I have recently become employed – yes, I am finally teaching some writing courses!!! I haven’t stopped reading but I have been pinched for time in keeping this (and other goals) updated! I think there’s a shot I’ll make it! I just need to post my lil book review testaments! I seriously plan on setting down and commiting them all (10!!)to “multimodal text” within the next few weeks! Bring on FALL BREAK!

New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
(2nd in the Twilight series)
Interesting read….I can see the appeal the series has for the teen set….the relationship between the two lead characters is that crazy teenage all-consuming love that we all remember so well with a jacked up vampire/werewolf twist….I’m interested to see where the 3rd book is going. I think Bella’s behavior is a little obsessive and somewhat erratic, and she tends to be a little thoughtless but I guess it goes with the age. I can’t wait to see the movie….I have a feeling the werewolves are going to be smoking hot =)
Eternals by Neil Gaiman
Another fabulous graphic novel by Gaiman. The story centers around the Eternals, a group of immortals created by the Celestials(aka Giant Alien Robot Things). The Eternals were created to act protectors of the Earth and all its inhabitants. Their enemies are the “changing people” or “deviants”....who pretty much look like monsters. The story covers a lot of cool theories about some of humanity’s greatest myths and mysteries…I hope there’s more to come from this series =) A must read!
