BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS!!!!!

I know everyone is going to hate me for saying this but I don't like New York best sellers. Every time everyone is raving about a new book I find myself actually not really enjoying it. I mean I’ll read them but I just don't fall in love with them like some people do and I find myself saying that they were great just so I don't end up having someone say in a condescending tone "you don't like it...?". the truth is I love enjoying a book that no one knows about or really cares about and I am sure most of you are wondering Zoe why is that? But really I love that it’s almost something that is just mine. This all sounds crazy and I’m sure your like gosh this person is lame but really then I have no spoilers. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with liking certain books and yeah I still enjoy reading them because I love to read but sometimes it’s just fantastic to get to read something no one else had mentioned and I get to then develop my own opinion on the book rather than having it clouded by other people around you.






Majority of the time I think the reason I don't enjoy them is because I expect them to be the greatest book of all time because it must be if it did so well which is why when I read books nobody knows about I don't have high expectations.

I have always been someone who once they find a good book and starts reading it starts to read it at any free moment I have and then while reading I want it to end because for some reason I like to know what happens and I feel like I have achieved something when I do eventually finish but then when I do actually finish I end up being upset. it has always annoyed me that I do this and I try to tell myself Zoe slow down and just enjoy reading rather than going as quickly as you can so you can finish and know what happens but I guess it is the way I am however I think that is why once I read a book I can't just read it once I end up reading it at least a few times afterwards or the latest book becomes a fall back book and I read random parts. It is almost a good thing that I want to finish them and want them to end because then I still really enjoy when I read it again and second and third time while other people might lose interest in the book.

I have always been a slow reader, I read a book as slow as I talk so I find I read a lot slower than my friends and family. the reason is when I read faster which I can actually do it feels rushed and the words don't sink in so that pretty much just go over my head and so I have to re-read parts over again and then once I get to a later part and the author might mention a particular character that was not talked about a lot I either have to work really hard to remember what character it was or just no understand that part of the book.

although I have always loved books and even more recently I find that these problems don't really affect people that much and I am just having a little bit of a tantrum about it when it doesn't matter. But since I have talked so much about books I figure I should tell you what my favorite book it, now this could be a really common book but even so I have never heard anyone talk about it so I loved finding.
