Read anything good lately?

I've joked about this for quite some time...how my kids would not let me read the Twilight Series of books. Well I've asked my daughter about the movies and she said that she watched the first one with her girlfriends back in South Dakota and that it sucked. I asked her what sucked about it- the more she hemmed and hawed about it I knew that it had more to do with her friends attitudes towards the male actors than anything else. So, while she was still in school I happened to watch the first movie- Twilight and LOVED it!
As it is, in a 2 week time span I've managed to read all 4 books in the Twilight Series and have seen the first 3 movies. The last time I read books so fast was when I was reading, well lets just say that I'm all over these books as I was with J.K. Rowling and her series of Harry Potter books! These novels are a terrific read, the author knew how to keep her readers hooked and how to draw new ones in! Thank you Stephanie Meyer for keeping me entertained over the 2010 Christmas Holiday school break!

Everything Jane!

I don't know about you, but I'm all over anything Jane Austen! From her books and going further and reading stores by authors that write in her manner. I just ordered some new books through Amazon and I can hardly wait until they arrive!

the love of reading books

I love to read, and of course I have my handful of favorite authors. But what I've been reading these past few days is an off shoot of Jane Austen's' work. I just finished reading a book by Amanda Grange "Captain Wentworth's Diary", I had read "Mr. Darcy's Diary" and it was excellent and I had no doubt that this own would be the same. Let me tell you that I was not disappointed in it at all! If you have read the book "Persuasion" by Jane Austen, then this books by Amanda Grange fills in some gaps and is a perfect accompaniment. My next book is "Mr. Knightley's Diary" and is an off shoot from Jane Austen's wonderful book "Emma". I'm waiting a couple more weeks until I order my next 2 books...Colonel Brandon's Diary and Edmund Bertram's Diary- I want to save these for the plane ride over to England, but if I order them now, I know that I'll read them now, LOL!

I've started to make my summer reading list and I can hardly wait to see what wonderful book shops await me in England next month!
