CRAZINESS

OK - as we all know by now if you've ever read my blog I am obsessed with the "Twilight" series. Well, since I read the series of books 3 times in 3 weeks my husband told me I needed to try another one. So, I ventured out & read yet another book! (Oh no! I am just like my mother!! - I love you mom!) He told me to read one of his favorite John Grisham novels - "The Testament". So, I did. He told me I would love it because they go to Brazil & since I've been their then I could relate. But, really, it took me a week to read it & I forced myself to finish it. I just couldn't get into it. I'm not giving up on the reading thing yet, but I'm probably going to give up on John Grisham. Way too slow for my taste. I'd way rather watch his movies - which I love them - & have them be done in 2 hours. I'm going to try the Harry Potter series. I think I would like those - total mindless fantasy & completely rid of any reality! Totally my speed. Which, I won't get my hands on those until my mom brings them to me at Thanksgiving, so I guess I'll have to read my books for the 4th time until then.

I'm having a hard time concentrating as I write this. My neighbors are BLARING music that I can hear in my house. I've never heard a thing come from these guys in the year & a half that we've lived here, but I can hear them tonight. But, the funny part is that they are total gothic people (Yes - they even had a real coffin in the bed of their truck yesterday.) blaring Korn, etc. But, now that the screaming music is over it has switched to Backstreet Boys, MC Hammer, even Vanilla Ice! How hilarious is that? I can only imagine what is going on over their.

Now back to my story, so it wouldn't be in my obsessive nature to not leave you with a little blurb about my books. (Don't worry - I promise this will die down soon!) But, my awesome Dad emailed me this article about the author & just had to share!

Stephenie Meyer
