A Book, oh dear, part 3

So... you know that book I've been freaking out over? Well, I finished it. I was surprised. It ended quite well (even if the ending was somewhat predictable.) I was contented with it. Not to say though I don't want more. You know? Its kinda like a chocolate bar. You eat it and are relatively full, but if someone offered you some more you would eagerly take it. That's me at the moment. I'm going to try out some more books by the author though. I like her writing style and even though its historical christian fiction, its not very cheesy. Sure, it has its moments, but over all its really good. I do hope she writes more about the Civil war, (its my favorite war. Plus I love the Victorian era, *sigh*. And I love reading the medical aspects of it. This has honestly rekindled my old interest in medicine.) Any who, I'd thought I'd tell all my imaginary followers about this. I highly suggest it. Again, its called "Fire by Night", and its by Lynn Austin in her Refiners series. I'd imagine it be at most libraries or christian book stores. (Also on Amazon.) So yeah, read it.

A Book, oh dear, part 2 and 1/2.

... I'm down to under 50 pages.... I'm not so sure I can do this. Its going to be a sad/happy ending. I can feel the bitter sweetness in my bones... Yes, I get way too far into books. They become a part of me, its like I sewed the book onto my arm. I don't want it to end. I don't want to finish it. Yet I can't wait to see how it ends! Thus I keep reading, stopping, reading, stopping, reading, stopping... ect. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

A Book, oh dear.

Okay, I've recently read "Candle in the Darkness" by Lynn Austin. I rather liked it. So I picked up the next one in the series, its called "Fire by Night". I'm over half way through it, and love it. Oh, you know that overwhelming excitement you get when you really get into a book? Well, yeah. I'm there. Ugh! But I'm so excited, I can't finish. Odd, isn't it? Half way because I don't want it to end? Perhaps. Plus I'm not 100% sure its going to end... well, how I want it to end. That deeply scares me. The ending has been know to ruin a great book. UGH! I'm twitching guys. Way to into that book! I can barley type!!! Its really sad, because after this I will no longer know squat about these people. They will disappear into storyless oblivion. Its gut wrenching when you think about it. Its very much like your dearest friend that you've shared years of life experience finds that they only have so many chapters... er, days to live! Then, those days fly by and POOF! They're history. Sure, you can look at pictures. Read through the emails again, but its never the same! You freaking know how it ends! I'm going to be very sad for many a day after I finish this. Be prepared. I just can't stand it. Really, I'm sitting down! And twitching continues. My parents think I'm crazy, and they're right, I'll admit. I'm really glad I didn't read this at school though. I would have been laughing, crying, yelling, and throwing this book halfway across the room all in one setting. Its terrible! What am I supposed to do?!? This almost happened at school the other week. Only for a different purpose. The book was terrible! We are talking cheesy, corny, sappy, and any other food related adjective you can think of, Historical christian fictional inspirational romance book. Bleh. I was laughing so hard because it was SO CRAZY AWFUL! I should really do a parody about it on my parody blog, but I'm too lazy. Okay, I'm going to stop venting and face it like a book worm. I'll finish the book. Then cry for about 12 hours (kidding, I hope). Then I'll do some fake blog weeping for show on here and search for a new book series to settle my never ending thirst for a good read.

Till then,
Em
