US meets UK

I bought Twilight (and the other 3 books)…Waterstone’s had it’s 3 for 2 sale so… I mean, come on, NOT buying books on sale borders on criminal! After having discussions with other bees, with Rachel and finally with Beth – I couldn’t take it anymore. Beth is like my book pusher, I still remember on a vacation to Hilton Head island I made fun of her for reading Harry Potter. She told me not to judge a book till I read it, so after she finished I borrowed the book. Needless to say I’ve read each one several times.

So although I was able to resist multiple friends (both online and in the tangible world) I was powerless to resist Beth’s suggestion. The only problem with books like these, is that I literally consume them. I read all 4 books in slightly more than day. My name is Christiana and I have a problem. Although I will always place HP above the Twilight series, I’m just glad I didn’t discover the HP books all at the same time. Nick would have lost me for days instead of just the one. Also lucky? That Man Utd had a match the night I started reading Twilight, other wise Nick might have felt a bit neglected. I’m really grateful for a future husband who supports his future wife’s “healthy” addictions.

I’ve also realized that as much as I try to resist the fantasy genre, it just won’t work. The books/series that have consumed me have been the Xanth series (I was in elementary/middle school, but they still rule!), Anne Rice (the Mayfair Witches series), Harry Potter and Twilight. I don’t know why I fight the urge, silly Christiana.

So now I turn to you, recommend a book (or a series) for me to read!
