Reading

Twilight

I got this book on a whim and then couldn't put it down. I read it in three days, and those were days extremely busy with other stuff too. I was looking at a description of another Meyer's book saying "Her first adult novel!" and I thought "What?! What am I reading?" True enough some digging revealed that the Twilight series is a young adult collection... but I DON'T CARE! It's so good! I already started on the sequel. The movie comes out in December. I am there. A fourth book installement comes out Aug 2. It's reserved.

Listening

Young@Heart

We took Aaron's mom to see the movie when she was in town and I nearly cried though the entire thing. It's wonderful, inspirational and these seniors' singing is something to hear!

Watching

The Darjeeling Limited

This came in Netflix and I loved it. The cineamatography, the quirkiness. Could have done without all the Natalie Portman nekkidness in the intro film though.

Eating

The Melting Pot

After eating at one in Detroit I have not been able to stop thinking about all that melted cheese and chocolate. It haunts me daily. We are driving to Buffalo to eat there this weekend!

  2. The Twilight series is awesome! My friends and I are planning to go to the release party at our local B&N for the latest book August 1st. Her adult novel "The Host" is fantastic, too!

  3. You've finally joined the entire country in the "Twilight" epidemic. I started reading them last summer and it exploded into mainstream at the beginning of this year. I teach 6th grade and every girl in my class has plans to marry Edward. Enjoy the rest of the books.

  4. My teen daughter loves the Twilight series. She even made me read the first book. She's also made all her friends read the books too. I noticed at our local BN that they're going to have a "prom party" at midnight of the release date. Any ideas what a prom party is?

  8. jocelyn - I am almost finished with New Moon!

    lisa-marie - I am going on Aug 1st too... need to get The Host too, but not sure if it will measure up to Edward and Bella.

    andrea - I just think it means everyone dresses up in prom dresses

    sparklesparkle - it's about a girl who moves from Arizona to Forks, Washington and discovers some "unique" kids in her school, especially one in particular...

  9. oooer I just read Twilight and loved it to. I bought the sequel and read it straight away (didn't love it as much but it was good).

    It was so good. Yesterday I saw a woman on the train reading it and felt like talking to about how good it was. Funny how novels catch you like that.
