Twilight - Stephenie Meyer

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Target was sold out of P.S. I Love You (Feb. book club book) so I took a recommendation from the girl working there. It's a young adult book so I was a little skeptical, but it turned out OK. Twilight is the first in a teenaged vampire trilogy. Had a young adult feel to it but it was a quick read and got me through my flight back to Hawaii. Would I recommend it? Hmm. Maybe as a beach book.

Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

This was January's book club and while I had all intentions of finishing it in time for the meeting, I didn't ... Whoops! But I did finish it while on airplanes across the world and back. And what did I think? Eh.

a) how could this possible be a good movie? It spans way too many years and the main male character is supposed to be kind of ugly -- I'm sure Hollywood would cast some handsome man in the role.

b) the two main characters were positively hateful. He was creepy and she was frigid.

c) beautifully written but it was a little tedious to get through. There were a LOT of words!

d) strangely, I really liked the ending. So I'm glad I didn't put it down.

Eh. 2.5 starts. Maybe 3.

Book Slump

As every other time I finished an Outlander book, I went through a book slump. I tried to read The Great Gatsby for book club in December, but I just couldn't. The characters were such whiny jerks. :o) Then things got crazy-go-nuts with the Holidays and The Big Move to Maui. But I'm back on track with a few books in my back pocket!!
