For the bookworm.


"Part of me wanted to run away from him screaming, Fire! A more reckless part was tempted to see how close I could get without... combusting."

This past summer I started reading three different supernatural series.  It started with the "Beautiful Creatures" series (which I've recommended once before) that led me to the "Hush, Hush" series which ultimately led me to the "Fallen" series (busy little bookworm).  Reading is exhilarating.  It transports me to different times and places without ever leaving the warmth of my cozy couch (comfiness does amazing things for me).  Which is why I realized that since I am yet to start a "Book Club" (which I REALLY want to do) I could give all my suggestions to you.  

Okay, "Hush, Hush". Oh, where to begin.  Like I mentioned before I started the series this past summer.  I read one book after the other.  It was like I was starving and devouring my favorite pizza (I kid you not).  Every single moment I could spare I read.  Until I realized that the last book "Finale" would only come out in October.  I nearly had a heart attack.  Um, it was only June and I had to wait till October to find out what happens next? WHAT?  Needless to say I was b-u-m-m-e-d.  Though I desperately want to divulge all the reasons why I love this series, I don't want to spoil it.  I also didn't want the series to end, ever.  Which is why it took me so long to start the last novel.  A part of me knew that once I reached the very last page it would all be over, forever (until they come out with a movie version and ruin it completely).  And, to me, the ending of a book is depressing.  I become emotionally attached to the characters.  All I want to do is wear black and mourn.  So, I did something I have NEVER done before.  I read one chapter a day, sometimes two (hardest thing I've ever done).  I told myself that I would relish every moment I had left with Patch.  This Friday when I read the last page and set my I-pad down I instantaneously felt a void.  Yes, i am quite aware of how crazy this may sound (unless you are a book worm like me, which in that case you totally understand, support group, maybe?).  Yet, there is nothing I'd rather do than read, okay, maybe I like to eat a lot too. 

So, if you like forbidden love, you like all things supernatural and cheesy is your middle name, this is the series for you.  There were moments where Patch (one of the main characters) put Edward Cullen to shame.  Edward Cullen who? 

To fill that empty space I've taken the suggestion of a friend and have started "City of Bones" which is part of the Mortal Instrument's series.  I read the first chapter last night at like almost one in the morning.  As I get a little further into the novel I will be sure to give an update.  Now, get your tush off that couch and start reading "Hush, Hush", I'd love to hear your thoughts.
