Bit by the reading bug

I have never been a big reader.  It is not uncommon for me to give up on a book after just a few pages because I just can't get into it or I am already lost and confused.  Over the last few years however I have found that I actually really enjoy books about historical events or true stories of overcoming incredible trials.  I also get sucked in to the young adult novels that inevitably include some sort of love triangle.

A few months ago my co-worker recommended a series that her and my other co-worker love.  I was a little skeptical because they are "mormon books".  She brought the first one for me to borrow and I have been completely hooked.  Good thing there are like 20 books.  Last night I sat down to continue reading one that I was about half way through and before I knew it I was done!  My roommate came into my room and I asked her what time it and it was 10:00.  Whaaaat?  I had been reading for hours.  Hours!  I have never understood how people can just sit down and read for hours on end.  I am more of a one chapter each night before I go to bed kind of girl.  But here I was totally oblivious to the outside world (my dinner in the crockpot got cooked for about 4 hours too long. oops.), spending my Friday night reading.  So weird. 

So if anyone is in the mood for a totally cheesy love story/murder mystery, Betsy Brannon Green is the answer.  (But make sure you start with the first book!)
