Patio and Birthday

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

Happy Birthday Tanya!!!!

Today is my friend Tanya's birthday. I am leaving in a few minutes to go and join them on a patio downtown. It is a little cool and windy, but should be nice.

I got her three books for her birthday (don't worry! She won't be reading this today):

The Book Thief
Twilight
New Moon

I am so in love with Edward Cullen right now that if I could figure out how to make myself a fictional character and join him in the story, I would leave my husband. Except that I may not have a shot again Bella...

I know that they are silly teen romances, but at least it is better than Sweet Valley High - which I read as a preteen. The writing isn't strong, but the story is intriguing. And it takes you back to that obsessive, all encompassing first love. Completely unrealistic, but good summer escapist reading.

I hope she enjoys them!

I don't think I have met one woman yet that is not completely obsessed with Edward Cullen (myself included). I agree with you that the series is a great summer escape and very addictive.
I recommend the series to anyone who wants to get so involved in a book that you can't put it down.
If you enjoyed the Twilight series I just picked up a new book called "Evermore" by Alyson Noel - vert similar.

Thanks! I will have to check it out... I have a date already (with a girlfriend) to see New Moon in November - she is a Jake fan from the trailer. We even have her niece coming with us as cover. Or maybe if there is a midnight show we could attend with all of the other women over 21 who love Edward.
