Craving for Twilight

It’s been awhile since I felt the exhilaration of reading a really good book. If the book is part of a saga / series, there is also that added anticipation for the next book, and that’s what really gets me excited.

The book series that have gotten me addicted are the Harry Potter books and the Series of Unfortunate Events. The Shopaholic series has also gotten me smitten, and I am looking forward to the book after Shopaholic and Baby (Shopaholic takes over Kindergarden, perhaps? Hahaha, ang baduy ko. But I really hope Sophie Kinsella writes another edition!). Griffin and Sabine is also a set of books that I adore, although I am still lacking the last 2 books because Nick Bantock books are so damn expensive!!! :(

Another saga that has gotten me craving (no, salivating) for more is Twilight. It was an unexpected twist of fate, as I had really no intention of joining the Twilight hype. Everybody else was raving about it, but I really couldn’t see what the fuss was all about; another vampire story, big deal.

But one fateful long weekend (just this past Nov. 1 and 2) found me alone with a Twilight book, and I finished it in one day (cumulative number of hours. Haha). I couldn't put it down.

During my lunch break today, after fulfilling all of my bank errands, I briskly walked to National Book Store and bought myself the hardbound book box set (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn). I couldn't help but skip back to work, already imagining myself lying on my bed, my back propped up against my pillow, a bag of Ruffles by my side, while I devour every word of my new book purchase.



Ahhh. THIS is my natural high. :)
