#11 Eclipse Poster

I am really getting excited about the new Twilight Saga film...Eclipse. We, Twilight Fans, will have to wait till June 30, 2010 to see what happens next for Edward, Bella, and Jacob. Of course, if you read the books, you know what happens.

#10 Twilight Saga Mania

The Twilight Saga books and movies have launched the careers of their young stars. It has forced the world to choose Team Edward or Team Jacob. With the success of the book series many Vampire books have been produced and have become bestsellers. But I have to ask why?

I am one of those adoring fans of the books. One day, I was sitting in my painting class and one of my classmates was reading this thick book, before class began, and ask her what she was reading? She told me it was Twilight; she later explained to me what it was about and it sounded interesting. There had been many books about Vampires and I thought to myself, "what would be different about this one?" So when I got home after school that day, I googled it and Stephanie Meyer and it peeked my interest even more. After liking what I was finding about, I went to one of the local bookstores, Paint and Pen, and bought Twilight. I started reading the book that night after studying, and before I knew it, it was 3 am and I was almost finished the book. So needless to say, I was addicted. That weekend I went back to that bookstore and bought New Moon and Eclipse. (Breaking Dawn had not been released.) In the period of 2 days i finished both books. After reading all 3 books, I was hooked and couldn't wait for the 4th installment.

#8 The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

Most of of the people that know me know that I love to read and that I am an avid reader. I have been keeping a book blog on my Facebook page. When I read, I feel as if I am stepping into a new world created by the authors; it is like stepping into a movie. I picture everything from what each character looks like to where the story is taking place.

Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors. He has the ability to write some of my best stories that deal with love and loss, which is for the lack of a better word odd for a man. He has the ability to tell a story in such a way to make you want more. I love how he sets his stories around the same place, Wilmington, NC. I just finished reading his latest book, The Last Song. Although there was still the same themes that Sparks usually writes about, he kind of, for me, wrote about it in a new direction.

The Last Song was about 2 different stories about love. The first was about falling in love for the first time (Ronnie and Will) and the love between and father and his children. It was refreshing for him to concentrate on the bond between a father and his daughter, a relationship so important.

I can't wait for the movie.

Synopsis: From Nicholas Sparks' Website

Seventeen year-old Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father… until her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts… and heal them.

Now it is on to the next book whatever that may be.
