I Am A Bookworm

I keep track of my reading at Shelfari. I like to read a lot so it helps me keep track of what I've read and what I have left to read (like in a series). A few of them are my husband's (the bike riding) or my toddler's (the potty books, lol). Here's my bookshelf:

One More Day 'til Twilight Craze Begins

One more day to Twilight! Are y'all ready for the new craze? They're saying it's going to be like Harry Potter but because they've already locked these mostly new on the scene actors into the whole saga for little money, that the movie makers are going to be the ones who make tons of money off this one.

My daughter told me this morning that when she was reading Twilight last night, it made her smile because she got to the part where Edward likes Bella. I'm glad she's enjoying reading.

Twilight Series - Read Them All! Now it's my daughter's turn.

I finished the fourth book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4), in less than 24 hours. I sat up until 3:00 a.m. the other night reading this! It was, in my opinion, the best out of the four books in the series (though they were all good...this one was just the best, in my bookworm opinion).




My oldest daughter had parent-teacher conferences last night and her four teachers that I met with all raved about what a great kid she was, good grades, etc. They gushed so much it was almost too much, lol. She was really embarrassed but also loved hearing it all. Anyway, she REALLY wanted to start reading this Twilight book series and her school had the book fair going on that night for parent-teacher conferences so...yes, I bought Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) for her from the book fair (would've been cheaper - like half the price - to buy it from Amazon but it's a tradition to buy the kids books at the book fair at Parent-Teacher conferences for good grades). I checked mine out of the library, lol. For her good grades (all A's), she deserved the book so we bought it (my other three kids also received books as gifts for their good reports as well).




Today my daughter had a 'reading marathon' at school so she started on her Twilight saga herself today...like so many other pre-teens/teens around the United States (and their parents too).

Of course, now she wants to see the movie when it comes out next weekend and get the poster because she thinks Edward the Vampire is "so cute" :)

Author Contacted Me!

Last week, I mentioned a book I was reading (Night Kill by Ann Littlewood) in one of my posts. The book had mentioned a dog breed that gives birth by c-section which sent me on a hunt online to find out which breed this was. I'd had no idea!

Anyway, the author left me a comment on my blog on that post. I was very surprised to say the least and, of course, had to brag to dh that his bookworm wife was just left a comment on her blog by an author. He was suitably impressed as he should be.

If you get a chance to pick up her book, you should check it out. It's a murder mystery that involves the zoo so if you like mysteries and big cats (as I do), you'll like this book. Here's Ms. Littlewood's web site and blog.
