Finals are here. Which means that, aside from a few, fleeting moments of sleep, my bed has looked a lot like this the past few days…

But a girl can really only take so much forced reading, especially when it’s about the different pathways Asian economies have taken to enter the global trading market.

So when my eyes glaze completely over and all those tiny letters are one big fuzzy mess, I find myself here.

Because truly, there is no place to relax quite like Barnes&Nobles. I buy a Starbucks drink… I wander the aisles… I eventually load my arms up with as many magazines as they can handle and melt into one of the comfy chairs in the corner.

For some reason it feels like reading the books for free is against the rules, but magazines…I’ll go through those just as I please

Truth be told, I’ve never left a bookstore empty-handed and saw no reason why today should be any different.

E L James’ Fifty Shades of Grey is a book I was wanting to read for a little while now. So when reader Kelsneeze requested that I read and review it, it was that last little push I needed. I am now officially one book the richer.

All I’ve read is the back cover and I’m already hooked! I have a sneaking suspicion that my nose will find itself between those pages more than I planned this weekend.

And because I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t…I came home with these beauties as well.

Anyone read this book? What did you think? No spoilers please!
