The first two...
I've always been fascinated with books and reading. I say, I'm happier when I have a book with me or when I'm in a library or a bookstore. Since moving to Canada, I've read a lot of books. Thanks in part to the library. I read anything that interest me. Although, there are type of books that don't strike a chord with me.
Even before the HARRY POTTER books became so popular, I already read most of them and watch the film adaptations. It started when I was still back in the Philippines. I enjoyed Harry, Ron and Hermione's adventures all through out the series that I decided to read it again last year. And it was made possible by the VIRL.
Another series that I managed to read, pertained to vampires and werewolves. If you're familiar about Bella and Edward ( with Jacob thrown in to spice things up ), then you know what I'm getting at. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Ring a bell? It's a surprise that I can still remember all the titles. The opportunity to read all four books presented itself and I was curious to find out what all the hype was about. Will I read it again? Probably not. Besides, my idea of what a vampire should be, will always be Louis and Lestat ( remember "Interview with the Vampire" )
The first trilogy I come across is from Suzanne Collins---I'm talking about "The Hunger Games", "Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay". I read the first two books when I was still back home. And I read the last one, last year. It dealt about futuristic stuff and all that. And it was a fast-paced read.
A nice birthday present.:-)
I've started accidentally on Jeffrey Archer's "The Clifton Chronicles". I say accidentally because I didn't plan on reading "Only Time Will Tell", which was the first book. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a wonderful one and with Jeffrey Archer, being the author, you won't be disappointed. I had to wait for months before I get to read the second book, "The Sins Of The Father". It's worth the long wait. Now, I'm looking forward to the next one. Soon, hopefully.
I watched "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" a few years back. I didn't know then that it was based on a book by C.S. Lewis. It was only recently that I know about it. And there's a whole lot of other books in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series. So I Google d it and jot down the title of the books ( all seven of them ) and the order they should be read. I borrowed "The Magician's Nephew" from the library and finished reading it in just one day. Well, it was a short one and the large print helped too. I have the second book, "The Boy and His Horse" ready to be pick up. So, let's see how this will turn out.
I noticed that I read a lot of series lately so I thought I write something about it. And also to keep track, perhaps. ( Whatever happened to my Book Journal? )
As I've mentioned before, reading is a great pastime. You can never go wrong with it. :-)
Never stop reading.
