MML

My second submission to the MML category: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. Lots of highly mature themes, but just so amazing. The main character is absolutely wonderful. (It's short, too--Mike read it in one night, and I read it in two days at work.) I hope you love it as much as I do!

Easily Distracted

I feel like maybe I won't make it to 100...but I will definitely make it over 50 easy. I just keep getting distracted by things like Doctor Who and Veronica Mars and beach trips and getting a job (eeek!).

Also, The Hunger Games was added to my list months ago (recommended by my friend, Rebecca) and I found it on sale at Wal-mart last month so I bought it. Then I noticed everyone getting all excited about Mockingjay and thought, "Huh. Guess I could start reading The Hunger Games now." So I did. Like four days ago. And I just finished Catching Fire. And now I'm waiting (rather impatiently) for Rebecca to bring me Mockingjay so I can finish that and avoid more precious sleep. I didn't expect to get so sucked in, but am thoroughly enjoying the read. I love it when I do get sucked into books and I'm happy I've came across so many this year where that has happened.

The problem with getting sucked in is that the next book I read always seems to fall a little short and then I see something shiny and forget all about reading and it takes a month and a half to read 100 pages. Still, I'm doing better than I thought I would so that's something, right?
