having not had a completely free weekend in weeks and with the husband out of town, last weekend i had a million and one things i wanted to do. rake and weed the yard, clean the house, go to the farmers market, make and can tomato sauce...
but i nixed all that and sat like a lump while i plowed through twilight. i had received this book as a birthday gift more than 3 months ago and had almost forgotten i'd had it. until our visit with friends last weekend when sara was completely absorbed in finishing the second book and moving on to the third. so i thought, you know, i just need to read it.
and read it i did. all weekend long! i loved just sitting and being engrossed in a book. i've not done that in a really long time. and i have to say, i really enjoyed it! the first 1/2 of the book was a whole lot better than the second half. the dangerous romance, attraction vs. repulsion. all that stuff was great. really well written. once the book got on there were a lot of things that i was like, well now that doesn't quite make sense. but even still i found myself wanting to know what was going to happen next.
now i'm more than 1/2 way through the second book, new moon. and even though i'm not liking this one as much as i liked the first, i'm still really compelled to keep reading. but i find the main character, bella, to be awfully whiny and annoying. and it's totally predictable. but i still want to know what happens. so i'm off to read some more...
