Addicted

I absolutely LOVE summer time. I love that its warm...but hopefully not too warm...I love being able to go swimming and running and being outside. I also love the break from school and stressing about tessts and studying and such. That may make the next thing I love sound a little strange, but I LOVE summer because I actually have time to read. Wait, let me clarify that, time to read FUN books, not so much text books.

But I think I might like reading a little too much. Once I start into a book, I'm hooked, and I can't stop. I block out everything around me and I get completely absorbed in the story. It's a little out of control really. For the last few days I've been locked into Stephenie Meyers new book "The Host". I haven't been able to put it down. Last night, I stayed up reading it until 2:00 in the morning. I talked to my Mom the other day and she was asking what I've been doing. All I had to say was, "Well, I just started reading a new book.." She stopped me and said, "Never mind, I know EXACTLY what you've been doing." :)



The sad thing is, I don't know if I really even like the book that much! It's very sci-fi with aliens taking over people's bodies and then taking over the world. Definately not the kind of book I'm into. But I can't stop reading it. I'm completely addicted! I have to give her credit though, Stephenie Meyer is a really good writer. While I'm reading I don't think the story is strange at all. The way she writes it makes it seem like it's perfectly logical for aliens to come down and take over (kind of like it makes sense to have a crush on a vampire named Edward). It's only when I've taken a break and come up for air that it seems so dumb and I wonder why I keep reading. But then I always pick it back up again. I have to find out what happens! Speaking of which, I'm probably going to go read agian. I've almost finished it now though, and then maybe I can catch up on some sleep...then again, there is this other book I want to read...
