Day 4

Now....this THP made me happy....but I am paying for it today. 

Ever since the whole twilight incident I have become very hesitant about young adult fiction.  I normally love any book as long as it's a good story but young adult is just as good and the books are usually cheaper so that is like an extra bonus.  A long time ago I bought a book about vampires and I got all excited because well I am crazy and love vampires.  But after reading this book i was so disappointed, the characters had no substance or soul....they were cardboard.   But then all this craziness happens about the twilight series and how great it is and i decided all YA's are crazy and although cheaper they are not worth it.
But this gossip blog i read and love, Lainey Gossip, also loves young adult when done correctly.  So she recommended this series called "The Hunger Games".  I saw it at Cole's on sale for 9.99, so i thought i should give it a chance.  While yesterday I started.....AND....finished the book.  I loved it, it was well written and interesting.  I was up until 1:30 finishing it.  I just had to finish it, i couldn't stop...although i am crazy tired and exhausted today.  I am dying to go to Cole's and buy the 2nd and 3rd instalments.

It is surprising sometimes how much something small like reading a book can make your day.

So...THP day 4 - successful, and each day I am feeling happier than before.  I know there will be back sliding moments.  But it is a lifetime battle to be happy...but this is one battle I am going to win!

  1. It will make me happy if you lend me all three of the books in the series when you are done so that I can read them without waiting 10 years on the library waiting list!
