Oh, and I ordered the entire Sookie Stackhouse series which got rave reviews from Misty. So it should come today in the mail...I am Soooooooooo excited!!! If you never hear from me on the boards again its because she also gave me about 40 new book ideas and I am absorbed in them. lol

Sorry Shannon...NOT I have honestly gone off the deep end with this reading thing. Who knew? I know I used to love BK. (Before Kids...that is how I reference things!)

Now...I am constantly writing authors down...I could spend an entire day at the bookstore just smelling the books! I am weird, I know it.

I think I'll have it read honestly I'm on page 390! I think I'll probably finish it tonight...I just had to have Chasity hide it until I get the house cleaned....

James planned a romantic night including getting an overnight trip for the kids to his parents.....um think he'd mind if I read him twilight???

LOL OMG Chelle read to him outloud! What could be more romantic? But then again you dont want HIM getting hooked on Twilight too....then everyone would starve and the house would never get cleaned!

Misty- if I ever come down to Texas we will have to camp out in a Barnes and Noble for a few days. Seriously if they had hotel rooms to rent in the middle of a bookstore I would stay there on weekends. (Oh...and is my typing a little less "Yankee" than my voice? I got a kick out of that...)

Shannon...seriously!!! I am pathetic but for my "breaks" that I get from the kiddos...I don't use the gift certificates for massages or pedicures...oh no...I go & hole myself up at our Hastings book store!

Ok THATS bad. I would take a massage WHILE I am reading. I am sure the massage therapist wouldnt mind right?

Adrienne- you felt that 'My sisters keeper' was predictable?? Girl you must be way more intuitive than me!! I was totally caught off guard by the ending. But you know...when you compare that book to the Twilight series it does pale in comparison.

And I guess you are right about skipping the first book. I need to go watch the movie again. I watched the movie, then read the book and I vaguely remember the movie now that I read the whole series. So I recant my statement about it being ok to skip the book...the character backgrounds is VERY important. DOnt listen to me...

It does really pale in comparison to Twilight and to The Shack. Every book I read now since reading the shack, other then twilight of course, has been just okay. LOL And yeah As soon as he got called out I knew what it was going to be, I don't know why it came as so predictable to me but I wasn't surprised. It was still a good book just not great in my opinion. LOL

And yes don't listen to Shannon! It is mainly because of what they tell you about Alice in the book that they never even touch on in the movie that I feel is really really important to know.

I work at a bookstore.....LOL I can and do spend hours just looking through books. I went in today even though it was my day off simply because I had spare time and no kids with me, I actually managed to find one of the dark hunter series by Sherilyn Kenyon that I had searched for a few days ago and couldn't find. I totally feel you on the whole addicted to reading thing.



Okay so today while I was in the store, my boss gave me my Christmas present, the WHOLE Twilight series.....Then she took new moon back.
Now let me explain, she was supposed to have gotten another copy of new moon for another customer but ended up with 2 copies of twilight instead so I told her to go ahead and take my copy of new moon to give to the customer. She went online and ordered me another copy of it right away but then found out that I had already read twilight and needed to move onto new moon next so she called MY husband and asked him to stop at walmart to pick it up for her to give to me. So with luck by tonight I will be reading New Moon instead of wrapping my kids Christmas presents. LOL

Ok ALL of the Sookie Stackhouse books came today Fed Ex. Omg they are on my counter and I am rushing through my casenotes for work so I can absorb myself in them for the next 4 days. I have no kids besides Delaney tomorrow night and DH is not home either because he is on midnights. I have a feeling I will be pulling a midnight shift reading!!! I am so excited!!!

And OMG if I worked in a bookstore I would get fired because I would be looking through all the books and ignoring the customers.

EEEEK, I can't wait to discuss them with you Shannon! YOu have to do updates as to where you are in each book!

Haha lucky for me the owner is one of my best friends so I don't have to worry about getting fired for looking at books. LOL

So I am bad bad bad! I promised myself to not be stupid and stay up late reading but of course I dove into new moon last night then read until 1:30 in the morning. I didn't even hear my alarm going off, thank goodness Kirk hadn't left for work and was able to come wake me up.

I'm done! I finished last night about 7....OMG it was awesome....I can't wait to go get the next one...I thought about running in Wally today....but if I don't wait til Friday I won't get Christmas dinner fixed tomorrow! lol

I have just started on the first book of the Sookie Stackhouse series...so far so good. And for some reason Barnes and Noble just sent me an entire duplicate of the whole set still in plastic...no idea why??? Now I have to sell the other set on ebay or something. Cant figure it out.

Woot finished New Moon last night! Managed to get it done before I had to start wrapping, it would have killed me to not be able to finish it! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to start the third, which if I luck out and the kids leave me alone for a tiny bit today then i can start reading it!

Oh I was the same way Adrienne....just crawling out of my skin to read the next one. I am still bummed the series ended.....

Well hopefully the author will decide to complete midnight sun so that we can have a 5th of it at least! I know I am going to be so upset when I am done them. I almost considered starting a different book today but then changed my mind and started Eclipse anyway. LOL I couldn't help myself! Although I haven't had much time to read it, I do get a full 2 hours to read it tomorrow on the drive to my sister's house though.

I got New Moon today.....since I went to Meijer to get Aaron's script....I was going to just get the rest of the set...but they didn't have any at all, except the 1 book I got...and I got the last copy!

Hopefully you'll find the last 2 before you finish new moon Chelle.

I finished Eclipse today, awesome awesome awesome read! I promised my husband that I wouldn't start reading Breaking Dawn until tomorrow though, I guess he might be feeling neglected.
LOL

Almost done with the first Sookie Stackhouse book...I like it and am glad there are more to read when I get home. But school starts again for me January 12th I believe and I have to have them all done by then so I can focus. I get way too wrapped up in reading.

I hope that the Twilight series author makes another book too! That would be so great. I still want to read more and find out how things turned out a few years out from the last book with certain people. I am not going to say more than that and ruin it for Adrienne.....

I just got done reading Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark. It was good....different than Twilight good though, so I wouldnt categorize it with the craze going on. But it makes you want to read the rest of the series for sure, and I like when I can get into a character and Sookie Stackhouse is easy to get into.

But now I got a few books from the Fever Series in the mail and am torn between continuing with this series and starting one of those....hhhhmmmmmmm.....
