I've hit myself in the face with my phone a lot lately. If you see an injury on my face that I can't hide with makeup, it's probably from dropping my phone on my face as I'm reading in bed and falling asleep. I want so desperately to finish a book, because I don't read as much as I'd like, I keep myself up trying to get to certain percentage (My Kindle App on my Android shows me how far I am through a book by a percentage instead of pages - because I bump up the size of my letters), so when I was at 89% and trying so desperately to finish last night, having my phone fall on my face over and over was very annoying. I should have just put it down, but I couldn't. The worst is when it would fall and wake up Bobby - embarassing. "Yes, I just tried to knock myself out with my phone again." Plus, he doesn't read and doesn't "get" reading. AND he doesn't want me to explain any of the story to him, not becuase he wants to see the movie, but simply because HE DOESN'T CARE! It's okay, but when I'm in a good book I want to tell him, and I can't! Frustrating. But still, not as frustrating as dropping my phone on my face. A book falling on my face might feel a lot sweeter. I would just leave it there, and hide under it. Or hope for osmosis. But I can't leave my phone there, I'd get brain cancer, right?
(Bytheway: What am I reading right now? Today I started book 3 of the Hunger Games Trilogy, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins - yes, intended for young adults, no I don't agree that young adults should read - until they're older young adults, like 16ish would be my guess - but they are very well written, I like them much better than Twilight and I'm more motivated to finish trilogy than I am to finish Harry Potter, and I do not fall asleep reading them because they're boring, but because I'm sleepy. I am lovin' these books. That's probably because I'm a young adult - at least at heart.)

I have Hunger Games on reserve at the library :)
You'd better sit and chat with me about it once you read it! :)
