Reading Rainbow

I LOVE to read, but I have a habit of reading more than one book at a time. I pick up one that I really like and then for some reason or another, I end up starting another before the other is finished. Right now, I am reading three books.  I'm on a vampire kick. Weird, I know. I have reasons though.. so hear me out.

Book One

I started reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert over three months ago and I have a confession to make..

I hate it.

It is so boring and I am literally having to force myself to read chapters just so I can get it over with. I really only picked it up because the movie comes to theaters in August with Julia Roberts as the star, and I love to read books before seeing the films so I can appreciate them more. Lots of people RAVE about this book, and it is on the NYTimes Bestsellers List, so that means it's good in my opinion. Maybe if I was a middle-aged woman going through a mid-life crisis I would identify better with the main character.

Or maybe I should just give up.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Book Two

I bought The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner at the beach last week and I am about halfway through. It is a short story with no chapters about a character in Eclipse: the third book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. It's a quick read and it goes more into character development. And, with the movie Eclipse coming out in a few short weeks, it will be interesting to see how Bree is portrayed in the film.

PS: I wish Stephenie Meyer would spell her name right..

Book Three

I recently joined Netflix and it has been one of the best investments I have made in a long time. For someone who really enjoys TV and movies, I am in heaven with all the options. I have been on a Lost kick and I am looking forward to starting the True Blood series after that. Therefore, I decided to start the novels by Charlaine Harris that True Blood is based on. The first book is Dead Until Dark, and I plan on starting it ASAP. Plus, my mom informed me that she has the ENTIRE series of novels and she is going to bring them with her when she comes to visit next month! Wahoo!

 Yeah, I know I'm a nerd. But I'm cool with it.

Have a happy weekend!
