Biblioholism The Literary Addiction

This book I found very interesting. I really had no idea some people could be so addicted to books. I am a biblioholic but I found a lot of the content to be irrelevant to me because it focused a lot on the book buying aspect. I will buy books at yard sales, salvo, book sales, and bookstores but I won't go very extreme and have to buy books at bookstores all the time, or getting books and not reading them. But I can hoard books to a point. I am addicted to going into libraries, and most likely signing out too many books but I know how to control it. I do love to smell books, read too late, want to read at work, sometimes feel like I don't have enough time in a day to get reading done, given up a book before starting it, got a book because I liked the cover, look at books first at a yard sale, read during commercial breaks, read on the toilet, panic when I forgot my book while waiting, found a topic I was really interested in and got several books from the library on it, and usually have at least 3-6 books by my bed at all times. I found the parts in the book relevant to me funny. Great read for anyone who loves to read books.

The Hobbit or, There and Back Again

I have found a new author that I have become somewhat obsessed with. This was a fantastic book with plenty of danger and adventure. It surprised me because it was something I don't normally read or would find attractive even though I like fantasy but I really enjoyed it and now goes on my favorite books list.
       It followed the adventure of Bilbo Baggins a hobbit that lives in the shire, who through reading this book I have now become most fond of. He was visited by Gandalf the Grey and 13 dwarves to help them on their quest to reclaim the lonely mountain from Smag the evil dragon. They battled wargs, Orcs, goblins. elves, trolls, huge spiders, and a dragon. Smag the dragon was eventually defeated, they reclaimed the mountain, had a huge battle, and lived out the rest of their days peacefully. Unfortunately Thorin, Fili, and Kili were killed. Thorin didn't get to be the king under the mountain but his memory didn't fade.
        It was weird how the movie added in they were being hunted by Orcs because they were not in the book. That was really the only major thing they changed from page to script. The book I chose came with beautiful illustrations which added a little more magic to the experience.

Tweak Growing Up on Methamphetamines

This was the sequel to the Beautiful Boy book only from Nic's perspective. I found this book just as great as Beautiful Boy. I really got to see what goes on in an addict's head and what they go through. I understand a little better why it's so hard for an addict to keep from not relapsing. It was very insightful and it was great seeing his side of the story.
