I'm on a total reading binge right now. I've always loved reading and used to borrow or buy new books regularly, but over the last couple of years my reading has become a lot more sporadic - I can go months without picking up a single book.
The thing is, once I do I'm immediately reminded of how much I LOVE a good book and will go on a week or two long binge of reading NON-STOP. As in, not much gets done and I stay up waaay too late. It's real fun for Russ and the kids.
If you're not sure of what I mean by non-stop, I mean that it's Thursday and I'm about to start my fourth book THIS week. (Downloading books on my kindle is just way too convenient.) Yesterday I was finishing The Help and I'll just tell you that it's a miracle my family ate last night because I could not put it down. So we had blueberry pancakes and I read in between flipping them on the griddle. I read in the bathroom. I read into the wee hours of the night and might be a little bleary eyed this morning. That was ONE GOOD BOOK.
Oh how I love a good book. But I'm only going to read one or two more and then I'll need a break again, if for nothing else than to win back the love and affection of my family that I've abandoned ;)

The Help is on my list as one of my favorite books. There will be a movie based on it coming out in August ;)
ReplyDeleteI just started reading the Help... so I'm glad I have some motivation to finish it because it was starting a bit slow for my tastes... press on I will!
ReplyDeleteThe Help is on my to-read list too!
ReplyDeleteI just finished Annabel - loved it! The Birth House is another recent fave!
I'll have to look those ones up, thanks! Kelly definitely stick with it - my fave read so far this year. And I now cannot WAIT for the movie!!
ReplyDeleteI am exactly the same! I started checking in with Friday Reads on Twitter and I can't get enough. The kindle is dangerous that way. Haven't heard of The Help, I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteok, that settles it...I am downloading The Help on my kindle in the morning. If Blake is that talented behind the camera, I bet he could whip up some dinner so you could keep reading!
ReplyDeleteSO glad you read The Help and loved it as much as I did! We will for sure be seeing that movie!
ReplyDeleteThe Help, is an amazing book. I couldn't put it down. And I am so excited for the movie. I have heard good things. :) I am glad you liked it as well.
ReplyDeleteI'll trust everybody's word and be in to watch the movie ha ha. Hey great picture taking Beeper !! Sarah cracked me up, bet he'd love a go at making dinner, he already makes a mean cup of tea with dish water! ;D
