I don't know how you manage to read and watch so much! I think I am probably the last person to be reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner half way through and quite enjoying it.

My secret Angela, is simply that I do read fast, I'm single with no children, I have to rest a lot for medical reasons and that resting gets to include anime & books! ^o^ It helps balance out the near constant fatigue and severe chronic pain, so I enjoy sharing it all with you.

Not heard of The Maze Runner so you aren't the last by a long shot! Yay for enjoying it, books are meant to make us smile, laugh and cry.
