Too Busy Reading to Write!

A while ago, I listed the books and other reading materials that were sitting on my bedside table and among these was 'Twilight', the first of the Stephenie Meyer series. Since that post, I have devoured 'Twilight' and I am about three quarters of the way through 'New Moon'. Now I understand what everyone has been talking about!

I am at the stage where I read for as long as I can when I go to bed at night before I start nodding off to sleep, but keep trying to read on despite my drooping eyes! Last night, I actually gave in to the need for sleep, but within about 15 minutes, I had turned the lamp on again and picked up the book, my desperation to keep reading to find out what happens next outweighing my need for sleep and the knowledge of how miserable I was going to feel the next morning. Predictably, I did feel pretty average when I woke up this morning, but it was worth it!

I'm still somewhat surprised at how 'into' the series I have become - it's a story about vampires and werewolves, for goodness sake! It is testament to the skill of the storyteller, Meyer, that she has been so successful in the creation of such characters and integrating them into a believable context. The best part is that once I'm finished this book, there are still more to look forward to reading in the series.

Anyway, I hope you understand if I seem to be rushing off. I have some reading to do...
