My Book List…

Back on the book front, I’ve been slow in my readings and I have not progressed anywhere.

Typical jo.

Right now, I’m stuck on “The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette” by Carolly Erickson.  One of my favorite movies is Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst and what can I say, I was intrigued.  I wanted to know more about this Queen and what made her so legendary.  So far the book is good, except for the part where she gives birth to her first child.  Let’s just say … a little too much information.  Like a push here and there and POP out comes a baby would have sufficed….

ANYWAYS, I also just bought a book of essays written by Sloane Crosley, “I WAS TOLD THERE’D BE CAKE.”  It’s a New York Times Bestseller and I read the first page and I made my way to the cashier.  I really like her voice, and I can’t wait to read more of it!!

Now, for the main topic of discussion.  There’s this book out, and it has gained an incredible amount of popularity.  You may have heard of it, it’s called “Twilight” (and I can hear the fans gasping as I mention the novel.)  I don’t know much about the book, but apparantly its amazing and it has everyone buzzing.  My amazing friend K, has read the first 2 books of the series and all I hear are good things. 

I mean yes, vampires, kind of turns me off from reading the series, but K says that I’ll get hooked no matter what.  She goes on to say that the suspense of the novel and Stephenie Meyer’s writing is captivating, and that I’ll probably finish it in a day. 

My mom, believe it or not, has read ”Twilight” also and says that its a great book.  I mean I guess I should read this!!  ALSO, the movie adaptation of “Twilight” is due out on 11.21.08 with the likes of Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory from HP 4) and Kristen Stewart.  I mean Robert Pattinson is gor-gE-ous!!  From the previews I have seen, the movie looks promising!

Now, I’m really curious about this book, so I think I’m going to start reading it!!  That is of course, after I’m done reading my two other books and my school novels…

yea, thats not going to happen! I’m def starting “Twilight” tonight.

For any fans of the Twilight series, you’re opinions/comments/suggestions are always welcomed!!
