I...I know it took a lot for you to get through it. I know it took every fiber of your being to finish reading them, and for that I thank you. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, really, I know that. But I also can respect your hatred for them now more than before. You're coming from a place of experiencing them, rather then just listening to others make idiots out of themselves. You've read them, you hated them. It's not like you haven't read them, have no idea what they're all about, but hate them anyway. <br /><br />I love that you read them, and I love even more that you want your "bonus" to go to the JDRF. Your wish is my command!!<br /><br />Thanks Melissa!!!<br /><br /><3 NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-39048491062113341212009-12-17T00:37:09.509-07:002009-12-17T00:37:09.509-07:00Anti-climactic?

Spends too much time in her head having her own conversations. <br /><br />No. Action.<br /><br />Not really a fantasy genre gal but I picked up Hunger Games. Liked it a lot. Read book 2 - Catching Fire. Loved it. Then the devastation. Book 3 comes out in September. Strong female role model with no magical powers who is powerful, anyway. Of course, there's a love triangle but it's not as pronounced.<br /><br />Molokai - Historical Fiction. 3/5<br />Children of the Promise (do you see a theme?) - All 5 (yes 5) books: 5/5<br /><br />Tuesdays with Morrie 4.5/5<br /><br />Have a Little Faith. Did you read Tuesday with Morrie? Pretty much a repeat.<br /><br />And for a shout out to you - New Moon: Snore. Oh, I'm sorry, was I talking?<br /><br />Thank you for asking this humble stranger who apparently hijacks blogs to share her oh-so-important opinion.A Musing Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395701326660695260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-50667873439168411342009-12-16T00:36:13.177-07:002009-12-16T00:36:13.177-07:00Denise: Wanna go to lunch?

Thank you for hating these books; for being one of the few who realizes that Bella is an indecisive, flaky tramp, Edward is a stalker, and Jacob is a hormonal teenager. The repetitiveness of "He is the most beautiful non-human I've ever seen/I get weak and shaky around him/I want to spend FOREVER with him/I can't live without you/blahblahblah.....? Please, someone just throw it on the 'death of freedom of the press' pyre. I was a History major, so the non-fiction goes for me as well. However, fantasy can get better, trust me. I've not read much (only one or two series actually), but 'better' is out there. C.S. Lewis comes to mind-a professor of English at Oxford though he always wanted to teach philosophy. Needless to say, even his children's series gives you something to think about, if you are so inclined as to do something like 'think.' Which, apparently is not a huge priority considering the popularity of the Tweeny-bopper soap opera. So, again, thank you.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534602761236401559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-9535150664967532812009-12-10T22:58:36.712-07:002009-12-10T22:58:36.712-07:00Oh---I think that I love you more than ever now!! ...Oh---I think that I love you more than ever now!!

Do you fear for your life --your blood?? <br />My daughter and DIL's love it. In fact my grand daughter said I should name my 2 new ponies Twighlight and New Moon.<br />I read the books, thought they were ok but Breaking Dawn drove me nuts with the whole "having my baby" thing which was a little weird.<br />but I love fantasy, I love romance, and I LOVE TRUE stories. <br /><br />and besides, Edward I always thought had to be gay.
