Sleeplessness

So, I am not allowed to read good books before bed anymore. I always stay up a little later than planned (only a little *wink*), but the real problem is that when it's a really good book, then I lay in bed afterwards, unable to go to sleep because I can't stop thinking about the story. I loved "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins! I wasn't planning to start reading it because the third book doesn't come out until August and anyone who knows me knows that once I start a series, I simply have to finish it...soon. However, due to a power-outage, sleeping kids, and ZERO desire to be productive and clean or do dishes, I chose to read, and that was the book that appealed to me the most. Post-apocolyptic "Most Dangerous Game" meets "The Lottery" and "Survivor". By the first three chapters, I had already cried several times...when I did become so soft? All in all...thoroughly enjoyable!

Then, of course, Caleb chose to have an episode at 4am...good times.

Love those books. I'm eagerly anticipating the release of book 3...and I'm the same way. When I start a book or series, I can't stop. I'm an addict when reading good books.
