About a year ago my friends introduced me to Flair on Facebook. After a few days one of them was asking me “Who are Edward and Bella and why are they all over Flair?” With my google-fu powers I was able to deduce that they were the main characters in a book called Twilight. Until then I had never heard of the series or Stephenie Meyer. A year later (which would mean about now) I could barely turn around without hearing about Twilight and Edward. Bella isn’t talked about so much because everyone (exageration) wants to be Bella. Curiosity got to me so I finally read the books.

However, cold, dark evenings make for some of the best times to curl up inside with a blanket and a good book to read.

While waiting for all of this transfer stuff to be sorted out I’ve been doing a bit of reading. I had been telling myself that I don’t have anything new to read but that wasn’t entirely true. Here are some of the books I’ve read lately or bought to read. (Also: I have no idea [...]
