Sickness & eBooks

I know a couple of my friends from cyberspace noticed that I have been MIA(missing in action) from the cyberworld for quite some time. Well, I have been sick - not the feverish type of sickness but I felt dizzy most of the time. And no, I'm not pregnant! That's quite an impossibility as of the moment. I had to just lie on my bed for most of the time. As most of you know, I'm an internet addict so occasionally I try to get up to check my mails, my friendster, my myspace, my multiply, my facebook and to reply to the messages left on my YM. (So sorry to my cyberspace friends that I didn't get to reply immediately or when I suddenly went MIA..) During those boring times, I've found a way to enjoy while lying on the bed almost all day and night, E-books! My friend sent me a copy of the last installment of the Harry Potter Series which I continuously read for almost 8 hours. Then, I read all of the the Shopaholic Series which I really loved. I also read other books by Sophie Kinsella. After reading all her books, I read Meg Cabot's books, not the Princess Diaries collection which she is famous for but her Adult books. I love the way they write their books, fun and light-hearted. It's been quite a while since I read those kind of books and I miss it. Definitely miss it! So, to continue with my reading marathon, I chose another author - Rachel Gibson. Her books are more on the heavy romance side, and it's quite addicting. I already read almost all of her books. Just 2 more to go, but I can't seem to find e-books of them. So I think I'm just gonna buy the paperbacks. I think I was MIA for almost a week and a half, and during that time, all I did was read e-books. Let me see, I think I read one Harry potter book, about 7 Meg Cabot books, another 7 Sophie Kinsella books and 9 of Rachel Gibson. Whew! that's quite a lot. I think I was reading about 2-3 books per day. That's what I call an e-book reading marathon! :) Anyways, I've taken some time off from reading before I get burned out. Now, I just read the books again to get my daily fix of reading, about 1 a day - a dose for my e-book addiction. So to my cyberspace friends, I'm back! But unfortunately, I will be MIA again in a week because I'm going for a week-long vacation! :)

**I will be writing a blog about my readings in a few days!**
