I have been obsessing over books these couple of weeks. I think it already has been a month. I have been reading non-stop. I open my reader whenever I can: while travelling, while working, before sleeping. It takes up most of my time now. I get super obsessive if I want to be. For now, reading is like breathing.
There is nothing like getting sucked into an author's world. It is so amazing how they create this whole new world (especially dystopian themes). Plus you get to imagine that characters, the setting. Makes me feel like I'm there. I get lost in words. I get lost in their world. It feels like an escape for me; from everything that has been going on with my life. While I'm there, nothing could touch me. Nothing I need to worry but what will happen in the next chapter or in the next book.
May be what I'm really doing is drowning my sorrows. May be I am afraid of facing my fears. May be I am searching for something in these books.
For now, nothing beats the comfort of knowing I can skip to the end.
And I am putting that obsessiveness to work! I will be posting book reviews from my other blog (Chocolate Dump). Hope that it would be awesomely awesome. Looking forward to more posts! Be sure to visit my blog when I do!

Breaking Dawn
I was sooo excited for the launch of Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. I really could not afford a book right now so my only resolve is look for it in torrent. Funny, torrent goes around faster than the real release.
I was browsing for the torrent file of this. I looked at it first in limewire. With no luck, the ebook was not there. Next attempt, google. I got bored and went through mininova (one of my favorites). I found it there! I saw chapters 1-14 of Breaking dawn. This was a Saturday by the way. According to the comments, the person who uploaded the file got arrested. Hahaha. Anways, I downloaded the file knowing it is the real thing. The next chapters was uploaded the next day (chapters 14-34).
I read it the whole Sunday, morning until evening. I just could not stop. I was actually obsessing over it. I finished chapter 1-34 Monday evening. Realizing it was not the ending, I had to find the continuation today. I found it and read i. I finished reading it now. hahaha. That is why I am writing this blog.
What I think of the whole book: The last book is nice. Very thick and nice. hahaha. It would keep you up all night. I just love the way Stephanie Meyer writes here novels, subtle then it builds up until it leaves you hanging on the edge of you chair. I guess I like her because supernatural has a great hold on me. I also love reading mangas that are supernatural. I have this particular like for vampire stories because of her. I really don't mind for another sequel. I think the ending lacked impact because it became too cheezy and the repetition of FOREVER. I guess the ending is bellow my taste. But I'll let you be the judge of that. Hope to hear comments from you XD
