Busy Busy

With just a month left of this semester my school work is becoming such a burden! So much to do and just not enough time. By the time I am off work the last thing I want to do is go to school or do homework but that has become my routine and much to my disappointment I have not been able to read very much :(

I have intentionally been rereading books because I love them of course but mainly because if I already know the outcome I am more okay to put the book down and get done what I need to do. I have a terrible habit of getting so into a book that I sacrifice things I need to get done (like school work and sleep) so to keep focused I am trying not to put myself in that situation! It really sucks though because I have recently found soooo many books I am interested in and I can't wait to dive into them!

Since I have found the wonderful online community of book enthusiasts I find myself jealous that everyone seems to be able to read so much more than me! I follow some sites where they seem to review a new book nearly everyday! I am thankful because I have been introduced to so many authors I might not have noticed but still part of me wishes I could read as much as them! I know we all have different jobs or things going on in our lives so some can read more than others but its ok to dream a little right!? I am definitely looking forward to winter break from school and I plan to read as much as possible :)

The title of my blog may seem a bit misleading, some may think this is a book blog but it is not. It is a personal blog. My own online journal. But I really do love books!!

Reviews

Lately I have been reading a lot of book reviews especially on books that I am on the fence about whether or not I should purchase. Some are so so helpful and I am very grateful for that! Others make me want to reach through my computer screen and slap the person that wrote them. My biggest pet peeve is people that just sum up the story. Um hello I'm reading your review because I am interested in READING the story I do NOT want you to tell me the entire story in a summary... It totally ruins it!! I understand everyone has different preferences but I am pretty sure most people are not reading reviews to find out what happens in the book. I read reviews to see if the majority of readers were able to read the book easily. Like did it flow good, pull you in where you couldn't put it down, did you relate to the characters, etc... Things like that are what I am interested in! Gah just had to vent a little :)

So today I am starting Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I have already read it before what seems like a really long time ago! Even if your a Twilight hater you know the movie is coming out soon (yippie) anyways I always make a point to read a book right before I see a movie because I like to be refreshed on the details! So here I am starting another book! School is crazy busy for me right now so I am not even sure I will finish it before the movie is out but I am going to try!
