Signs that I Read Too Much

1. I'm writing a paper for a project due Monday right? And I'm researching Queen Elizabeth I. Turns out, it's super hard to find nonfiction books on Queen Elizabeth I. It's all fiction romance novels like "The Virgin's Lover" and "The Queen's Gamble" and other titles of extreme unimportance. Anyway, one of my first thoughts was "Okay, how come Clara and Angela find material to do a project on Elizabeth I, and I can't?" It was only after that I realized: Clara and Angela are characters in a fictional book called Unearthly (Fantastic book by the way.)


2.When I get tired of homework, I read the book assigned in my literature class. At least it feels less like homework.


3. I had an issue recently where I got The Maze Runner from the library, but then my friend lent me Catching Fire and Mockingjay and so I started re-reading those. Then The Maze Runner was due, and I was only on chapter 3. Plus, it was on hold so I couldn't renew it. *sigh* Thankfully I know someone who works at the library and she found a loophole for me. :D


4.You cannot call yourself a fan if you've seen the movie and not read the books. YOU CANNOT!!!!


5.*HARRY POTTER SPOILER ALERT* I was reading Deathly Hallows and I was in the car with my mom when I got to the part where Fred died. I wanted to cry SO badly, but I couldn't because my mom would have asked what was wrong and then I would have had to explain to her that my favorite character had just died and then she would have looked at me funny. So then when we got home, I went up to my room and cried.


6.I enter pretty much every book sweepstakes I find.


7.I follow the blogs of a couple authors.... Is that weird? One is by Carrie Jones (http://carriejones.livejournal.com/) and the other is by Veronica Roth. (http://theartofnotwriting.tumblr.com/) And okay, actually the second one's a tumblr, but whatever. Haha, ironically, these two authors are the writers of the books I mention in #8. And in the same order too. Look at how good I am.


8.Two books in two different series that I LOVE are coming out soon. I AM FLIPPING OUT!!!! The one of them is the 4th and final installment in the Need series. It's called Endure and I NEED IT!! (No pun intended. Although it did make me giggle) The other one is the sequel to a book called Divergent (I believe I mentioned this in my last post. It's amazing. Go read it. Right now). The sequel is called Insurgent. I just..... GAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!


9. When I finish a book or a series, real life doesn't feel real. And I don't want it to be real. I want to stay in book land forever.


Okay, I guess I'll go write this paper on Queen Elizabeth. Since it's due Monday and I'm going to be gone all weekend. Yay for procrastination!
That's okay. I have tea and music to get me through.
