Confessions of a book hooker.


I've been a novice reader most of my life. I've never been excited about a book coming out. Usually I'm several years behind. (I have never read Harry Potter) When movies come out I know. When a new song is going to be released I know. But books were not my thing for a long time. Oh how the times have changed.

So I humble admit I have been counting down the days for the fourth book in the Night Huntress Series to come out (which is 2 days away Sqeel) I even prebought it. Never have I done that before but I have next weekend all planned out so I can read...read...read. I have finally found my place in my little nerd world. I knew I'd arrived when a close friend started call me a book hooker. Yes, I confess I'm now a book hooker. I can't have a conversation without talking about one of the many books I have near me these days. I could be doing worse things so I think being a book hooker is just fine with me.

While I'm not reading classic literature, I am enjoying my escape into a great world of make believe that entertains and lets me lose myself safely in the worlds of others. And what better way to spend all that time we wait for others than reading. I love it!

Sincerely,
The Book Hooker

Hello there! I've had the summer off from classes for the first time in I don't know how long so I got bored and started reading one day. That was either a big mistake or the best step ever. I've not been able to put down a book since then. I've found myself drawn to and hopelessly addicted to Paranormal Romance. Not really sure how that happened since I never really liked Romance books to start with but it happened and I'm not going to fight it.

As a lot of us late bloomers to the Paranormal Romance arena, I stumbled on to it by breaking down while fighting insomnia and reading the Twilight Saga. I liked it and at the time it was the best I'd read ever. Then I attempted to make myself read The Host. I picked it up like 4 times before making myself push through the first 4 chapters and then I was hooked.

Then by some odd chance I was surfing through an ebook retailer that had a bundle of these books that looked somewhat interesting and since I had some credit I bought them. Let me just say that we never know that a simple choice make will alter our universe until its too late. Who? What? You ask? An extremely talented writer name Jeaniene Frost and a little series called The Night Huntress Series: Halfway to the Grave; One Foot in the Grave; & At Graves End. I'll go on about them more later. My point with those are simply, I had no idea that there was someone out there who got it. The humor, the action, the romance, and the human side of the paranormal. ha! ha! The series is addictive and I've been waiting to get the 4th one that comes out later this month. I've moved on while waiting to the Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Series featuring Sookie Stackhouse. While I'm not a fan of the TruBlood series I've grown to be in love with the world of Bon Temps and its creative inhabitants. (I'll review some of them at some point)

As for now, I'm just getting caught up in the world of paranormal romance. I'll keep you posted on my progress and please feel free to let me know your opinions or even give me some suggested reading material. I love getting lost in the world of make believe where the boogyman is prince charming!
