life is too short to read mediocre books.

Have you read the Twiglight series? I read all four over Thanksgiving break. They're really good. What about anything by Harlan Coben? I read his books last summer- he's a great mystery writer. What about The Shack? It's an interesting take on a man who meets the Trinity in the midst of a rough season of life.
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. Really, really enjoyed this book.
I am on the second book in the Twilight series. I have read The Shack but I haven't read anything by Harlan Coben. I'll look for The Art of Racing Rain, Deb- thanks! I'm going to start making my 2009 list!
