bedtime reading

I can honestly say that it had been a long time since i went early to bed, so i could dedicate some time to read.

So that was what i decided to do last night... I crawl up to bed sooner than usual and in my warm and comfy bed i lost myself in the novel that i started to discover.

I pick and choose a book that i had for quite a while (the lack of time blocked my reading habits!), "The Lucky One/Um Homem com Sorte" written by the american author Nicholas Sparks. For me, it's always a pleasure to read his novels, i always fall in love with the stories, the characters and the sites that are so wonderfully described.

«The story revolves around a U.S. Marine named Logan Thibault who finds a photograph of a young woman half-buried in the sands of Iraq during the war. Soon the photo becomes a lucky charm for this soldier, who escapes and survives to several dangerous situations. When he returns home, to Colorado, he sets out on a journey across the country to find the woman in the photo, believing that she somehow holds the key to his destiny. An unforgettable story about the surprising paths our lives often take and the power of fate to guide us to true and everlasting love.»

Quickly i lost myself in the story and also lost track of time... and the result was that i was reading for almoust five hours, but i didn't want to stop - i wanted to know how it would end! Of course that at some point i had to give up... it was 4 in the morning when i closed the book, turned off my bedside lamp and went to sleep.
I'll finish the book tonight, satisfying my curiosity that is not far from reaching the limit! XD
