Last night as I was getting ready to curl up in bed with Twilight our power goes out. Not good people, not good at all. At first I thought well, I can use a flashlight and that’ll only add to the spooky atmosphere of the book but it’s cold in Dallas and as the hours kept going by and still no electricity our house was becoming an iceberg. I did finish the book and 10 hours later we finally got power back. Grrr, I’m not happy with the electric company.
But back to Twilight. I loved it. I admit I was a bit leery of it at first. I had heard so much raving about it just like with The Thirteenth Tale and didn’t know if it was going to fall short of my expectations. In the case of The Thirteenth Tale I thought it was enjoyable but I can barely even remember what it was about. Want to know just how much I loved Twilight? I’ve ordered the sequel, New Moon and should have it by Monday. Oh yes, and I think I have a crush on Edward too!
Alright tonight I start The Street of Crocodiles for the upcoming Slaves discussion. I am really looking forward to this book. Let’s hope there will be no more electricity issues to deal with and it will just be a night filled with good reading.
That good, huh? Now I’m curious to read it!
I think their are a couple I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN fan clubs out there in cyperspace. I’m ready to join!
No power when it’s cold….brrrrr…don’t envy you!
Hope things are better now!
I’ll definitely have to read this one then.
There are more than a few I Love Edward Cullen clubs! I don’t “officially” belong to one, but let me tell you …. 🙂
One taste of Edward certainly leaves you wanting more!
Can’t wait for you to get New Moon!
Kisane – It’s just such a fun read. I think you’d enjoy it.
Stephanie – Fan clubs? Oh my!
Claire – Thankfully the power seems to be doing fine now. Keeping fingers crossed.
SciFiChick – And, you’ll have to let us know how you like it.
Chelle – As I said to Stephanie, Fan Clubs?! You guys shouldn’t have told me about those! ha,ha…
You have more power outages than in still battered New Orleans.
Sad. You don’t live a Third World city like I do.
Oooh, no fun not having electricity and heating. Maybe you should keep a candleabra and a hot bedpan around since it seems like the electricity company wants you to feel like you are in the Victorian age! haha.
Hopefully this won’t happen again over the weekend!
I am glad you loved it. I can’t wait for the next one. It is so hard for books to live up to their hype. Won;t it be intresting to read Edwards POV?
My niece and I are have really enjoyed THE Naming trilogy. You might like it. No vamps, but magic abounds.
Did you hear about the Forbes Top 20 Women in Entertainment? JK Rowling is woth 1BILLION and comes in second. Oprah was first. Who woulda thought that magic, muggles, He Who Shall Not Be Named and Harry would be BIG BUSINESS!
I am reading The Thirteenth Tale right now. I am enjoying it. Loved the beginning and the middle is getting a little long.
This is good to hear. I was disappointed with The Thirteenth Tale and was beginning to worry that perhaps this raved about book could be over-hyped, too. I’m so relieved to hear that you enjoyed it as much as Heather and Andi. My copy is winging its way to me from Amazon!
Isabel – Indeed. I don’t know why this keeps happening in our area but I’m calling TXU. I’m tired of this.
Christine – I like the candelabra idea 🙂
Nancy – The Naming trilogy? I am so looking for that! I did hear about JK Rowling. Lucky woman.
Les in ne – Can’t wait to hear what you think of it. Like Nancy posted, I thought it too dragged in the middle. Twilight I finished in a day!
I will be finishing book two shortly–just as absorbing as the first. I have a couple minor complaints, but all in all a very entertaining follow-up! I will be working on the Schulz book this weekend, too. I hope you don’t have anymore power outages! Brrr!
Danielle – I’m jealous. I want to know what happens in book two 🙂
