I read books faster than they can print them

I always wonder what my fad with reading books all the time looks like from the outside. Like how people have crazy addictions like eating parts of their couch or drinking nail polish, etc, etc and as the viewer you're thinking, "How do those people do that?" The same goes for me and reading. It has great aspects and then there is a dark side.

The great aspect is that who doesn't love to get away from the outside world and escape into another person's life!? I really love books for this. I love getting to meet new "people" and maybe learning history facts  (some authors are really good at using a real part of history with their story). Well anyways my addiction with books has been shadowing me for quite some time and I see the bad affects is has. One: Money. Shesh books are expensive. But I think of how cool it is to promote authors especially Indie authors. Yet, if I were to tally the X amount of dollars I have spent the past maybe three years I think I would vomit. Thank you  Jesus with all my heart for finally placing me in a job.

Another bad part is once I start a book there is no going back from stopping. Let's see for example I bought a book last night (it was really, really, really, really, goooood) at around 10pm. Then I started to read......then I looked at the clock and it was 4 AM! whoa.....Then I woke up this morning and just finished it. I almost feel bad that I read them so fast. I mean this author poured their life into it for who knows how long and then I read their book in less then two days. Eh, maybe it's a compliment to them?

Hm....I don't know if there is a recovery plan for Book Addicts but I think I need to limit for sure....That will be my New Year's Resolution.

It's raining today and I shivering under three blankets. What's the weather like for you?

Recommendation of the Day: "A Distant Melody" by Sarah Sundin. (If you are wondering, yes, this is the book that I started last night.)

It's Sunday and I really itching to read some great passages from the Bible. I'm in the middle of Isaiah, pretty powerful stuff. I really loved the verse 26:4 

"Trust in the Lord forever, 

for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal." (NIV)

It's simple and when I'm having a tough day it's great to just say to myself to remind me of the greatness of God. That He is my Rock eternal-forever-he's never gonna let me down. Hope you're having a great Sunday~ 

In His Loving Name,
