So I mentioned back in July in this Post that I was going to take a break and do some reading….and I can’t seem to stop reading now.
I have to embarrassingly point out that before that post I had not read much of anything since high school. Probably about 3 or 4 books as well as the Twilight Series and the Harry Potter Series…oh and Wuthering Heights (LOVE that book)
So SINCE July….this is what I’ve read….
New Moon by Stephanie Meyer (again)
Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer (again)
Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer (again)
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Pretty Is as Pretty Dies by Elizabeth Spann Craig
The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
Dead Before Dark by Charlaine Harris
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Wedding by Nicolas Sparks
Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Roirdon
The Lightening Thief
The Sea of Monsters
The Titans Curse
The Battle of the Labrynth
The Last Olympian
Looking for Alaska by John Green
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Paper Towns by John Green’
And right now I am reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and Menu for Romance by Kaye Dacus
So I think it’s SAFE to say I think I’m ready to go back to writing. I even did a bit yesterday and am SUPER happy with what I got done. Although the problem now is … now that I’ve gotten into reading, I can’t stop! I am in love with it. I just can NOT consume enough books. Why didn’t anyone tell me that reading was so wonderful!!?!?!
And in case you were wondering, so far my favorites have been Pretty is as Pretty dies, The ENTIRE Percy Jackson series and Looking for Alaska.
Know of any other books you think I MUST read? Leave them in the comments! Hope everyone enjoyed the summer as much as I did!

You’re so sweet! I can’t believe I’m seeing my book next to the Percy Jackson series. That’s SUCH a compliment, Marybeth. Thanks so much!

Mystery Writing is Murder
Marybeth
Catching Fire…isn’t that the one Elana just read too? I think I’m gonna have to head over to the Library website and order that one up!
Seriously…you MUST pick up the Percy Jackson series. I LOVED it!

Wow, that was quite a list! I’ll have to pick up the Percy Jackson series (I keep hearing about them!) I’m sure you’ve seen this recommendation everywhere but THE HUNGER GAMES and CATCHING FIRE are must reads, and so is THE BOOK THEIF.
