It rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong... It rains where you're here and it rains when you're gone..

 I have been a huge bookworm lately and I love it.  I am a particular fan of fantasy type worlds where you get sucked into the story and are just literally part of another world as you read.  Call me nerdy, call it what you want, but I absolutely LOVE it.. 

What better escape from reality is there?  I am not sure I know of one. 

A good book drags you in and makes you never want to stop reading.  You just keep going and going because you are dying to find out what happens next.  This is what makes a good writer.  Its interesting, it has twists, it surprises you, and it makes you feel like you are right there, witnessing the whole thing.  Oh, nothing better, nothing better!  What I would do to be a part of these stories! 

Without having a good book to read now, I just feel a little lonely and sad; what am I supposed to do with spare time when I have no homework to work on?  Or when I'm not with friends?  Or when Brett is doing other stuff and I am just kind of hanging out at his house?  Let me tell you, there is certainly not enough on TV to keep me entertained ALL the time, even with like a ton of channels (they are all awful for the most part).

 
Due to my new bookworm-ish ways, some of my entries are certainly going to be book reviews or recommendations.  I hope people find it helpful in searching for their own reading material!  So I will end this entry by beginning my recommendations/reviews :-)

I am starting book 2 of Harry Potter, and have several other book series I am currently working on.  my top three series currently are:

Harry Potter
The Hunger Games 
Percy Jackson and the Olympians

I would highly recommend all of them if you are into the fantasy gig.  The Hunger games is a little different, a little more realistic.. and as brett describes it, "Post-Apocalyptic" but its a very good read and I would highly recommend it.  The first few chapters are a little slow, but necessary to introduce you to the characters and build up the story surrounding the "games" and the living atmosphere?  Not sure how to address it without giving it away!

Now I'm off to start Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! :-)
