As I was running through my humble collection of books today (I know, a little late at night, right? Well, I was cleaning, it's what I do.) I noticed that I will run out of things to read pretty soon. I'm down to two books. One is fairly large, so I'll be reading it for a while, especially since school started up. The other is just a normal novel, and I should be able to finish it pretty quickly if I stay devoted!
But, back to the problem. I'm running out of books to read, and I'm not sure I want to go back and read them through a second (or third, or fourth) time.
So, it's time to hit the bookstore. Barnes and Noble--my home away from home. Mmm. That place just makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Well, as I was thinking about what books I'd like to buy, I realized that what's out there now are books I'm completely unfamiliar with. I can't walk straight into B&N anymore without browsing through hundreds of books, which sometimes takes me a few hours.
What I want to read is something romantic, but not gushy. Fantasy, but not cheesy. And please, no vampires. I'm done with the good-looking, sparkling in the sun dudes. In fact, I think most people are, which is fantastic. I want something that could be real, while being made up all at the same time. Because I make no sense, this is an ordeal I have to solve on my own.
So, scrolling through books (online, this time) I haven't seemed to find one that I really like yet. I've read all the Mortal Instruments (ages ago) and blown through plenty of deep literature. Now it's time for the floofy stuff.
Bring it on, self. Here's your next big challenge.
(Not like school is important or anything....totally kidding, it's important, just not very exciting. If you know what I mean.)
Have you read Cinder, there are two books out in the series, Cinder and Scarlett. I really liked both of them, the second even more than the first.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely look into them! Thanks Carole :)
