Spring Break Woes

I am so upset at myself, it has taken me soooo long to get through the book I'm reading. Not because it's not good or anything, but there's just a lot of other things I would rather do. This week for spring break I have been really productive, but not in the reading department. I have started and finished 3 crochet projects, completed several scholarship essays, applied to jobs, and deep cleaned and organized my room. Of course my room is back to having a ton of crochet supplies on the floor :P but taking this long to finish a book is really rare for me. Over winter break I read an 800 page book in about 24 hours, well it was 3 books put into one, but with one title. I did a review for the book, Until the End.

Thirst No.1

Last year..... well, in reality it was only yesterday (the 31st) that I checked out Thirst No.1 from the library. It is comprised of 3 books: The Last Vampire, Black Blood, Red Dice all by Christopher Pike, there are 8 books in the series. Originally published in 1994. I am only 150 pages into it, but so far it is great. Its about a vampire that is 5,000 years old, named Alisa. Someone from her past is searching for her, and has found her, though he hasn't confronted her face to face. He hired a bunch of people to investigate her, as she is a peculiar person. No family ties, secretly the richest person, and has inexplicable deaths tied to her name.


The vampire in this book is different than the vampires introduced in today's current books, aka the Vampire Diaries, or Twilight. She doesn't sparkle or burn in the sunlight, though it does drain her of her powers. She needs food as much as anyone else, her heart beats she is a living, breathing creature, though not human. Her hearing is very sensitive, as is her sight, like any vampire in stories, senses are heightened. She does heal fast, is physically strong, and no match to any human.



So far I would recommend the book(s) to any of my friends.

Until the End...

Yesterday around 6pm, I started reading the massive book (which contains 3 books in it) I got from my sister for Christmas. I read about 3 or 400 pages last night from 6-11pm. I continued this morning when I woke up around 10am. I took very few breaks to shower, eat, play Just Dance 3, and eat again. I finished at 10pm tonight. It was 846 pages long, and it was definitely a satisfying read. The book was called Until the End by Christopher Pike, it contained The Party, The Dance and The Graduation. It was hard to put down. I just put the book Thirst on hold at the library, that series (containing 8 books) are all rolled into 4 volumes of 3 books in 2 volumes, and 1 book in the last 2. I am very excited to get it, and start reading. Though, I think I will get just as preoccupied with it as I did with Until the End.

On another note, I should have some more posts up by the end of this week, as I have gotten some projects done, and have some pictures to put up from Zoo Lights.
