It's Good When...

You know a book is really good when:

It's all I can think about. 

I talk about it like it's real life happening in the here and now.

I dream about it. 

It ends but I want it to keep going forever. 

 The Nancy Drew series were these kinds of book for me as a young girl.  It was nice that it was such a huge series but it never did end until I grew out of them.  In fact, I believe I should credit this to my mother, but I still have all my Nancy Drew books for my own girls to read at night while hiding under the covers with a flashlight!  Yup, I did that.  A lot.

More recently, I feel like the caliber of what I read has gone down.  The most recent page turners I have read are the Twilight books and the Hunger Games series.  That is the best literature I have read in years.  I feel...lame.  Yet I can't seem to find adult books that keep me interested.  I feel like I should enjoy John Grisham.  But I don't.  I mean, I liked the one book I got through.  It was called "In Cold Blood" or something.  However, I think I made it through that book because it was a true story so I enjoyed the reality of the story - as dry as it was for me to read.

I would like some suggestions.  Reading is so relaxing, calming and works my imagination like nothing else.

I have always enjoyed mystery (unless I find it so creepy I won't turn the lights out at night) and a good love story.

Oh! Christy, in my opinion, is a classic and I've read that book countless times!  Maybe I should just reread that one for now....
