Read

I like to read. I didn’t used to.. when I was younger I despised it. I’d much rather play a video game or watch cartoons than sit down and read quietly. When I grew older, Harry Potter was such an interesting series that I would open one and not put it down until I was finished. It was kind of incredible.. actually having an interest in reading.

Lately I’ve read romance novels. I had a stack to move through , and I started with Jennifer Crusie’s “Bet Me”, which like Harry Potter I had a hard time putting down. It had romance, suspense, a bit of a mystery.. and I was surprised to realize I actually enjoyed it.

Once it was time to move on to the next book, I searched the stack for another Crusie novel and found “Getting Rid of Bradley”. It had the same pull, the mystery and romance, as well as the suspense that scared me just a bit. Good book, but I was getting used to her style and almost bored with it as well. I wasn’t sure what I’d want to read next.

My next few books were all Crusie novels.. “What the Lady Wants”, “Charlie All Night”, “Tell Me Lies”, “Welcome To Temptation”, “Fast Women”, and “Faking It”. Since I wasn’t sure I even liked her writing, I’m somewhat surprised I was able to make it through so many of her novels so fast.. even almost knowing what was going to happen next, or how things might play out.

Now, I’ve read all of the Jennifer Crusie novels from the stack, and I’m trying to move onto the other authors, getting too bored one by one. When you read as little as I do, I guess it takes a lot to prove what ‘liking’ an author really is.

If you haven’t read one of her novels, do it! They’re lots of fun. I think I might just throw the rest of the stack out and buy the rest of her books.
