For People Addicted to Reading and Books in General

Book Addictions

What books are you addicted to? What books can you read over and over?

Permalink Reply by Carol(ina) on October 5, 2008 at 1:42pm: Well I don't read books over and over because I have so many books on my TBR pile. But I used to read over and over the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton (I've read it like 20 times). I can't wait for City of Glass to come out. I really want to know how the series ends.; ▶ Reply to This

I love the Jessica Darling Series. I have the first three but read all of them so far. I CANNOT wait for PERFECT FIFTHS!!!!!!; ▶ Reply to This

I think I read the first two Harry Potter books twice though because I was going to try to read the series and I'd read the first two around 4 years ago, so I didn't remember anything...; ▶ Reply to This

Well, Prep is my top favorite book EVER. So yes, I would definitely recommend it. Though be warned it's not for everyone - I know that many people hated it. It just resonated with me, I suppose, the way no other book has. I say, give it a chance and see how it goes! Definitely worth the read.

Andandand, Jessica Darling = LOVE! <3 They're extremely witty, funny, hilarious, insightful, etc. Kind of gives you a chick lit feel, but I'm the type of person who's very opposed to the valley girl voice typical of stereotypical chick lit, so to me they're above that, top tier, accomplished chick lit. I don't see how someone could NOT identify with Jessica on some level - you'd have to be an alien!
