There are so many good writers out there that are also quilters. The only thing I don't read are romance novels, just not my cup of tea. Although I have read Three Cup of Tea, a grea non-fiction. |
I read all 4 of the twilight books. They were very entertaining and a fast read!! My daughter read them as well and now, that the movies are coming out, my granddaughter is reading them.... :D
|
I could not believe I would enjoy them as much as I did. They were really a fast read for me. One of the reasons I liked them so well. Is because I have been to that Forks area of Washington and I could picture the area while I was reading.

I read the whole series in about a day after I bought each book! I loved the books so much! :mrgreen: They were good to read! I loved them! :)

Here in our podunk town the theater decided to do a midnight showing for New Moon. It sold out in 2 hours so they added a 3 a.m. showing and IT SOLD OUT! I can't believe that many people want to see the movie on the first night. It boggles the mind.
Of course, it would probably boggle many of your minds to find out movies here are only $5 and that includes a small popcorn and soda. (At the 3 a.m. showing they are having hash browns and OJ.) I always need CPR when I see movie prices in real towns. |
13 year granddaughter lent me her copy to read on my flight from CA back to Jersey. My impression of the book/series is that it's perfect teenage girl reading, "But Mom, I love him, he's so cute and a vampire too, sigh"
Will look into Three Cup of Tea, sounds like a perfect book for my Story Weavers small quilt group. We each read the same book and make a quilt or wall hanging inspired by something in the book. May in Jersey |
I have read the series and would read them again.
|
May, your story weavers group sounds like fun. Kind of a combination quilt guild/book club. What a great idea!!

I was intrigued with the premise of the The Host. Plot (as listed on amazon.com) - A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing. |
