...because I am incapable of putting a book down. Saturday we went to Barnes and Noble to use some gift cards that we all had. I picked some New York City guide books (that is what I am going to do with my sisters and mom for my 30th birthday) and also the second book in the series of The Girls with the Traveling Pants. I was saving that book for Thursday when I have to go to the dentist. But, yesterday, I was tired and bored and I had run out of Thank You notes (way behind on those) so I picked up The Second Summer of the Pants. Then I proceeded to read the entire book! It was a long book. I really thought I could stop. Really. I mean, I stopped when I had to fix supper. I stopped when I had to give the boys a bath. I stopped when I read Rhett and Noah their own books. Then they went to bed and sat down. Big mistake. I read until 12:30 am. Then it all over but me crying, "What have I done?"
Now I have nothing for Thursday. I am going to have to hope they have good magazines. Sigh...
You are definitely my daughter. If I am reading a good book, I want to do nothing but read! I can really lose myself in a good book.

Its okay Aimee. Justin bought me a book for Christmas (yes, another Christian romance centered on the Amish), and I read it in two days. Sometimes you just have to do that.

I love getting stuck in a book like that, although it is annoying when things like children and husbands and eating interfere! You'll just have to go back to B&N and get another!
ReplyDeleteI have been there, done that many many times. Main problem I have with it is that I'm so into it that I get really depressed when the book is done because I feel like I just lost some wonderful friends. It takes me a couple of days to get over it if I don't find another book quickly to fill the void. The problem with that is it then starts all over again. Does anyone else have that problem?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you enjoyed the book, but I was more excited to hear that you are getting to go to NY! You will LOVE it! I did and I would go back again and again.

There is nothing quite as good as sitting down with a good book and then just wondering where the day has gone!! And I love the Traveling Pants books. my oldest dd has read them all, so I did too!
