I made the mistake last night of saying "just one more page." Of course, that one page led to one more chapter, which led to one more chapter, which, before I knew it, I'd actually read the entire "Part 4" of the book I was reading.
Dude, I really needed to go to bed quasi-early, but Andrew Gross' "The Blue Zone" was just way too compelling. He definitely learned at the feet of his mentor James Patterson, because I couldn't put the book down!
Next thing I knew, it was past 1 am and I was just heading to bed.
Anyone else do that recently? What's the last book you stayed up way too late reading?
Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I always think I can just read one chapter...and then it's 2:30 am.
ReplyDeleteHmm. The last book...gotta be Roxanne St. Claire's Hunt Her Down.
ReplyDeleteTwo books come to mind quickly. The first is Ian McEwan's Atonement. The second is Antonia Fraser's Marie Antoinette
ReplyDeleteCatching Fire. LOL I couldn't put it down...
ReplyDeleteI love when that happens! The last series to do that to me was the Shifter series by Rachel Vincent. I kept saying "Just one more page, just one more page". But I always pay for it the next day.
ReplyDeleteI do this far too often, most recently this week with DON'T TELL and NOTHING TO FEAR by Karen Rose. I couldn't go o bed last night until I'd finished NTF.
