my friend tells me, you need to read Harry Potter - read em all

my other friend tells me, you need to read Twilight - read em all in a span of 2 weeks & even read all night long to finish the 1st one before the movie came out. all night, as in didn't sleep a wink.

my sister tells me, you need to read the Stephanie Plum novels - read em while on maternity leave after having Rachel.

my friend tells me, you need to read the True Blood books - read em all while out having my blood clots last year.

i guess there is a good chance i have an obsessive compulsive thing about books. i just get so into them, that is all i want to do. then when i am done reading them i am sad & lonely.

 

i tried not to give into the Hunger Games. i did, ok - just because I didn't understand them. i thought it would be stupid, but hello i read about wizarding children & vampires & werewolves. i can give it a go.

2 days. that's how long it took me to finish The Hunger Games. i'm officially obsessed & cannot wait to finish book 2, Catching Fire. according to my bff haley, i am going to fuh-reak out with how book 2 ends. which makes me want to avoid all other daily activities & just read these damn books.

now, i cannot wait to go to the movie. like i want to go sooooo bad. i am contemplating knocking off work early to go to the movies by myself. or i will go by myself on saturday afternoon.



Peeta                              - Katniss -                              Gale

i truly think it is the love story that gets me. aside from Harry Potter, all the rest of the books i have been obsessed with have an amazing love story. then i end up mad at jarrett thinking that he doesn't love me the way that edward loves bella. or he doesn't love me the way that peeta loves katniss.

i feel like i need that i-will-do-anything-for-you-ever-love or the i-would-die-without-you-love or the this-isn't-real-life-and-we-aren't-both-working-full-time-raising-two-kids-you-are-all-i-think-about-all-day-every-day-love, made up love that doesn't exist in the real world.

then he snaps me back to reality & says he does love me. i just have never encountered any thing he needs to really save me from, or else he definitely would fight a vampire for me or something like that. maybe i'm just crazy.

and because i am crazy. i need to visualize where these events are taking place, i googled "the district map" & came up with this. strangely, i feel better knowing where exactly they are talking about when they address the different districts. ::crazy::

and then I saw this on pinterest & laughed so hard. it's true. i wouldn't last.

see i told you, obsessive-compulsive about books, i am indeed.
