Twilight (Book 1 in the Popular Series)

If you haven't heard about the new book that all the teens are into (and the movie that is being made from this book, set to come to theatres in November), I checked twilight (by Stephenie Meyer) out from the library after hearing what a great book it was. It is a "young adult" book but adults were finding it great so I thought I'd give it a try. I can see why this book is so popular with the teen set. I have the other two books in the series on hold at the library so I can finish the series.

Amazon Buys Shelfari

I am an avid reader...a downright nerd if you must know when it comes to reading (or so that is what my husband calls me). I just found out that one of my favorite online stores (Amazon) bought a book social networking site that I use, Shelfari. I wonder if this means changes are in store for Shelfari...perhaps more options in the social networking area. We shall see.

I've been keeping track of what I own and/or read at Shelfari. I'm not sure why I started doing it but I do. I think it's the nerd side of me. Here's my bookshelf:

Shopping Online

I've created an online affiliate retail page of some popular stores that we all love to shop from like Amazon, Hot Topic, ebay, PacSun, Zoobooks (my eight year old son loves these magazines), and more! As I become affiliated with more popular shops, I will add them to this page. Check it out.

If your child likes those "build a" stuffed animal shops, you HAVE to try Stuffed With Fluff! Just a whole lot of fun. I bet you the little ones would love one of these in their Easter basket.

If you have a pre-teen or teenage daughter and worry about the chemicals and other unnatural products they are applying to their face and body, check out Mineral Girlz. It's a healthy, more natural alternative (and more natural look as well - no more goop!!). LOL. Check them out.
