Lastest reading material

Ok, so I had sent a call out on FB about what I should read over vacation this summer. I received some feedback and ended up reading My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Excellent book and easy read. I was so impressed with her writing and how each chapter in the book was from the perspective of each of the characters. I loved the story line, even though it was very sad and now I am not so interested in seeing the movie.



Which brings me to my next book (series). TWILIGHT

I get many ill remarks from my friends about these books, but I am wow'd by how REALLY good they are. I had several people mention them to me and my interest never really fell to them, but I thought I would give it a try.



Note: Prior to reading My Sisters Keeper, I mostly read christian fiction like, The Shack, Karen Kingsbury and Francine Rivers books, so this was a big style change for me.



Anyways, I am now obsessed with the Twilight Series. The most disappointing part was that I had seen the movie prior to reading the book. But, I loved the movie and was glad there were no gory, vampire parts to it. So, after reading 497 pages of Twilight, I have now moved on to the 563 page New Moon book. And the next 2 books in the series are even longer. I had someone tell me once that they read the entire series in a weekend because they couldn't put the books down. I give a thumbs up to that one because it is very hard for me to stop. And I hate finishing books because I want them to keep going. I want more and more and more.



One downfall for me is that I now have the Twilight movie and watched it again over the weekend since I had just finished that book. It really disappoints me that movies and books cannot coincide with one another and bring all the greatness of the books into movies. It is somewhat irritating to me, but at least there is something to watch to go along with it.



So where will I be on November 20th.....? That's right, at the debut showing of New Moon.
