my reading appetite

reading has always been my favourite pasttime, but ive been so disappointed in myself these past years! ive developed such narrowed taste in what i read, and what i read nowadays are soo mainstream! twilight, hunger games, vampire acadamy, 50 shades etc. i find it so shaming. i blame twilight. ever since then, i cut off every single book but THAT ONE SERIES. and it was a hard battle to stray from that series.

from childhood onwards, id read a wide variety of books, of different genres, target audiences and different authors. i explored a lot with books. i didnt neglect anything, i was willing to give anything a go.
i remmeber telling my friends sometimes to just pick a book off a shelf, and off id go to read it. now ive narrowed my scope down sooo much. i judge by the front cover, the thickness, the genre, the author. if its mainstream, ill give it a go, if its got 'BESTSELLER', ill give it a go. if its fantasy -spare vampires, NO. if its part of a series i dont know of, NO. if no ones recommended it to me, NO. if i dont recognise it, NO. the pleasure i get from delving into a story has always been the same from prep to now, except im becoming way too picky.
and its saddening for me cause im doing so much less of it (reading).
there will come a day where i just wont have time for it anymore. i just spent a whole day playing tf2 and tiny towers when ive got the lastest instalment of bones to read.

it feels like such a slap in the face becuase reading has ALWAYS been something ive ALWAYS assumed will be a staple in my life. books used to educate me, but with what im reading nowadays, they only entertain me. im such a TEAM EDWARD EVERDEEN CHRISTIAN GREY kind of girl. which kind of really sucks. this coming holiday im going to try and embrace that prior passion i had for books. i want an open and nonjudgemental relationship with these babies, otherwise before i know it, 99% of these books will be unreadable to me.

but my taste aside, IM SO EXCITED BY THIS RELEASE:

havent got my hands all over this darling yet BUT I WILLL ASAP ALEGKJERG.

also, dymock's TOP TEN list right now is totally dominated by the 50 shades trilogy (see what i did there HAHAHA) which is awesome. and hunger games. 

and if we switch over to collins bookseller's TOP SELLERS, topping the charts is also 50 shades &co., followed by the golden lily and hunger games series. 

let us take a moment to freeze time, and be super excited :D

thats all
