So as a student, the only reading I get to do is textbooks. I think I got to read a book that I wanted to read way back in first term, but as I remember, it put me behind in my text readings. I can't wait till school and exams are over so I can finally crack open these books that I've been dying to read:
Shift by Rachel Vincent
My Soul To Save by Rachel Vincent
Hard and Fast by Erin McCarthy
The Taking by Erin McCarthy
Fire Study by Maria V Snyder
And I'd love to reread the Harry Potter series
There are are a hundred more books on my shelves that I'd love to get to, but those are the ones on my mind right now...
What books are you dying to read?
I am a young Canadian writer trying to make it in the world. I'm currently working on several projects, which includes a few books and even more shorts.
I remember when I was in university, dying to do some reading that wasn't part of my class lists. I had to wait until I did all my finals and handed in all my essays before I could go and buy Harry Potter books 1-5 and read them. 5 had just come out and I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. I took them all to the rose garden at the park and spread my blanket out on the ground. Surrounded by red and pink and white and peace roses I fell into Harry Potter's magical world.
ReplyDeleteI'm not dying to read anything right now, I just read whatever comes along and catches my notice.

As a university student myself, I totally know what you mean. I went to the US recently (I live in Spain) and bought several books which are just adorning my bookshelf. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat book are those? Well, they're all Raymond E. Feist books:
Mistress of the Empire
Servant of the Empire
Faerie Tale
I want to buy and read
Rides a Dread Legion
At the Gates of Darkness
argh, I want to reread Lord of the Rings...and so many more! the list could go on and on :(
First of all, Jai, I can't even imagine having to wait so long to read the Harry Potter Books! I devoured them one after another right once I discovered them (around book 3). And by the way, nice imagery with the roses :). And Elyzabeth, there are so SO many books I want to reread! I can't wait till my first year (and the years following) of university are done, then I'm going book crazy.
