the reading habits of ME

My reading habits suck. I dont read as much as should. I usually spend my free time watching recorded episodes of Tosh, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Pretty Little Liars, Glee...etc. I also spend a great majority of my time on Facebook. I generally cannot go on the computer without logging into Facebook...it might be an addiction. I could spend hours just browsing people's photos and creepin' :) ...I have no life. The ratio of time reading to time spent watching TV or going on Facebook is probably 1hour/8hours. Although, sometimes, I can really get cruising on a book & I can easily read 3 hours in one sitting. I like this project because I can read whatever I want & that keeps my attention because most of the books we have to read for school don't keep my attention because I enjoy shallow books with no point. Exhibit A: The current book I am reading... Sugar and Spice by Lauren Conrad. It is the 3rd book in her series: L.A. Candy.


So, I finished my 2nd book and I got a pretty good start on my 3rd. I am blogging from school so I am not exactly sure what page I'm on but I believe it is somewhere around page 200. The book is basically a continuation from the 2nd book. It's about these girls who are on this reality show in California. They get paid to be filmed and they all have cool jobs/internships with fashion designers & party planners. It talks about their relationships and friendships & the paparazzi drama. It's pretty much just their everyday life. I'm not sure why this type of useless literature interests me, but I've read all three of these books and they've kept my attention so far. If you've ever seen The Hills starring Lauren Conrad, it's pretty much just a spin-off of the show. (approx. book reading time : 3 hours)

Also, I got a new Seventeen Magazine over break & I have already completed that. I devour magazines as soon as I get them in the mail. Magazine reading pretty much trumps anything else I do on the days that I get new ones. Victoria Justice was on the cover. I'm really not a big fan of her. Seventeen has kind of been slacking with their cover girls the past couple of months. Last month was Miranda Cosgrove & I really don't care much for her either but, hey, you win some, you lose some. ANYWAYS>>>>>> In this months isssue of Seventeen, it was the hair issue! It showed you how to get fashionable updo's & the latest cuts & colors (I've never dyed my hair & don't plan to). It also had a section about this highschool cheerleader who was raped by a member of the boy's basketball team at her school. He was sent to jail for only a short sentence & was allowed back at her school. She refused to cheer for him while shooting free throws at a game & she got kicked off of her squad. Her family tried to sue the school but it didn't work so now they're taking the case to the Supreme Court. It was actually really interesting to read about.
