did i mention? 1 month ago

I’m almost done with the fourth Harry Potter! Evidently I do well with series.



breaking dawn 8 months ago

i read them all… now what?



the twilight saga 8 months ago

i finished book three (Eclipse) on Monday and now i’m reading the final book (Breaking Dawn). so far it’s interesting… i’m not sure how i like the way the plot is going so far, but we’ll see soon enough since i’m having a problem putting it down. hmph.



two down. two to go. 8 months ago

I just finished New Moon – the sequel to Twilight.

“The book of ‘New Moon,’ the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson (who plays Edward in the movie) told Reuters. “Obviously ‘Twilight’ was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, but ‘New Moon’ is really about loss and reconciliation, but the reconciliation isn’t completely full.”

And now I’m onto Eclipse.



i thought i was a fool for no one 8 months ago

“When I was with him, the time and the place were such a muddled blur that I completely lost track of both.” pg 217

Embarrassingly enough – that is how I feel when I’m reading this book (Twilight). I get so enthralled that nothing seems to exist except for me and this book. It’s ridiculous. I feel myself becoming flustered by the words and actions of the characters and then I realize that I have to catch my breath. I can’t even remember the last time someone made me nervous or my heart skip a beat, but this book has been doing it all day.

I’m almost done with it. I’m on pg 363, but I’m making myself go to bed at one. I have to! Luckily, I still have three more books and the movie.



usually 8 months ago

i don’t read books that everyone else is reading. sure i’ve read oprah books or best sellers, but never Harry Potter or, as the case may be right now, Twilight. matter of fact, i told myself i wouldn’t read it. that it was far too trendy and beyond me to get caught up in.

i stayed up until 1:30 reading it. and i didn’t want to stop.



The Polysyllabic Spree 11 months ago

“I don’t want anyone writing in to point out that I spend too much money on books, many of which I will never read. I know that already. I certainly intend to read all of them, more or less. My intentions are good. Anyway, it’s my money. And I’ll bet you do it too.” – Nick Hornby

ha.

we’re reading total truth (pearcey) in house church.

and i’m listening to a book on cd. barack obama’s change we can believe in. i’m still on disc one. this has nothing to do with him and everything to do with me.

i never finish books. i read part of them and move on most of the time. decidedly, that doesn’t bother me. it’s like having a sampler appetizer. i want to have a little bit of everything before i decide what i’m going to have for real.

plus, when i read at the end of the day, my eyes get tired and i fall asleep.



waiter rant 15 months ago

there is a blog called waiter rant. i feel certain you all have heard about it. i never used to read it, but when my friend told me she wanted to read the new Waiter Rant book, i started to pay more attention to it. the guy is hilarious. and truthful.

the service industry is hard. people can be mean. they can also be nice, but mostly you’re treated like shit by customers. its ok, i’m used to it. i thrive off some good sarcastic customer conversation even.

but the book is amazing. he’s dead on about everything he writes and weaves in personal things to make you feel like the two of you could be friends.

i totally recommend it… to everyone. to servers and customers alike. it applies to us all.

waiter rant – thanks for the tip – confessions of cynical waiter.

who is he? i haven’t looked it up. he’s pretty anonymous though i feel certain it’s out by now. who cares? the man has a gift. i’m glad i read it.



through painted deserts 16 months ago

i just finished this book. i feel like i had something to prove. to actually finish it and get through the parts about oregon without having a mental breakdown. and i did it. so i’m proud.
