New Moon

I have finished the second book in the "Twilight" saga called "New Moon." While it wasn't as good as "Twilight" I still enjoyed reading it and I will still continue on with the series. I think that the lack of Edward in this book was what slowed the story down for me. He brings in a lot of the drama and romance which is what makes the book more exciting for me. Hopefully he will once again be the main male character in the next book which is entitled "Eclipse." Apparently "Eclipse" has not come out in paperback yet, so sadly I will have to wait to purchase it. I have already purchased "Twilight" and "New Moon" in paperback and I always prefer to have my series all the same. It's going to be hard to wait!

Twilight


I have recently started and recently finished the book called "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. It was so good I had such a hard time putting it down to even spend some time with my family! Before I had even finished "Twilight" I knew I was going to end up reading the whole series, so my boyfriend and I went out to one of our local Borders bookstores and bought the next book in the series called "New Moon". I have just started reading that one and I hope it's as good as "Twilight" was! I have not seen the movie yet, but a few of my co-workers have gone to see it multiple times. I tend to be a bigger fan of the books than the movies when they make movies based on books, but perhaps I'll go check out the movie sometime.

Who Will Comfort Toffle?

My amazingly sweet boyfriend made me the happiest woman in the world by being such a sweetheart and buying me the book "Who Will Comfort Toffle?" It's a Moomin book by Tove Jansson. We were just strolling through a sort of indoor flea market type mall called Global Market here in Minneapolis and we were looking at the Scandinavian store because I'm Scandinavian and I wanted to see what they had there and right on the shelf was a Moomin book! I about died right there! So my boyfriend told me that he would buy it for me because he knew it would totally make my day and bring me happiness This book is just amazing! The story it tells and the illistrations are just magnificent. I happen to have some postcards that are from the book, which I think is totally cool, and I am so glad that I can share not only this book with you but also some of the illistrations from it so everyone can enjoy it! :-)
