Reading still......
I am still reading Twilight. I would say I am almost finished. I have been very slow going with it. I haven't had any time to read lately, so I am trying to get there. I don't even have the new book yet. I am enjoying Twilight though. That is my status. I know this is a very busy time for everyone and that is probably why we aren't seeing each other here as much. Hopefully things will slow down soon and we can get back to normal. Whatever that is?

Does anyone blog anymore?
Goodness, I was wondering if I am the only one who looks at this blog?
Is anyone else reading A Train to Potevka? And has anyone finished Twilight?
I am reading Eclipse now, and A Train to Potevka. I cant stand it anymore, I have to read on to the 3rd and 4th book of Twilight, just to see what happens next. Its almost all I think about.
Reading on....

Twilight on the brain
Thanks for all the inspiring thoughts on Twilight. Bryan and I went and saw the movie on Monday. Wow! It was incredible. It's a little like the book, but lacks some things. But hey, that's the same story with every book to movie, right? Anyways, since then, I have Twilight on the brain. I just keep thinking about what possibly the 3rd book of Twilight could offer next? I have bought the first 2 books of Twilight in paperback, and I would like to keep it that way with the other 2. So every store I go to, I have to check out the books, and see if they have the other 2 in paperback.A little obsessed I know. But I still have not found it in paperback. I was duked at Walmart the other day. I thought I found Eclipse in paperback(there were only 3 left). Well, you can imagine my disappointment, when I realized that they were in Spanish. Good thing I hadn't gotten to the register yet, when I found that out, it would have been quite a challenge to read the 3rd book in Spanish.
Something quite amazing to share......Bryan is now reading A Train to Potevka. I asked him to read a few pages to tell me what he thinks about it.He became so fascinated with it, he made me go get him his own copy so he could finish it. He is passing me by so far already on chapter 6.
The race is on!

Keep going
I was unbelievably irritated with Bella at the end of New Moon too. Keep going though. She redeems herself by the end of the series. The 3rd book is better, but she's still a turd throughout. Just focus on other things in the book. The 3rd one moves a little faster too.

Moving on......
I have finished the second book of twilight, new moon. I am so irritated with Bella. Finally gets who she wants and then all she can think about is Jacob. Oops! Hope I didn't ruin it for you, Shonna. So anyways, I decided to take a little break.I will now read our book read....A Train to Potevka.
After I read that book, I will go back and finish #3 and #4 of twilight series. I hear that A Train to Potevka is a easy read. And well, frankly, after reading the twilight books so quickly I don't think I will have any trouble with getting that book done, and then I can go back to Twilight.

Early start
I finished Train to Potevka two days ago. Thanks for recommending it, Jaime. Actually, the Weston's told me about it a few months ago - they met the author at some event for old folks here in Heber - but I never did read it. I really enjoyed it. I LOVE spy stories and I thought this guy's experience was very amazing. That's all I will say for now, but I'll continue to post as everyone else does.

Done with Twilight on the next?
Hey all, I have finished Twilight. I am on to read the next book, New Moon. (as soon as I can get a copy). Wow! I would have thought in the end, Alice, would have already known about Bella's plan. I was surprised at how far Bella got without having any of the Cullens around. And what you would'nt do for love?in Edwards case that is. Thats all I will say, since Shonna is still reading, I dont want to ruin it for you. The last 100 pages were hard to put down, I just had to finish.
Now that I have read the book, I desperatly want to go see the movie. Just to see how it is played out in the theater.
As far as the book club goes, I know that I have the next pick. Shonna, let us know when you're finished.
You all probably already know what the next book will be, A Train to Potevka by Mike Ramsdell. You can get it on the abebooks.com website for $1.00. Just a heads up for after shonnas done.

Got the book
Hey all, I know I am slow, but have had a very busy month with not much time to read. I did however squeeze in The Absolute True Diary of a Part time Indian by Sherman Alexie of Smoke Signals fame. Very good book. I really enjoyed it. Funny and sad at the same time. I would recommend it. Anyway, Sami brought the book in from her car and now I can begin. She is sad without her books and is going through withdrawls. Anyone have ideas of something new for her to read.

Twilight...again
I finished the series! Actually, I finished it just after Christmas. The last book, Breaking Dawn, is a very good read. It was unexpected in its details of the events (I had heard a few things that happened, but was pleasantly surprised at how those things played out) and very exciting to read. It was a nice finish to the series.
I hope those of you reading are enjoying the book. I know Mom, Karie, and Gary are not reading it, so they are missing out HUGE. We will forgive them, right?
