Yes, I finally have a copy of Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn in hand. I began reading it on Sunday night and had to put it down. I stopped because I couldn’t continue. I have to emphasize that I do not nor ever liked the character of Bella (read my review of Eclipse). So far, Bella [...]

Cynthia Leitich Smith’s Tantalize It took me forever to finish reading Tantalize. I do enjoy the stories about werewolves and vampires but not when they are redundant and uninspiring. Tantalize is a perfect example. As my co-worker said, “It has all been done before.” So frankly, it was rather boring and dry because it didn’t offer anything new. In [...]
ECLIPSE, IS IT WORTH THE WAIT???
Posted: September 5, 2007 in Annette Curtis Klause, Books reviewed in 2007, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Ellen Schreiber, Science and Fantasy, Stephenie Meyer, YA booksTHE LONG AWAITED and continued story of Edward and Bella.

There was too much dialogue, reminding readers about every little thing that happened in the previous books—Monotonous. There [...]

Twilight…everything and more!!!
Posted: September 5, 2007 in Books reviewed in 2007, Science and Fantasy, Stephenie Meyer, YA booksMy colleague actually recommended Twilight by Stephenie Meyer to me. I LOVED Twilight. I devoured it and wanted to speak to my husband about it but he didn’t. Twilight is a vampire-human love story. Isabella (human) meets and falls in love with Edward (vampire). The writing and the mythos is superb. Highly Recommended.
