Reading TimeWarp


Have you ever been so caught up in a book that you lose all track of time and suddenly you look up and hours have passed and you had no idea? That totally happened to me yesterday when I read Breaking Dawn. I bought the book at Barnes and Noble, started reading it around 3:45 and the next time I looked up, it was about 5:30. Turns out my reading attention span is about 2 hours... so about every two hours I got a drink, took a potty break, at one point I popped popcorn and at 11:23 I closed the book on page 754 with a silly grin on my face! Yeah, I finished it in one sitting... is that a talent?

WHAT A GREAT BOOK!!!!

Wow!! It's seriously a great way to finish the series, everyone ends up in the best situation for their character-- which is just the way you want things to end :) It's old fashioned, romantic Edward; jealous, protective Jacob; and of course, overreacting, persuasive Bella. I loved that it has romance, adventure, mystery, challenge, teamwork, basically all the great characteristics of a great book! It was one of those books for me where I seriously wanted to read it again right away.

I've decided that being single and alone is ok when I want to be completely involved in a book-- there's no one to bother me, no dinner to make, no chores to do, no one nagging me because they don't understand how I can just sit and read for hours and hours on end... what a great day... I seriously LOVED the experience of reading this book... I am such a nerd :)
