This almost always happens to me right before I go to bed. It will be 10:30 and I'll think, ''Oh it's early still. I'll just read for a few minutes and call it a night." Then I'll look up at midnight and wonder why I'm still awake. I love sleep. Why have I delayed sleeping? But it's that age old question, "What's going to happen to my character next?" That's what I love about clever writing. I love not knowing exactly what's going to happen next, but dying to find out.
I'm currently reading "One Day" as I mentioned in yesterdays post. I'm always on the hunt for a great book that makes me want to stay up late and find out what happens next. I love recommendations! Gimme all you got!
currently plowing through "World War Z," check it out....soooooooooo good:

incidentally Brad Pitt is making a movie out of the book but the filmmaking is going poorly:

btw totally agree about the "just a few pages" phenomenon...it's plagued me my whole life
ReplyDeleteI'm reading vampire academy, it's incredible so far
ReplyDeleteThis happens to me all the time... though I admit I read to escape :)I don't even try to psyche myself into believing it will only be a few pages anymore... if It's good I could easily read a whole book in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteThe last books I read were the Fifty Shades series and I read the latest installment of Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series and Charlaine Harris' latest in the Sookie Stackhouse series... I've been at a loss for something good to read ever since!
A Song of Ice and Fire (A Game of Thrones, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons). Promise it'll be the fastest 3,000+ pages you've ever read, and you'll be dying for the next book (which, incidentally, was suposed to be out by now).
