I watched the first 5 or so episodes of the tv show first, so I think that's why I could get into the books so easily. I already loved certain characters from tv, so it was easier to like them on the page too. I think that if I hadn't seen the way the tv show portrays Elena first then I probably would have hated her to start with. They seem to be changing quite a bit of the books.

Yeh I definitely think I did! But she does get nicer as the books go on. For all the similarities between them and Twilight, Elena starts as like the complete opposite to Bella. Can't someone find a happy medium?!


I have just started Civilizations and its a lot like Europe a history which is good because I greatly enjoyed Europe.Got as far as the glories of ancient Greece and its fascinating !!!



Borrowed them from library and had to give back as I was havin a bad reader's block.

Will do Donna, as I have borrowed them again from library lol.

i ve not seen some of this novel, though i just finished an autobiograhy of an ex coloured man.



So now I will read A Theory of Relativity.
They died instantly.
Or close enough.
Gordon, of course, knew that "instantly" in this context, didn't mean what it seemed to suggest. Several minutes would have passed inside the car after the impact, while the final tick and swoosh of Ray's and Georgia's heart-sent blood swept a pointless circuit, while muscles contracted loyally at the behest of a last volley of neurological commands. But there would have been no awareness, or only a few twilight seconds - and no memory.




Have to confess that for today I have stopped reading Empire of the Sun and Picked up Daphne du Maurier A Daughters Memoir by Flavia Leng ad I was at a rather graphic description of food shortages and Husband had taken me out fo a beautiful 3 Course lunch with Wine and coffee to and my conscience kept pricking at me so I had two options do not read or pick up something cheerful....The rest as they say is history.


Hoping for a big Finish......

I liked Van Alen Legacy but I feel like her story is getting too conviluted. Let me know what you think. I read it thinking that it was the last in the series....not so. Now the wait begins.


That series is decent, but too strung out in my opinion. Personally I think the Wheel of Time series does a better job of keeping people interested (& confused). Hope you feel better and enjoy the rest of the series.






I'm currently reading the Well & The Mine by Gin Phillips
