Twilight?

Well, so far I have read nothing but bad reviews.....I am taking them with a grain of salt because sometimes I think you need to read the book to fully appreciate the movie....It's supposed to have been low budget compared to HP so maybe the next one (2010, I think) will be better. I still have hopes for RP, I think the eyes in the poster are a bit much, but will try to take it all with a grain of salt.........Once again, don't think I'll be able to make it tomorrow. Will be on the to do list, if just to say that I did it.

Twilight x 2


Alright, I finished Twilight this afternoon for the 2nd time. Not as crazy as the BFF about these vampires, but a good story. From what I've seen from the movie, not necessarily the stills, and after rereading the book, I think Robert Pattinson will be able to do Edward without a problem. Hopefully I'm not off the mark with that one. I'm hoping I might be able to squeeze the movie in Friday, but with my work hours, it will probably have to wait.....Hopefully they will have some afternoon showings next week and I can beat the teeny bopper crowds........BFF and KAREN.......you'll have to watch your comments!! Don't spoil anything!!!! Glad to hear if you like it or not, though!!

BREAKING DAWN


On a scale of 1-4, a definite 4 and a very good read!! Well worth the time and trouble to get the book even though I had to sit in the parking lot to avoid listening to "the band" that was playing. I enjoyed the story even though parts were predictable. Will be a reread series, but I will probably leave it on the shelf for a bit...........Nice to have something besides Harry Potter that got my interest so much and kept it!! And the cover, totally get it, surprised that people didn't like it, maybe now that they have read the book they will appreciate it more--

Today's the Day

Well, the day is finally here and book #4 is coming out in a few hours (for those of us crazy enough to go at midnight). I am excited for Breaking Dawn and while I probably won't stay up and read the whole thing like I did for HP 7, I am happy for another great story. On that note, I also registered for my copy of The Tales of Beetle the Bard, while it might not be Harry Potter, it will probably get me to give 7 another read, and maybe 6 first so I am ready for the movie...........Great to have some good books in the future!!!!!!!

FINISHED

I got a little ambitious and finished Eclipse last nite. I ripped through the last 150 pages and probably missed some details because I was so d--- tired, but I finished. Nothing that I expected!! Very interesting!! I am with my BFF. Team Edward. Really there isn't a choice. If she chooses differently, then all the other books were for waste. Team Edward, definitely Team Edward.......How many days 'til August 2??

In The Groove

I've barely started book 3, but have been surfing the net and have to admit, I am excited by this whole vampire thing. Devout reader of Anne Rice and her vampires, I like Stephanie Meyer's just as much and am happily engrossed in the tales of Bella and Edward. I'm definitely glad to have reserved by copy of Breaking Dawn and will wait in anticipation for the movie. Don't know if I am Team Edward or Team Jacob. I haven't got that far yet. I go back and forth so hopefully book 3 will pull me one way or the other....I'd like to see her go vampire, but am not sure..........................

Booking It, But Pacing Myself

I finished the Twilight book. It was fantastic....I will start the 2nd one tonite. I bought #3 and put a reserve in for #4. There is supposed to be a midnight deal going on like they did with Harry Potter. Don't know if I will go that far, but the books are looking like they will be a good read. I just hope I can make the other two last a week or so, I hope...

New Books, I think....

Well, taking a cue from my BFF, I am trying the "new" vampire books and have started the Twilight series. So far, fantastic, I am engrossed in the story and that is always the sign of a good read for me.....I hear there are 3 books with a 4th and final to come....She also has a new book/storyline with The Host.....something else I may need to nab after these vampire books....Yeah!!!! An exciting read!!! I am oh so happy :)
