Originally Posted By WDWdreamin Candice, I have only recently been able to stop doing that. I am finally free. But I totally understand. I hope it's over soon. Dagobert, sounds like lots of fun, in contrast. I've started rereading the Five Peppers books for fun. The first was given to me when I was eight by my now deceased grandmother. It's so interesting to read about another time.

My girlfriend is a huge Harry Potter fan and now she "forced" me to read the books . I don't like the movies and so I'm a bit sceptical, but since my brother enjoyed the books a lot and didn't like the movies either, I thought I give them a try. Before HP I read "The Passage" by Justin Cronin and it was just terrible. It was so boring that I didn't finish it.

I've stopped reading at the moment while I have lunch because the opening chapter was slightly gross and I don't trust reading it while I'm eating!

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins A book called "Something Blue" by Emily Griffin. I've got to say I was antagonized by the main character and almost stopped reading it. But, it was a gift so I was obligated to finish it. Actually, later I found out, that the first book club discussion question was did the character ( a DIVA) tick you off? I realized that I had read half of the book with great ease, so Emily Griffin was definitely a good writer. So, I decided to continue on to the end where I was surprised by the turn of events. I immediately gave the book to the gifter, so she could see what the book was about. All in all, I ended up enjoying the book.
