50 out of 101: Breaking Dawn

OMG! What a great book, and a great ending (?) to the Twilight Saga. This book was very good, a lot happened, and it happened fast. But not at all in a bad way. It didn't feel rushed or anything like that.

I was *very* pleased with this book. The worst thing about this book was finishing it, because now it's over. At least for now anyway. I would totally love it if the saga continued on. Keeping my fingers crossed.

49 out of 101: Eclipse

So this is a little late, as I finished Eclipse (book 3 of the Twilight saga) a few weeks ago and am already about 1/3 of the way through the last book- Breaking Dawn. I really enjoyed Eclipse, the continuing love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob is quite gripping. The dynamics of the relationships between Bella/Edward, Bella/Jacob is so intense (although I am totally on team edward--LOL) The action really picks up in this book, and makes it much harder to put down. While I did enjoy New Moon, I must say that Eclipse is a better book (a lot of people agree that New Moon, while still good, is probably the least favorite or least enjoyed book of the saga).

There were a few parts in Eclipse that were incredibly frustrating. It's hard not to form an attachment to the characters in this series. And with certain situations in Eclipse I had a hard time keeping quiet and not sharing my frustrations with my co-worker who happened to still be on New Moon.

I'm totally hooked on the Twilight Series.

48 out of 101: New Moon

Continuing with the Twilight Saga I just recently finished New Moon, which is book 2 of the series. And I must say, I am still hooked. I don't want to give away too many details of the book, but this one continues the story, and is filled with lots of drama, romance, and action. I'm definitely loving the series, I'm loving that a couple of the girls at my work are reading it too so we can all chat about it, and I can not wait til the movie comes out.

Onto Eclipse...book 3!

47 out of 101: Twilight

So after seeing this book around for a while, and wondering what it was all about I finally decided to give it a try, since my friend and co-worker also started reading the book. I must say that I was very impressed, and enjoyed this book that I truly had a hard time putting it down. Despite the size of the book, it wasn't such a long read considering the font size is rather large. The writing style of the author is smooth and makes for easy reading. Plus the story line itself is just awesome and completely captivating.

I'm not one to be into vampires or any kind of science fiction type books like that, but this one was really great. Because overall it is a love story, and who doesn't enjoy a good love story every once in a while. This book was so great that I already bought New Moon (the second book in the series) and will start reading it tonight. I have started a few series (The Left Behind Series, Eragon, Confessions of a Shopaholic--etc) but this is the first since the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants that I enjoyed so much I want to read the books consecutively. Hopefully this next one will be just as good.

46 out of 101: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

So this book was unlike any book I've ever read before. It is definitely out of my normal genre of reading and wouldn't have been anything I would have picked up on my own. But it's part of the dragonlance series that my boyfriend Rick just loves. So we made this little deal that I'd give on of his books a try and he would give one of mine a try as well. (I'm still trying to decide what book of mine I'll have him read).

So this book was very much fantasy. Kind of had the whole Lord of the Rings type thing going (never read those books-- but I did *love* the movie). And actually it did remind me a bit of Eragon, which I really enjoyed too. It had everything a good fantasy book should have. It had a lot of action, a good plot line as they struggled to combat dark and evil forces, and of course love and honor. I really, really enjoyed it. Initally I found myself trying to read it so that I could finish it... but just a few chapters into it and I was hooked. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Which is always a sign of a good book.

It was a nice break from the typical stuff I tend to go towards in choosing my books. However it is part of a very large series of books, and as I told Rick I just love reading too much to be able to committ myself to a large series of books. As it is I still have to finish the Eragon series, as well as the Left Behind Series.

Haha... which is funny actually, because the next book I plan on reading is Twilight... which is also a series. LOL

45 out of 101: The Kite Runner

Okay, so I'm probably a little behind with my reading. Especially considering I just barely read (and finished) the kite runner. Which was an awesome book and it definitely lived up to the hype. I will admit it was a pretty heavy read, which I did expect, although I was pretty shocked by some of the story line. I never would have expected some of the things that occured.

I really enjoyed this book though. It had so many elements that helped to make it the powerful book that it was. The relationships in this book were so deep, that you couldn't help but feel their pain and struggles. The relationship between Amir and Haasan was unlike anything else...

Overall just a great book, that far exceeded my expectations.

44 out of 101: Sweet Love

When I initally picked up this book in Barnes and Noble, I'll admitt I was judging it based off of the pretty pink cover with the delicious looking cupcake on the cover. But I sure am glad I chose this book. The story line is one that many people can relate to: life, love, and the complicated yet beautiful relationship between a mother and a daughter, and the love of food... all wrapped up into one wonderful story!

This book was great. Easy to read... touching... and you really began to care for the characters and all of their unique personality traits. I enjoyed this book very much, and I hope that the next book I read will be just as wonderful!
