I seem to have become addicted...

to paranormal-type books. It all started with Twilight, and has just got worse from there. I belong to a book club, so I DO read other books as well, but I'm getting through an inordinate amount of books (I blame Kindle, and my local library seem to catering solely for me...). I used to read the classics, high-brow type books, but I literally can't put these books down!! I think I need counselling!!

It's kind of like a secret addiction - I went into Waterstones the other day, found the section of books that I wanted, only to find out they come under the heading of 'Dark Romance'. I had to leave - I can't read Dark Romance books - that's almost like reading a blood sucking version of Mills and Boon, surely?!!

You may laugh, but I can assure you - it's like the bloke who has the top shelf magazine and has to disguise it with The Times (or something). Dh thinks I've lost the plot, my friends can't believe it (other than the ones who are borrowing the books I've finished with, of course!).

Please tell me I'm not reverting to a 16 year old (however, as someone who is a long way from 16, I wouldn't mind so much if it included getting rid of the crows feet...).

Seriously though - they're a great escape, and my life is far from perfect (disabled ds1, depressed dh, deaf ds2), so I may not be able to discuss books with many people of my own age, but hey ho...

IreadthereforeIam: You also need to try the Dark Hunters by Sherrilyn Kenyon, I'm currently reading those and loving them.

You do all realise you're feeding my obsession?! Thankyou!! Grin

Keep 'em coming (I may have to remortgage the house, however...). The library service has some catching up to do Wink

The Black Dagger Brotherhood books are just FANTASTIC as the Demonica Brothers by Larrissa Ione Grin

IreadthereforeIam · 12/04/2011 12:10

Ooh no, not read those yet - I shall add them to my ever-growing list!! Do you know, I used to watch TV - reading has even taken over from that entirely!! There's nothing on that interests me, and I can't be bothered, to be frank. Once the boys are in bed, the books come out (actually, the books come out when I'm cooking tea, too...and other parts of the day when I can get away with it!!)

have you read the Kate Daniels series by husband and wife duo Ilona Andrews, its my favourite series and absolutely brilliant!

IreadthereforeIam · 12/04/2011 12:02

I think I might have to give the Black Dagger Brotherhood a go too - my Library are going to love me - they all laugh at me, but I think a couple of them get them out as soon as I've finished with them!!
